DisplaySearch:OLED lighting applications will start from 2011

Market research firm DisplaySearch noted that although OLED lighting application has just started, but with Philips, GE, Konica Minolta, Lumiotec, OSRAM and other international manufacturers will be in 2010-2011 years, and the introduction of new products into mass production in 2011, OLED lighting applications will appear significant progress in 2011. Expected OLED lighting sales will exceed PMOLED display turnover in 2013-2014, and in 2018 grew to $6 billion scale.

DisplaySearch said, OLED lighting can inspire the imagination of designers, because the OLED light emitting from the surface, elastic, flexible, but also can be used to image windows, mirrors. OLED lighting with light, thin, fast conversion time, good heat dissipation, low noise, environmental protection and other features, while the power efficiency of OLED in recent years there have been significant progress.

At present, the application of OLED is divided into 5 major areas, including automotive, display backlight, general lighting, medical and industrial uses, billboards and advertising, etc.. DisplaySearch believes that, although there are many applications compared to OLED monitors, OLED lighting has just started, production is still low. However, including Europe, the United States and Japan and other regions of the international giant, has invested $100 million in the development of OLED lighting technology and products.

According to the DisplaySearch survey, with Philips, GE, Konica Minolta, Lumiotec, OSRAM and other major investment OLED lighting technology and product development of international companies, since 2010 -2011 launched new products, and will enter mass production in 2011, is expected to OLED lighting applications will begin to expand from 2011. OLED lighting's turnover will also exceed OLED monitor's turnover in 2013-2014 and grow to $6 billion in 2018.

Taiwan area ITRI also predicted that due to the international companies on OLED and LED new light source application actively, part of an international lighting manufacturers more cross licensing in technical field, help OLED and LED lighting applications to speed up. OLED lighting applications in the field of professional and special, not only will be a breakthrough in 2011, the market size will grow rapidly to $1 billion 710 million, in 2020 the market size of more than $14 billion.
