OSRAM Opto Semiconductors and celebrated lighting designer Ingo Maurer have unveiled a revolutionary lighting application based on organic LEDs (OLEDs) at the Light+Building Fair in Frankfurt am Main, Germany (April 6-11, 2008). Ingo Maurer is the first to use OLEDs from OSRAM in a functioning table light. #break# OSRAM Opto Semiconductors made prototypes of organic light emitting diodes available to the designer for his exclusive creation. “We are proud that our OLEDs have inspired such a renowned artist as Ingo Maurer to create such an exciting work of art. ‘Early Future’ is a vision that has become reality. It gives us a glimpse of just how versatile organic OLEDs can be in terms of their design options and applications,” said Martin Goetzeler, CEO of OSRAM.

OSRAM achieves high levels of efficiency and lifetime

(via)
After only two years of development, OSRAM has achieved record values in the laboratory for organic light emitting diodes in warm white. With an efficiency of 46 lm/W the organic light emitting diodes for lighting applications (OLED Lighting) have a brightness of 1000 cd/m² and last more than 5000 hours. For the first time it has been possible to improve two crucial OLED characteristics simultaneously as up to now these have generally changed in inverse proportion to one another. Higher efficiency used to mean shorter life, and vice versa. #break# Dr. Karsten Heuser, Director of OLED Lighting Technology at OSRAM Opto Semiconductors is pleased with the excellent intermediate results. “Our development team has reached a real milestone for warm white OLEDs with an efficiency of 46 lm/W (CIE of 0.46/0.42 measured in the integrating sphere) and a life of more than 5000 hours. With this significant increase in efficiency and life, OLED flat light sources are approaching the values of conventional lighting solutions and are therefore becoming attractive for a wide variety of applications.”
