eMagin, University of Rochester to Advance OLED Technology for Solid-State Lighting Solutions

eMagin has collaborated with University of Rochester to produce advanced organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) for rendering more efficient, solid-state lighting solutions.

The U.S. Department of Energy will grant $1.3 million for a three-year research program that focuses on improving the lighting output of existing OLEDs. eMagin and University of Rochester were elected to receive this award. eMagin will utilize some part of the granted money to progress its project work.

According to Andrew G. Sculley, CEO and President of eMagin, although OLEDs are providing brightest and rapid electronic displays, nearly 80% of the light is trapped within the device and thus gets wasted. Hence, their collaboration with the University will work to gradually increase the amount of light discharged from the device by utilizing nanoparticle-based plasmonic light scattering technique. Further, he added that DOE concentrates on solid-state lighting areas to provide lighting solutions that minimizes the amount of energy consumed and decreases the amount of carbon emitted into the atmosphere.

Sculley stated that this finding has the ability to increase the market for lighting solutions used in consumer, commercial, or industrial purposes. He continued that advancement in OLED technology for improving solid-state lighting solutions can lead to the production of high-efficiency microdisplays, thereby increasing company’s market in commercial, industrial, and military applications. The company is thriving to collaborate with University of Rochester to develop future OLED technology to improve lighting systems for the commercial market.
