The world's first need to burn hydrocarbons "quasi candle" OLED light source

Organic light emitting diode (OLED) is regarded as the next generation of lighting technology, material Department of Tsinghua University professor Zhou Zhuohui laboratory research team published "quasi candle OLED light source first global without burning hydrocarbon", and combined with the upstream ITRI, materials and equipment factory, is committed to promoting the quasi candle product listing.

After Samsung, AUO, Innolux panel double tiger are also actively developing active organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) applied in the display on the panel. In addition, there are companies to invest in OLED lighting R & D, with PHILPS, OSRAM and other well-known lighting brands together into the lighting market.

Zhou Zhuohui said that at present has mastered 10 key technologies, applications and patents. Another laboratory has accumulated more than 40 patents related to OLED, foreign patent agents and well-known domestic manufacturers, and actively contact with the purchase of patents.

Compared to the market mature LED technology, said Zhou Zhuohui, the former has more power, but as a point light source, light, glare, is not suitable for application in the city lighting; OLED plane light, does not produce heat and soft. OLED is not only used in the display, but also can be used as lighting source, OLED cold light characteristics, but also to solve the problem of heat dissipation LED lighting.

He said, do not choose white OLED, but out of the OLED niche market, to find out the two killer applications, including high performance color lighting, ultra low color temperature physiological friendly lighting. He said that the proposed candle OLED light source, is the first of the human use of electricity and do not have to burn the candle light source, has been recognized by the international famous journals and published.

Humans use candles has been 5000 years of history, except for the light, light is to affect the human body to produce melatonin secretion of the smallest light source is the most friendly to human physiology, but has the convenience of candles. OLED will not be a candle, no smoke, no fire, the use of candles is more convenient, more energy-efficient, and create a romantic atmosphere, if the future can be mass production, will be able to replace candles.

The Institute said that production tool to develop OLED related evaporation equipment, estimated to enter the testing phase before the end of 2013.
