Ducati’s new superbike has an OLED dash
Apr 13th
Ducati announced a new superbike, the Ducati 1199 Panigale. It’s the lightest production superbike (361 lbs dry weight) and one of the most powerful (195 hp peak power). It’s got a full-LED headlight and an OLED dash: The 1199 Panigale is now available. The base model costs $17,995, the “S” model costs $22,995 and the “S” Tricolore costs $27,995. read more

AUO’s Lextar to release OLED lighting modules
Apr 13th
AUO ‘s LED maker subsidiary Lextar announced it will show new portable OLED lighting panels. The panels will be powered from built-in Lithium-ion batteries and has a magnet on the pack so it can attack to metallic objects. The panels are 3.7 mm thick and include a 3-section dimmer. AUO prototype OLED panels (2010) Lextar will also show a concept “OLED Wall Brick” built from red, blue and yellow OLED modules that can change color depending on one’s mood and location. read more

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

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.

11 arrested in Korea over AMOLED technology leak from Samsung to "local rival"
Apr 5th
The Korean police announced today that they are investigating a case of key technology leaking from Samsung Mobile Display to a local rival firm. This technology is Samsung’s Small Mask Scanning , used to produce AMOLED on large substrates. The local rival may be LG Display (Samsung’s biggest AMOLED competitor) but this is strange as they are using a completely different front plane architecture ( WOLED-CF ) in their own large panel production and this technology does not require fine patterning. 11 people were arrested in the case – former and current researchers at SMD and employees of the rival firm. The main suspect is a 46 years old former researcher at SMD who now works at the rival company. The police suspects he received 190 million Won (about $168,000) for the secret data. He is also suspect of sharing the information with a Chinese display maker. read more

Japan Display to start producing OLED panels by March 2013
Apr 3rd
Japan Display (the new small/medium display maker that merged Sony, Hitachi and Toshiba’s businesses ) announced that it plans to start mass producing OLED displays for smartphones. First panel samples are expected by March 2013. In order to have an edge over Samsung, JD aims to achieve over 300 ppi and develop panels that are more efficient than Samsung’s OLEDs. Analysts suggest that JD will try to secure Apple as a customer for their OLED panels. Back in November there were reports that JD plans to accelerate OLED mass production with a $1.3 billion investment in OLED R&D (which probably includes pilot production plants), and later on invest a further $1.4 billion towards mass production. It was suggested that JD may convert their Mobara LCD plant (bought from Panasonic) to LTPS and later to AMOLED production . read more

Samsung Display spun-off from Samsung Electronics, to merge with SMD
Apr 2nd
Samsung Display , the world’s largest display maker has been officially spun off from Samsung Electronics today. There are reports that on July Samsung Mobile Display (SMD) will be merged into Samsung Display. A 7-inch Super AMOLED prototype SD will have two display units: LCD and OLEDs, but it’s focus will be on the OLED unit. Here’s a quote from Samsung’s PR announcing the spin-off back in February , stating the importance of OLED technology: read more

On Lumiotec’s technology and manufacturing process
Mar 29th
Lumiotec released an interesting article that discusses the company’s Multi-Photon Emission (MPE) stacked device structure and how it helps to achieve high luminance and long lifetime, their light out-coupling and encapsulation technologies and the company’s mass production process. The paper also includes a discussion on the development of their next generation panel which uses phosphorescent materials provided by Universal Display Corporation to improve the efficiency . Here’s our own review of Lumiotec’s Hanger and Vanity OLED lamps , and here’s our review of the company’s first-gen OLED lighting panel . Here are a couple of videos showing Lumiotec’s panels and lamps: read more
