AUO's Lextar to release OLED lighting modules

AUO's LED maker subsidiary Lextar announced it will show new portable OLED lighting panels. The panels will be powered from built-in Lithium-ion batteries and has a magnet on the pack so it can attach to metallic objects. The panels are 3.7 mm thick and include a 3-section dimmer.

Lextar will also show a concept "OLED Wall Brick" built from red, blue and yellow OLED modules that can change color depending on one’s mood and location.

 

AUO first announced its entry into the OLED lighting market in November 2010, but we haven't heard any news since. Back then AUO showed a large (24.5x29.5 cm) panel that featured 50 lm/W efficiency. AUO's OLED prototype was made from both phosphorescent and fluorescent materials.
