OLED Lighting Has Bright Future Prospects

By Kenya England


Each day, there are impressive advances in the fields of technology and science which bring about the introduction of innovative new products. The intention is to find ways of making life easier and more efficient in so many ways. One such concept is OLED lighting which, though still in the early stages, shows great promise of all the beneficial applications it could offer in the future.

This type of product is not yet widely available mostly due to the fact that it is still a bit too pricey for the average household. The cost should become much more affordable one more companies are able to mass produce this technology more efficiently. Already surpassing incandescent and halogen lamps, this new light source has so many great advantages to offer.

Organic Light Emitting Diodes is new take on an old technology that conducts electricity through several very thin layers of natural materials. The products are panels of thin glass or transparent film that have a versatility which allows them to be placed almost anywhere. Because of their extreme slimness and the ability to be built on bendable plastic sheets, there is a high potential for more flexible designs in the future.

Quality and performance are both impressive in products made using this concept. The light is projected through a flat surface so that the illumination is the uniform throughout the whole area, basically creating a glowing panel without spots of intense brightness. This dispersion creates very little glare and practically no shadowed zones.

With a source of light that burns dimmer than those used in LED fixtures, the resulting glow is softer and creates a more pleasing ambiance that is not only comfortable to be in, but also flattering to the people, furnishing and other items within its space. This level of illumination very closely resembles natural sunlight yet one is able to look directly at it. Colors appear truer and everything within the space is better seen.

Though a limited number of designs have been released for retail sale, they are first generation and are still just a little more expensive than other types. Being in the early stages of development, manufacturers are seeking to decrease production costs and make the products available for widespread distribution. Resolving this problem will allow the technology to be applied in so many versatile ways.

This technology requires very little energy to generate a steady glow and it contains no harmful components such as mercury. This makes it a clean source of illumination that is gentle on the environment. The lifespan on product of this type is still in the mid range, lasting longer than fluorescent bulbs but falling just behind standard LED in endurance.

The marketplace of today has no shortage of illumination sources available for use. There are a great many benefits to choosing the option of using products powered by diodes of an organic nature. The science and technology are sound and being used in designs that are receiving regular updates and improvements that increase the practicality of general usage and the prospects for specialty needs.
