PHILPS's first OLED table on sale in 2013

OLED (organic light emitting diode) is called the lighting technology in the future (and skin cancer treatment) has been for many years, but the major technical problems have hindered the widespread adoption of it, but this situation may be slowly changing. Last week, PHILPS, which supports the technology, announced the launch of the first commercial production of OLED lamps.

OLED is a "ultra-thin" technology, composed of several layers of organic molecules, can be issued by the current when the light. OLED saves electricity (mercury) than ordinary light bulbs or LED, it is soft, more similar to sunlight, and can be bent into a new shape. PHILPS said it was "a new form of light," which is not too far off the mark. However, companies such as PHILPS have used OLED technology to design some very promising background light devices, but the high cost and low lumen problems make it difficult to become a commercial product. PHILPS hopes this technology can benefit the desk consumers in Moorea (Moorea) is the company launched the first OLED lamp.

Moorea designer is young industrial designer Daniel Lodge (DaniEL Lorch), he designed PHILPS lamp by accident. "We will be monthly free of charge to the designers and architects to visit our OLED workshop, Daniel also participated in this activity," PHILPS's Ditmar law Thomas (Dietmar Thomas) said: "after he came to us with a clever OLED lamp design. He wanted to know if the design could really use OLED technology. "The results of the experiment were very good, so PHILPS asked lodge to redesign it in order to use its latest OLED model GL350, which is the first OLED technology to be used as a desktop lighting.

The appearance of simple and elegant Moorea lamp, between the base and the two OLED panels are connected by a spring steel, this alloy is not easy to withstand heavy load caused by plastic deformation (no matter how to bend, can always bounce back in situ). A black line can be used to adjust the position of the steel sheet (somewhat similar to that of the shutter), to the desktop, or to the interior. This line contains a power cord, so no longer need another power cord. Rocky said, green glass lamp brass lamp shape inspired by the Moorea lawyer desk in the movie can often be seen on. "I need to use at least two OLED panels to provide the right light," Lodge said. "When I put the two OLED panels together, it immediately reminded me of the kind of banker's desk lamp. "

Thomas said, Moorea will go on sale in mid 2013, but he didn't mention this lamp price.
