Pioneer announced that they began to mass produce OLED lighting modules made
with a "wet coating system". The production technology was
co-developed by Pioneer and Mitsubishi
Chemical. The panels will be distributed by MC Pioneer
OLED Lighting Corporation.
The two companies currently produce a single module that is
92.4 x 92.4 mm in size (active area 76x76 mm) and 4.3 mm thick. It weighs 42
grams. The color temperature is 2870K and the maximum luminance is 3,000 cd/m2.
They did not reveal the efficiency and lifetime of this OLED.
The two Japanese companies estimated that the new process
will reduce the cost of the OLED panel by 90% compared to the current
production method, and will also increase the lifetime. In 2013 the companies showed
a printed panel that feature a lifetime of 30,000 hours (LT70) @ 2,000 cd/m2
luminance. It`s likely that the new panels will have better performance.
