Our LED lighting product families offer exactly that

The official roadmap of OE-A (Organic and Printed Electronics Association) sees the current uses of OLED lighting primarily in the high-end segments of exclusively designed luminaries as a market entry strategy. Over the next five years according to OE-A, OLED light tiles and large-area architectural lighting panels will further develop to enter the building material and industrial markets. From 2018 onwards OE-A expects low-priced standard led high bay light fixtures to be available in various configurations and specifications as a universal illumination technology.

“The first solid-state lighting products are reaching the market," says Andy Hannah, CEO of Plextronics, a U.S. vendor leading the industry in providing key materials technology, such as functional inks used as efficiency increasing hole injection layers, for the mass printing of OLEDs. "That is clearly an indication of imminent widespread commercialization. Serving this enormous market will require large-scale production, which is only attainable through solution processing. Our new materials will enable our customers to manufacture high-quality lighting devices at the lowest cost."

Osram, through its LED subsidiary Osram Opto Semiconductors will be the first large European lamp manufacturer to invest more than Euro 50 m in an OLED pilot manufacturing line in Regensburg, Germany, and further development of commercial LED Linear high bay light. Already in 2008, Osram showed their first designer-style OLED luminaires. "For mass market applications," says Karsten Heuser, General Manager OLED at Osram, "light designers, besides a fascinating technology, need reliability and stable specifications. Our LED lighting product families offer exactly that." Last month, Osram introduced two new OLED lighting panels, one round, the other square, mirrored or transparent, resp., in the off-state. With these panels, OLED designers will gain further creative dimensions to realize the light of the future.
