Tridonic powers a new kinetic OLED luminaire
Apr 13th
Selux and design studio ART+COM unveiled a new OLED luminaire, the Manta Rhei. They call this a “kinetic luminaire” – because it integrates mechnical movement, with several individually designed choreographies: The Manta Rehi is 1.2×2.4 meters and it has 140 OLED modules. The OLED modules were provided by Tridonic , so we assume these are either Osram Orbeos panels or LG Chem ones . The design here is very nice, although I wonder how much power is wasted by the moving mechanism… read more

Novaled to show new transparent OLED based lamps
Apr 13th
Novaled announced that they will be showing new OLED luminaries at the L+B 2012 show next week. They will be showing three new luminaries: a suspension light (“Linfinity“), a wall light (“Lucentury”) and a floor light (“Trinity”). These lamps include transparent OLEDs and are made from high-end, lightweight, stable and indestructible carbon fiber. Novaled will also show the Victory lamp in a wide range of colors. Novaled also revealed a new lamp design called the PAD (named after the pad-like fingers of the red-eyed tree frog) – shown above. Here three transparent white OLED panels are used, but interestingly, when the panels are turned off, each will filter the ambient light to be in a different color (see on the right image above). The PAD was designed by Marcus Tremonto. read more

Sony’s new CEO announces a turnaround strategy, will develop and commercialize OLED TVs
Apr 12th
Sony’s new CEO, Kaz Hirai, is now in office, and he announced a new strategy that will hopefully turn around the company. The “One Sony” initiative, which includes a headcount reduction (of 10,000 employees), will cost almost a billion dollars in 2012. The company will focus on digital imaging, gaming and mobile. Sony XEL-1 Regarding Sony’s TV business, they will continue to streamline the product line and reduce costs in an attempt to return to profitability by 2014. Sony intends to “advance the development and commercialization of next-generation display technologies such as OLED and Crystal LED Display”. This isn’t news as Sony already announced they plan “major investments in OLED TVs’ back in February 2012 , but it’s good to see Sony’s OLED TVs are still on track.

Deutsche Bank installs a custom OLED chandelier with 384 Lumiblades
Apr 10th
Deutsche Bank’s Berlin office installed a huge OLED chandelier that has 384 Philips Lumiblade panels. It’s quite beautiful: The chandelier consists of 24 square frames (made from shiny chrome aluminum) that are suspended in a column around a pole of dichoric glass. Each frame holds 16 rectangular OLED panels, so in total the chandelier has 384 OLEDs (or 2.4 square meters of active area). read more

NTHU developed the world’s lowest color temperature OLED
Apr 6th
Taiwan’s National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) say they have developed the world’s lowest-color temperature OLED lighting panel. The researchers say that high color temperature lighting can lead to insomnia, biological clock disorder and even cancer according, and this new OLED can be safer. The new OLED panels will go into trial mass production soon, in collaboration with ITRI. This research follows the team 2009 research that developed OLED lighting panels that can change color temperature to match sun-light throughout the day (2300K-8200K). read more

New low-temperature curing conductive adhesive for OLEDs developed
Apr 6th
Engineered Conductive Materials is introducing a new low-temperature curing conductive adhesive DB-1541-LTC, targeted for OLED and OPV panels. ECM says that the DB-1541-LTC can be cured as low as 100°C, but has a dispensing work life greater than 48 hours (measured as a 25% increase in viscosity), while maintaining optimized rheology for dispensing and excellent damp heat resistance and conductivity stability on tin, tin-silver and silver-plated ribbons. The new adhesive features a rubber-like flexibility – good for flexible applications with high peel strength to withstand the stresses induced in reel-to-reel manufacturing processes.
