The europen union project OLED100 showcase a 33×33 cm² large OLED lighting panel. With this panel the project celebrates the achievement of important advancements for OLED lighting.
The project runs since September 2008 and the researchers reached a lot of goals:

• Increase of the luminous efficacy
• Increase of the lifetime
• Up-scaling of the light-emitting area
• Reducing manufacturing cost by optimized processes
• Measurement standardization based on application research

The consortium (fifteen companies) introduce also a OLED luminaire that consists of nine of the 33x33cm² OLED tiles.

Technical data of the presented OLED-tiles:
Size: 33 × 33 cm2
Light-emitting area: 828 cm2
Driving voltage and current: 45 V / 250 mA
Luminance: 1000 cd/m2
Efficacy: 27 lm/W
Lifetime: 10,000 h (Decrease of luminance to 50%)

The most relevant results are:
High efficiency OLEDs based on Novaled PIN OLED technology and out-coupling
materials showing 60 lm/W which are more efficient than energy saving lamps
Long lifetime OLEDs with Novaled knowhow, demonstrating 100,000 hours
comparable to inorganic LED lifetime
Perception case studies on taste and acceptance of OLEDs as light source
Industrialisation scenarios and cost calculation of manufacturing processes with an
emphasis on cost-efficient technologies like screen printing for substrate structuring
Work on standardisation of measurement procedures for OLEDs, which now serve
as basis for work of the International Commission on Illumination CIE

“The OLED100.eu research consortium has played a vital part in ensuring that Europe will
play a leading role in OLED technology for lighting applications also in the future”, says Dr.
Stefan Grabowski, Senior Scientist at Philips Research Aachen and project manager of
OLED100.eu."
