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.
