Philips unveils first mains-powered white-light OLED module
Publication date: 8 September 2010
Scientists at Philips Research have developed what they say is the first organic light emitting diode (OLED) module that
can be powered directly from the AC mains. The prototype opens the door to OLED systems that can be directly plugged
into standard power outlets without the need for bulky power management circuitry. This will simplify luminaire designs
for future OLED-based systems for mass-market general illumination applications.
Like LEDs, OLEDs are solid-state lighting devices that are extremely efficient light emitters, thus helping to reduce
the financial and environmental cost of lighting. While normal LEDs provide very high brightness in a compact package,
OLEDs emit light over an extended area. The illumination they produce is calm, diffuse and non-glaring. The thin, flat
nature of OLEDs makes it possible to produce light sources in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.
Moreover, OLEDs are fully dimmable and can produce many different colours as well as whites, including the kind of white
light people are accustomed to from traditional light sources. This makes them an extremely attractive option for
general illumination.
