OLED Lighting Illuminates A Bright Future

By Kenya England


With all the modern advancements in science and technology, new and innovative options are becoming available every day. These products are designed to make life easier and more efficient in a variety of ways. Such is the case with OLED lighting which, though it is still in its infancy, shows great promise for the future and the benefits it could produce.

This type of product is not yet widely available mostly due to the fact that it is still a bit too pricey for the average household. The cost should become much more affordable one more companies are able to mass produce this technology more efficiently. Already surpassing incandescent and halogen lamps, this new light source has so many great advantages to offer.

Taking an old technology and boosting it up a notch, Organic Light Emitting Diodes are created using multiple extremely thin layers of natural substances as the source of conductivity. They could be placed virtually anywhere since they can be produced on slim panes of glass or on transparent film. The amazing thinness of the final product when constructed on plastic sheets that are capable of bending provides the potential for future designs utilizing that flexibility.

Quality and performance are both impressive in products made using this concept. The light is projected through a flat surface so that the illumination is the uniform throughout the whole area, basically creating a glowing panel without spots of intense brightness. This dispersion creates very little glare and practically no shadowed zones.

By using a dimmer light source than LED technology does, a softer glow is produced to generate a most comforting ambiance that is flattering to everyone and everything within its shine. Despite the fact that it has the closest resemblance to actual sunlight of any other source, this illumination can be looked upon directly. Things are seen more clearly and colors appear truer.

The first generation of mainstream products using this technology have been sent to retail stores, however, their designs are both limited and slightly pricey compared to other options. It is still in the early developmental stages and manufacturers are working to increase the cost effectiveness of production so the distribution may be expanded. The resolution of this issue will open up so many potential applications in which these items could be utilized.

This technology requires very little energy to generate a steady glow and it contains no harmful components such as mercury. This makes it a clean source of illumination that is gentle on the environment. The lifespan on product of this type is still in the mid range, lasting longer than fluorescent bulbs but falling just behind standard LED in endurance.

Today's market has a great many available illumination source options. Diodes that are organically based are one type of light emission technology that have a bevy of benefits to their utilization. This is sound science that is being used in an ever updating array of designs that can be made for general practical use as well as specialized purposes.
