Universal Display Corporation, renowned for its UniversalPHOLED technology based energy-efficient displays and lighting, declared that it was recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for its remarkable solid-state lighting applications throughout 2011.
Universal Display was presented with the DOE award for the fifth time during the DOE’s annual Solid-State Lighting R&D Workshop ‘Transformations in Lighting’, held between January 31 and February 2, 2012 in Atlanta, GA.
The DOE award was given based on the company’s all-phosphorescent OLED lighting system that has over 55 lumen per Watt system efficiency in an under-cabinet use. This demonstration is a remarkable example of white OLED-based myriad lighting applications. The white OLEDs have ultra-thin form factor, They are energy-efficient and offer cool operation with glowing color emissions.
According to U.S. DOE forecasts, lighting by 2030 will entail solid-state lighting such as OLED lighting that will demonstrate 50% reduction in energy consumption or adequate electricity to furnish over 24 M homes in the U.S. The OLEDs comply with a variety of niche lighting performance standards, including the latest OLED lighting developed by Universal Display. This demonstrates OLEDs capability to accomplish the general lighting standards set by the U.S. Department of Energy. The energy-efficient OLEDs, resulting from phosphorescent OLED technology and materials, have a four-to-one power advantage over other OLED technologies. Furthermore, OLED lighting establishes and promotes a variety of new product approaches with innovative form factors, transparency and versatility.
Universal Display brings a breakthrough in display and lighting industries with its new white OLED, UniversalPHOLED, and flexible OLED technologies.
