E2M introduces new OLED lighting kits based on Philips & OSRAM panels
Jun 16th
E2M Technology is introducing two OLED lighting kits based on OLED panels made by Philips and OSRAM. The first kit is called White Amethyst, and includes a 4cmx4cm Philips’ Lumiblade white square panel (like the one we reviewed a while back ). The kit includes one OLED panel, a driver and PC software (which can alter the lights luminosity level and program lighting sequences for up to four OLEDs via USB port). The kit also includes an on-board light sensor. It costs £459. Here’s a sample art-piece that E2M is showing, using the White Amethyst kit: The second kit is called White Sapphire, and this one is based around OSRAM’s ORBEOS panel ( here’s our review of the ORBEOS ). The ORBEOS is larger (a circle, 79mm diameter) than the Philips’ square panel. The kit is otherwise pretty much the same, with the same driver and software. It costs £609. read more

Jun 10th
When Apple announced the iPhone 4 , Steve Jobs said that the IPS-LCD display (which they call a “retina display”) is better than an AMOLED.

World’s first Flexible-OLED application: a racecar rear-view mirror signage
Jun 9th
The Holst Center has developed and produced a new flexible OLED that will be used on the back-side of a racecar rear-view mirror. This the first application of a “flexible OLED on foil”, according to Holst. They have used Holst’s encapsulation technology and Araldite composite materials of Huntsman Advanced Materials. In fact the OLED itself displays the logo Araldite. The OLED is a white “signage device” – it cannot change the display, and the logo is constructed by patterned deposition of light emitting polymer. The car is the ORECA01 car from French racing team Oreca and they will will be using the mirror in the 24 hours Le Mans race (June 12-13). 12 hour of this race is in the dark, and people will be able to see the writing… read more
