Jan Blochwitz-Nimoth was born near Dresden, Germany, in 1970. He studied Physics at TU Dresden and the University of Oldenburg, completing his diploma thesis at TU Dresden’s Institute for Applied Photo Physics (IAPP) in the area of ultra-short laser spectroscopy. Early in his career, he worked on inorganic optoelectronics and light projection devices.
In the late 1990s, Jan conducted pioneering research on doped charge transport layers for OLEDs, earning his PhD from TU Dresden in 2001. This work contributed to the founding of Novaled, where he served as co-Founder and long-time Technical and Intellectual Property Manager. Since 2013, Novaled has been a subsidiary of Samsung, and its doping technology is now used in almost all OLED display products worldwide.
From 2017 to 2020, Jan worked as a business consultant and angel investor. Between 2020 and 2022, he was Founder and Financial Managing Director at Arioso Systems, a Fraunhofer spin-off developing innovative Si-MEMS µSpeaker technology for in-ear headphones. He managed the successful sale of Arioso Systems to Bosch Sensortec in 2022.
In late 2022, Jan became the CEO of beeOLED, a deep-tech startup focused on solving the final challenge in OLED display technology: creating a high-efficiency, long-lasting blue emitter.
