Printing advances make bright future for
OLEDs
OLEDs have advantages over other lighting technologies because they combine high brightness with an ability to be fabricated on a thin, flexible display.
Lighting based on organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) could benefit from printing as a manufacturing technique because it can add to its cost effectiveness, according to a new report from NanoMarkets OLEDs have advantages over other lighting technologies because they combine high brightness with an ability to be fabricated on a thin, flexible display

Workshop gives complete picture on CE.NET 5.0
A UK-based workshop will give embedded software development engineers hands-on experience in running the new 5.0 release of Windows CE.NET on next generation processors.
These are properties that open up opportunities for OLED lighting in architectural lighting, vehicular lighting and other areas says NanoMarkets.
With the improvements in functional printing and the arrival of small molecules inks, it is likely that a higher proportion of OLEDs will be printed because of greater cost effectiveness, states the report.
NanoMarkets projects that OLED and other printed lighting markets could possibly reach almost US $2.5 billion in the next seven years.
As new opportunities rapidly emerge in energy efficient solid-state lighting, new manufacturing approaches are also assuming more importance and these include printing.
Electroluminescent (EL) lighting has been printed for years, but this report goes beyond EL and includes discussions of other forms of printed lighting, including systems based on carbon nanotube emissions and especially on OLEDs.
The report: "Printable electronics market outlook: printed lighting", reviews the market potential for all of the main applications for printed lighting from simple backlighting applications to sophisticated architectural lighting.
It also provides data on the performance criteria for printed lighting and profiles some of the leading firms and government projects exploring printed lighting technology, discusses recent events in this field.
Finally, it provides an eight-year market forecast of the revenues that NanoMarkets expects from printed lighting with break outs by both technology and applications segment. Request free introductory details about products from NanoMarkets ...
