KM, GE Closer to Developing High-Efficient OLED Lighting Devices

Scientists from Konica Minolta (KM) and GE Lighting (GE) have made a significant breakthrough, which may lead to the development of high-efficient OLED (organic light-emitting diode) lighting systems in the future. The scientists showed that high-efficient white OLEDs can be produced cost-effectively by utilizing the solution-coating materials.

According to GE's leader, Anil Duggal, the company has developed high-performance and durable OLED lighting systems by utilizing the solution coating process instead of the standard vacuum-based coating technique normally used by OLED manufacturing companies. The new technique enables the company to utilize the roll-to-roll processes used in the printing industry. Both KM and GE are planning to develop OLEDs by using the roll-to-roll technique. The roll-to-roll process is vital to develop commercially-viable OLEDs for common lighting applications.

KM and GE will launch the first OLED lighting device in 2011.
