Led by Philips Technologie GmbH in Germany, the OLED100.eu team has been working on OLEDs for the last three years.
The aims and objectives of the study were to boost the luminous efficacy, strengthen the lifetime, upscale the light-emitting area, optimize processes to slash production costs, and standardize measurement based on application research.
The OLED100.eu team succeeded in demonstrating high-efficiency OLEDs based on Novaled PIN OLED technology and out-coupling materials showing 60 lumens per watt (lm/W) which are more efficient than energy-saving lamps. The researchers performed perception case studies on taste and acceptance of OLEDs as light source, and they carried out industrialization scenarios and cost calculation of production processes with a particular focus on cost-efficient technologies like screen-printing for substrate structuring. And they succeeded in devising standardization of measurement procedures for OLEDs, which currently serve as the basis for work of the International Commission on Illumination (CIE).
