One of the key benefits of OLEDs is design flexibility. With its
ultrathin form factor and manufacturability on flexible substrates,
OLEDs can be made in almost any shape. OLEDs can also be transparent and
can emit light from both sides of the device. All of these features open
up a world of new design possibilities, as well as a new lighting
experience. Other advantages of OLED lighting include: easy to control,
lower operating temperatures, low drive voltage, instant “ON”, dimmable
without flicker, no glare, no noise and low UV content.
“We are pleased to be working with OSRAM, a global leader in lighting,”
said Steven V. Abramson, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Universal Display. “Efficacy and color quality are key metrics in
lighting. Universal Display’s proprietary PHOLED technology offers
superior efficiency compared to fluorescent OLED technology, which is a
critical feature for energy-efficient lighting. We are delighted to be
collaborating with OSRAM to help advance the promising future of OLED
lighting into the automotive, residential and commercial markets.”
