Philips and Novaled created a new record for OLED

Philips and Novaled company jointly announced today the two companies in the OLED (organic light-emitting diode) technology breakthrough, the two companies together to create a new record of OLED performance, the luminous efficiency of OLED, the service life is enhanced. Philips and Novaled development of the OLED per watt lumen number reached 32, color coordinates of 0,47/0,45, color index reached 88, with an average brightness of cd/m2. The service life of the OLED is also up to 20000 hours, this figure is a major achievement in the commercialization of OLED technology, especially in terms of lighting. The luminous efficiency of these OLED is tested by using a forward emitting cone OLED, the test process does not add any lens system or other types of light sources. It is also the only reliable method for measuring effective luminous efficiency.

Philip Lighting Development Manager Dr. Dietrich OLED Bertram said: "this is an important progress of OLED technology, the progress has shown great potential with OLED technology in the field of lighting, display the progress of new technology development." Novaled's chief technology officer Dr. Jan Blochwitz-Nimoth added, "the results also show a combination of high brightness and high operating stability of OLED, paving the way for the future of OLED lighting. We are also looking forward to increasing this value to 50lm/W in the near future." Two joint research efforts of the company is another example of a successful European OLED technology cooperation. The results will be used for further development in the future, can be used in the recently launched in Europe OLLA project (high brightness organic light emitting diode, information and communication technology and lighting equipment for two), companies are also involved in the development of the project.

On OLED OLED (organic light emitting diode)

Is different from the ordinary diode, it is used in organic materials produce light on a sheet (when connected to the power supply). Compared with the LED, it is a large area of light emitting light source, light emitting more scattered, color diversity. OLED can be designed according to the needs of various forms. At present, OLED is mainly used in small display applications, such as mobile phones, MP3 players and handheld computers (PDAs), etc.. Due to the characteristics of OLED light emitting dispersion in the near future, it will be able to make our lighting more flexible and more comfortable. Through the combination of various colors and sizes, organic light-emitting diodes will be able to provide a new way to decorate and personalize the people around. The potential of OLED will be greater than that of energy-saving lamps. If OLED is in mass production, they will be widely used in lighting.
