TECHNOLOGY FEATURES

WOLEDs offer a set of new performance features simply not possible from incandescent and fluorescent lamps. While inorganic LEDs, currently under development for lighting applications, also offer attractive features, they are generally considered to be good “point source” lights while OLEDs are excellent diffuse emitters.

High power efficiency
• Enabled by Universal Display’s high-efficiency PHOLED technology
• Potential to achieve > 150 lumens per Watt
• Significant energy savings may be realized
• May help reduce the consumption of non-renewable fossil fuel and greenhouse gas emissions

Bright, uniform white color quality
• Broad spectral emission
• Color rendering index (CRI) of 80 or greater easily achievable
• Color temperatures ranging from the warm white of incandescent lamps to the cool white of fluorescent tubes and LEDs

Color tunability and dimmability
• Innovative WOLED architectures may enable custom tuning of a WOLED’s white light - allowing a room’s appearance to be changed from a cool to a warm  white as desired
• Brightness levels can also be adjustable and, unlike fluorescent lighting, become even more efficient when dimmed

Innovative form factor
• Excellent diffuse lighting sources
• Much thinner and safer form factor than those found in bulky and fragile incandescent bulbs and fluorescent tubes
• Enable a host of novel product uses
• Ultra-thin, lightweight, and conformable on plastic and other flexible substrates
• Can also be used as windows, providing sunshine during the day and lighting at night when integrated with our TOLED transparent OLED technology

Environmental friendly green technology
• Save energy helping to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and other non-renewable fuels
• Reduce impact on the environment
• Do not contain hazardous substances and pose disposal problems
