OLED beachhead lighting market

Organic light emitting diode (OLED) color temperature adjustable wide range of 2500 ~ 8000K, with energy saving, no mercury and low voltage driving safety concerns without overheating. Compared with the traditional light source, will be able to develop higher value-added home lighting. With the progress of the national patent technology layout, as well as the use of higher generation process production, Oled lighting market is rapidly expanding.

Zhou Zhuohui, Professor of materials at National Tsinghua University, pointed out that, OLED lighting has many advantages over the traditional light source, so the future is expected to extend more applications.

Lighting market with adjustable color temperature has great potential. The material Department of National Tsinghua University professor Zhou Zhuohui said that the current OLED lighting is only at any point in time to the deployment of a light source color temperature of sunrise and sunset; as for the incandescent lamp can be realized as 2700K has the lowest temperature to the lowest limit, cannot again cut its color.

The European Commission sponsored "applied to information communication technology and lighting equipment of high brightness organic light emitting diode" project (OLLA) Joint Research Institute data show that in the indoor brightness per square meter 300 Candela (CD), 3000K and 4000K have the highest temperature of the terminal market acceptance; in contrast, appear Yin white 6500K the color temperature of the lowest market evaluation. Zhou Zhuohui believes that end users are more interested in 2500K color temperature, which also represents OLED lighting will be the trend of home lighting.

Because the OLED light source with surface light source, wide viewing angle, flexible, lightweight, energy saving and other advantages, North America, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and Germany vendors have invested heavily in R & D, including the number of North American OLED lighting patent has been beginning in 2002 beyond LED. The Japanese and American manufacturers entered the OLED field earlier, the number of businesses in the factory, the patent technology has been dispersed in different manufacturers in Germany and South Korea; to the industry's patent technology concentration is high, the proportion of the top five patent technology patent has nearly 90%. Although the OLED has yet to be overcome and the problem of the high price of life is low, but Zhou Zhuohui expected in OSRAM Opto Semiconductors (OSRAMOptoSemiconductors), PHILPS (Philips), GE, Lumiotec, KonicaMinolta and other manufacturers continue to break the bottleneck of OLED technology, will help accelerate the OLED lighting production and commercialization of the campaign reached the target.

According to the American market research agency imaging information management consultants (DisplaySearch) estimates, OLED lighting market will take off in 2011, to 2013 ~ 2014 market size will exceed the passive matrix OLED display (PM), reached the $6 billion mark in 2018.
