Analysis of OLED lighting characteristics and industry chain

Compared with the LED lighting market, due to the inherent characteristics of OLED devices, the OLED lighting market presents a number of different industrial characteristics. With the progress of technology and product performance, and accumulated for a long time, according to the OLED lighting manufacturers involved in the report, now OLED lighting market continues to mature, small and medium-sized products have been popular in the specific market for students.

Recently, due to the rapid development of LED lighting industry, especially to greatly improve the performance of LED products and new characteristics emerge, for example, through the LED side emitting plane lighting products are also able to develop better, and the product is thin, the price is relatively low, especially with the remote phosphor technology to develop a light guide plate type LED high performance light emitting panel, does it mean that OLED lighting technology and product development opportunities it? The answer is negative, the biggest feature of OLED lighting technology and products is its high optical quality at the same time, has a great degree of freedom in the lighting design and developers, to subvert the people impression of natural lighting products to a certain extent, allowing greater lighting into people's daily life, such as mirror OLED lighting system, translucent O LED lighting fixtures, flexible can be affixed to the lighting products, etc..

Even in the field of general lighting, OLED will continue to replace the light guide LED products. Compared with the LED lighting market, due to the inherent characteristics of OLED devices, the OLED lighting market presents a number of different industrial characteristics.

With the progress of technology and product performance, and accumulated for a long time, according to the OLED lighting manufacturers involved in the report, now OLED lighting market continues to mature, small and medium-sized products have been popular in the specific market for example, manufacturers more and more production of OLED lighting panel. The industry chain constantly clear outline.

At present, the whole OLED lighting industry chain can be roughly divided into three parts. In the upstream industry chain is the supplier of materials and components, such as organic semiconductor materials, electrode materials, substrate materials, optical materials, etc..

It is worth mentioning that, in which suppliers will likely integrate electrode materials and light extraction materials and substrate together, provide a complete solution to the substrate panel manufacturers, in abroad, has glass production on this work, the glass substrate developed a set of collector and light extraction in one based on the scheme, it not only simplifies the process, but also can reduce the cost.

In the field of manufacturing, because organic semiconductor materials using OLED devices to the natural environment tolerance is relatively low, so the OLED panel manufacturing and packaging panel manufacturers will be integrated together, the total package provides good panel. This point will be very different in the LED lighting industry, LED lighting industry to a large extent, chip manufacturers and packaging plants are separate, independent processes, which will be difficult to see in the OLED lighting industry. In the downstream of the OLED lighting industry, it will be the light source and lamp manufacturer, based on the packaging of the OLED lighting panel, according to the requirements of different lighting areas, the corresponding light source and the final development of lamps.

It can be inferred that the chain of OLED lighting industry will be shorter than the LED lighting industry chain, the industry's ability to integrate some stronger.

With the light effect, life, production costs continue to improve, and the characteristics of OLED lighting panel has its own future, the situation is likely to be a common LED and OLED lighting technology, parallel development, to meet the lighting requirements of different applications.
