Latest stories about OLED for Lighting:Osram to exhibit a large Orbeos OLED Lighting room installation03/12/2010Osram will exhibit a large room filled with Orbeos OLED Lighting panels. This installation was planned under the direction of Professor Andreas Schulz together with his team of the renowned lighting design office 'LichtKunstLicht'. The OLED panels 'float' in the room, in the walls, ceiling and floor. Visitors can enter the room and walk through this installation. 
The installation will be on show in the Light+Building exhibition in Frankfurt (April 11-16). Osram's Orbeos panels are round (88mm diameter), 2.1mm thick and weight 24g each (the efficiency is 25lm/W). The panels are available now on-line. OLED Lighting is one of the four major R&D technologies for LG03/11/2010
Back in January, LG announced that they will spend most R&D money on consumer electronics, wireless communication and next-gen displays (OLEDs, 3D panels and e-paper displays). Via KoreaHerald LG to license OLED Lighting technology to TechnoCorp03/11/2010Technocorp Energy (formed by ex-Kodak employees) will license Kodak's OLED Lighting technology from LG. Technocorp plan is to produce efficient OLED panels (70lm/W) at $64/m². This will take time and a lot of effort of course, and the company is looking for funding, partners and joint-ventures to achieve this goal. 
OLED100.eu Wins EU's ICT Best Energy Efficiency Project03/02/2010The OLED100.eu project has won the Best Energy Efficient project award in Europe's ICT (International Telecommunication Union) competition. They actually won it together with Beywatch (tools for environmental management and energy efficiency). Both project will get €10,000 (there were 39 candidates altogether). OLED100.eu have also send us a new photo of a large-area OLED panel (by Philips Research):  Large Area OLED Lighting
OLED100.eu is an integrated European research project to accelerate the development of OLED Lighting technologies. It received €12.5 million funding and focuses on five main goals:
Philips OLED MirrorWall is available in limited edition02/25/2010Remember the Philips Mirrorwall? It's a wall made out of white Lumiblade OLED panels and a camera, and it basically acts as a mirror, display shadow reflections of people standing in front of it. It turns out that Philips are actually offering this limited-edition wall. The price? about 10-12K€ per m² (they'll made it just for you). That's one expensive mirror... But what a spectacular one! If you want a cheaper option, you can also rent the whole thing for about 10K€ per week (excl. transport, insurance and approx. 3 man-days for installation and dismantling). I'm not sure how large the rented wall will be (in the video it seems rather big). Osram: we see a high interest in the ORBEOS OLED Lighting panels02/23/2010We've just got word from OSRAM, and it seems that they are happy with the ORBEOS OLED Lighting so far. Here's the official quote: "we have seen a very successfull start of our ORBEOS panel in November and we still see a high interest in this product".  OSRAM ORBEUS OLED Lighting panel
OSRAM Opto Semiconductors has released the ORBEOS back in November 2009. The panel has a round surface (88mm diameter), is only 2.1mm thick and weights 24g. The efficiency is 25lm/W. The panels are actually available now via OSRAM's site. ModisTech to commercialize cheap flexible OLEDs for indirect lighting in 201002/19/2010Korea's Modistech is working on flexible OLED Lighting for indirect applications for quite some time, and are now planning to commercialize the technology in 2010. They will produce 150x150mm flexible OLED panels. Back in 2009, Modistech said they plan to do so in 2011, so apparently they are ahead of schedule. 
Modistech's slogan for the displays is 'paper-like, fabric-like and film-like'. They say that they will change the paradigm of lighting from 'to install' to 'to attach'. They want to use OLEDs as indirect lighting which does not require high luminance, and is suitable for the flexible OLEDs. It can be used in furniture, kitchenware, airplanes and especially automobiles (make up light, glove box light, foot light and trunk light). Modistech say that their technology minimizes the number of substrate processes and is using roll-to-roll deposition and self-developed encapsulation material. They claim that they reduce the manufacturing cost by up to 90%!. Via FocusOn |
