Panasonic developed the world’s most efficient white OLED at 128 lm/W
Sep 11th
Panasonic Electric Works announced that they developed a new highly efficient OLED device – featuring 128 lm/W efficiency. This was achieved using a semi-spherical highly-refractive lens to enhance light extraction. The OLED panel is small – only 2×2 mm, and according to Panasonic this is the world’s most efficient white OLED. PEW says that in order to achieve this high efficiency, they inserted a light extraction layer composed of a highly-refractive material between the emissive layer (EML) and the glass substrate. The back side uses a high-reflectivity metal material. Detailed calculations were performed to minimize the internal reflection – this doubled the light extraction efficiency to 40%. This panel uses all-phosphorescent materials, and PEW says that this technique is actually similar to the technique used by Universal Display when they developed the 102 lm/W device back in 2008 . read more

Sony BVM-F250/F170
Sep 11th
Sony’s BVM-F250 and F170 TriMaster EL are professional Full-HD OLED monitors sized 24.5″ and 16.5″. The monitors offer hyper-accurate color reproduction and ‘perfect’ image quality without motion blur due to the OLED’s fast response time. The display support HDMI, DisplayPort, 3G-SDI, SD-SDI and HD-SDI. The BVM-F series will launch in November 2011 in Japan. The 24.5″ will cost 1.5 million yen (about $20,000) and the 16.5″ will cost 945,000 yen (about $12,000). We’re not sure whether these will replace the BVM-E270/E170 range , as the F series is a bit cheaper than the E series… OLED type: 16.5″/24.5″ OLED monitors read more

New OLEDs summit in Beijing (January 2012)
Sep 9th
Demand-LED is hosting a new international OLED summit in Beijing China (the China Internatioanl OLEDs Summit 2012 ) – in January 2012. The conference will include speakers from OLEDs manufacturing companies, end-users, organic material suppliers and professional organizations. The organizers say that this conference “reflects the Chinese government’s OLED policies, especially on display and lighting, in the coming years, and will enable a thorough understanding of the Chinese market and the latest research achievements”. read more
Haier shows a 22" transparent OLED panel?
Sep 3rd
We just found this video on YouTube, showing Haier’s LET-22TC – a 22″ transparent “Organic” TV (yeah, that’s how Haier calls it): But this is rather strange, really. That panels has the same specifications (size and resolution) as Samsung’s 22″ transparent LCD panel – with its WSXGA+ resolution (1680×1050) . And it’s the first time we hear of any Haier OLED product, and they’re already producing the largest transparent OLED we ever saw? ( Samsung’s largest one was 19 “). read more

New video showing Verbatim’s Velve OLED lighting panels
Sep 1st
Verbatim produced a nice video showing the Velve OLED lighting panels: The Velve OLED lighting panels are made together by Mitsubishi and Pioneer , and are the world’s first color-tunable OLED lighting panels. The panels are 14x14cm in size and offer 28lm/W efficiency and 8,000 hours of lifetime. The typical CRI is 80.

Philips’ Lumiblade Living Shapes: the 2nd generation "OLED wall"
Aug 31st
In 2010 Philips showed a beautiful OLED installation called The OLED Wall , made from lot’s of small lumiblade OLED panels, which featured a mirror-like visualization using a camera. Today Philips unveiled the 2nd generation wall, called Lumiblade Living Shapes – which also offers a mirror-like feature, and can also display text information. The new Living Shapes is made from modular OLED units – each has 16 OLED panels (4×4), and each OLED panel is a 5×5.5 cm in size. The company is showing one version (shown above) that features 72 modules (1,152 OLED tiles in total) – they say it’s the world’s largest OLED lighting product (but it’s not the largest OLED product – Mitsubishi’s 6-meter OLED GeoGlobe has 10,362 PMOLED displays! ). read more

Panasonic announces OLED lighting roadmap, to start selling panels tomorrow
Aug 31st
Panasonic Electric Works (PEW) released some very interesting news today regarding their OLED Lighting project. First of all, they announced that ; Panasonic Idemitsu OLED Lighting (PIOL), their joint-venture with Idemitsu Kosan will start shipping OLED lighting panels tomorrow (September 1st) – to local and international markets. Those rather small (80x80mm), thin (2mm) and light (38g) OLED panels will feature no less than Ra90 color rendering (they say it’s the world’s highest) and 3,000 cd/m 2 – the world’s brightens panels. The efficiency is 30 lm/W and lifetime (D70) is 10,000. The temperature is 3,000K (like a regular light bulb). PEW itself will start offering OLED lighting modules in December 2011 – which will include the OLED panel, a frame and a built-in control circuit. PEW says that these modules will be “easy-to-embed” and will have a narrow frame design (11mm maximum width). You will also be able to replace the OLED panel in the modules in a simple way. read more

UDC signs a license agreement with Panasonic Idemitsu OLED Lighting
Aug 30th
Universal Display signed a technology license agreement with Panasonic Idemitsu OLED Lighting (PIOL). PIOL will use UDC’s OLED materials and technologies in its lighting products, and will pay running royalties on its sales (some of it prepaid) and may also purchase OLED materials. The agreement runs through July 2014. PEW OLED Lighting panels Panasonic Idemitsu OLED Lighting was established by Panasonic Electric Works (PEW) and Idemitsu Kosan in March 2011, with the aim of developing, manufacturing and marketing OLED lighting panels. The company combines PEW’s design and manufacturing technologies with Idemitsu OLED materials. PEW was already using UDC’s materials , and it’s interesting to hear that the joint-venture will now use UDC materials as well and not just Idemitsu’ materials. This validates the claim that efficient OLED lighting (above 40 lm/W or so) requires phosphorescent materials.

LG Display plans to cut 2012 investment, "no new factories"
Aug 29th
LG Display announced that it will cut 2012 investment by at least 25% compared to 2011, as they see a depressed demand for computers and TVs. Total investment in 2012 will be around $2.8 billion (3 trillion Won) – and LG Display will not build any new factories. LG OLED TV prototype It’s not clear whether the company will keep to its plans to build a 55″ OLED TV pilot plant in 2012 and a $2.8 billion mass production plant in 2014 . read more
