Flexible, started to be used in the OLED lighting market

/0 코멘트/카테고리: /작성자:

The trend toward flexible design is on the rise in the OLED lighting market, too.

At Light + Building 2018, not only LG Display but also OLEDWorks and Sumitomo Chemical exhibited flexible OLED lightings, highlighting their differentiations from LED lightings.

In particular, OLEDWorks and Sumitomo Chemical attracted a lot of attention from the audience by introducing their flexible OLED panels respectively.

OLED Works released a flexible OLED panel “Brite 3 FL300C” with thin glass. The specifications are 10,000 hours (life time) and 57 lm/W @ 8,300 cd/m2 or 50,000 hours and 63 lm/W @ 3,000 cd / m2.

Sumitomo Chemical’s flexible OLED panel was fabricated through solution process on a PI substrate, with the life time of about 20,000 hours and 50 lm/W @ 1,500 cd/m2 and is.

The two flexible OLED lighting panels introduced by the two companies, which are prototypes, are similar to the performance of LG Display’s flexible lighting OLED panel, which is currently in production, with 55 lm/W and life time of 30,000 hours. When these two companies start mass production of flexible OLEDs, it is expected to make a big change in the market of flexible OLED lighting panels.

Meanwhile, LG Display, the leader in the OLED lighting market, launched the OLED lighting brand “Luflex” last December. At Light + Building 2018, LG Display exhibited various designs of lightings that can be implemented with flexible OLED lighting panels, which attracted the biggest attention of the fair attendants. Six award-winning products of the LG OLED Design Competition 2017 were exhibited, and there were many comments that the lightings are distinguished from LED lightings by maximizing the advantages of flexible OLED lighting.

OLED lighting 시장에서도 flexible 디자인으로의 추세가 본격화 되고 있다.

Light+Building 2018에서는 LG Display 뿐만 아니라 OLEDWorks와 Sumitomo Chemical에서도 flexible OLED lighting을 전시하며 LED 조명들과의 차별화를 부각시켰다.

특히 OLEDWorks와 Sumitomo Chemical은 flexible OLED panel을 최초로 공개해서 관람객들의 큰 이목을 끌었다.

OLED Works는 thin glass를 적용한 flexible OLED panel “Brite 3 FL300C”를 공개했다. 스펙은 1만시간과 57 lm/W@8,300 cd/m2 또는 5만시간과 63 lm/W@3,000 cd/m2 이다.

Sumitomo Chemical에서 공개한 flexible OLED panel은 PI 기판을 이용하고 solution process로 제작되었으며, 효율은 50 lm/W@1,500 cd/m2 수명은 약 2만시간 수준이다.

두 업체에서 공개한 flexible OLED lighting panel은 프로토타입으로 현재 양산을 진행중인 LG Display의 flexible lighting OLED panel의 성능인 55 lm/W, 3만시간과 비슷한 수준이다. 이 두 업체에서 flexible OLED 양산을 시작하게 된다면 flexible OLED lighting panel 시장에 큰 변화를 일으킬 것으로 기대된다.

한편 OLED lighting 시장에서 선두를 달리고 있는 LG Display는 지난해 12월 OLED lighting 브랜드인 “Luflex”를 런칭한 이 후 첫 전시회인 Light+Building 2018에서 flexible OLED lighting으로 구현할 수 있는 다양한 디자인의 조명을 전시하여 관람객 들의 큰 이목을 끌었다. LG OLED Design Competition 2017의 수상작 6종류가 전시되었으며 flexible OLED lighting의 장점을 극대화 한 디자인으로 LED 조명과의 차별화가 돋보였다는 평들이 주를 이루었다.

[Light+Building 2016]LG Display to Showcase Cutting-edge OLED Light Products and Solutions

LG Display announced today that it is showcasing its latest advanced OLED light products and solutions at Light+Building 2016, one of the leading global trade fairs for lighting and building services technology, in Frankfurt, Germany, from March 13th to 18th.

Eleven OLED light panels are being exhibited along with four solutions using the panels. LG Display is highlighting the key advantages of OLED light, including the design flexibility that makes it suitable for different applications and venues, as well as its supreme light quality which is closest to natural light, thereby making people feel comfortable and reducing eye fatigue.

The company is exhibiting four solutions using OLED light panels:

Flexible Solution Section

The flexible OLEDs can be used to create unique and creative decorative lighting fixtures. The creativity in design increases along with the length of the panels. The flexible OLED light panels are light-weight and unshatterable. There are applications using 200x50mm flexible panels and 406x50mm flexible panels. The main highlight in this section is an application using many 320x320mm flexible panels.

Transparent Connection Solution Section

The LG Display OLED light panel generates a floating light effect by attaching the panel to glass and providing power through metal mesh transparent conductive film. It can be applied to display cabinets, shelves, and furniture. Especially when it is applied to shelves at stores, the lack of heat preserves product quality while the lack of shadow makes them more visually appealing to customers. The simplicity of OLEDs opens up the possibilities of various designs and applications.

Mirror Solution Section

By embedding the OLEDs into mirrors, LG Display has created a solution that can have a variety of uses. It can be used as a mirror in upscale hospitality settings or as a unique display box in high-end retail stores. When other light sources are used in a mirror solution, they tend to make the mirror too thick whereas OLED keeps the mirror thin and also minimizes glare.

Module Solution Section

OLED light panels allow for easy installation in diverse settings. LG Display is introducing super-slim OLED light modules at the fair with a simple aluminum housing that connects multiple panels into each module, generating unique and sleek designs. The company is showcasing the module solutions in order to demonstrate how well OLED light can be applied to interior design and architecture. It is committed to develop other solutions in order to encourage more and more people to easily use OLED lights.
