Tara Lighting's Thorn Lighting Company is leading a research and development project to develop new
OLED materials and equipment to provide large-area lighting applications to replace fluorescent lamps. “We look forward to developing high-quality light sources like sunlight,†said project leader Dr. Geoff Williams.
OLED panels are one of two technologies that are expected to replace ordinary fluorescent lamps, as well as other bulbs, and the other is an electroluminescent body using an AC power source.
Participants in the project are Durham University and Cambridge Display Technology (CDT), which received £1.6 million from the UK Trade and Industry Department. The total start-up capital is up to 3.3 million pounds.
“This university is at the heart of polymer energy grading,†says Williams. “We will be able to review the refactoring process to get feedback on helping development.â€
Under the agreement, CDT will provide OLED polymer materials, equipment assembly and testing, as well as modeling and other technical support.
“Light-emitting polymer materials will be process solutions that provide potentially low-cost processing for large panels,†said CDT.
The project will initially be kept away from plastic materials because they are not waterproof. “The original product will use a solid matrix. The gate layer (on the plastic substrate) has not reached the level of oxygen and moisture isolation.†Williams, he did not explain the type of solid matrix in detail.
Performance metrics including color rendering will exceed existing fluorescent lamps. "The peaks and faults will appear in the spectrum, but the faults won't be very good," Williams said.
Another goal is that after three years of development, it will be able to produce 1,000 cd/m2 of illuminants and reduce the brightness to 50% after 20,000 hours, Williams said. He added: "According to my experience, the brightness may be 80%."
Electrical efficiency will be similar to fluorescent lamps. "The goal in five years is to reach 50 lumens / watt," Williams said. “The ultimate goal is 150-200 lumens per watt. We will reach this level between 2015 and 2016. By 2020, OLED will be the preferred source of illumination.â€
Automotive Wire
Made is Jiangsu, China, we produce a wide range of automotive wires with the applications of LED, instrument, ignition system, ESP & ABS, seat heating and window control that meet UL, VDE, JASO standard, also OEM specifications. Our PVC insulation is tough enough to resist grease, oil, and acid according to ISO6722, and has a temperature rating of 176°F (80°C). If you need a higher temperature and performance wire, use cross-linked wire instead. Each bare copper wire core is composed of pure copper with high conductivity, flexibility, and durability. Packing is available in small bundles, and larger spools.
