“White OLED Outlook Brightens with Efficiency Breakthrough”

Jie Liu

July 15th (Thursday) 6:00AM – wake up
I can see the sun in the east, as always.
I can see my kids are still sleeping in their beds, as usual.
Getting in the car, driving to work……

Everything in my surrounding looks like just another typical day.

Except one thing – today GE announces “56 lumens-per-watt efficiency achievement proves that flexible, white OLED lighting devices can be made at low cost using ’solution-coatable’ materials”.  An important milestone, especially to the folks who have been working on and believe in the OLED technology for so many years!

Since my first blog on GE’s OLED program “Curtains that brighten your living room” was posted on March 22, 2006, we have received numerous inquiries and comments like “It seems impossible to achieve both high performance OLEDs and low-cost fabrication at the same time”

We hope that the announcement should be able to answer some (if not all) of your questions.

All of our team members, together with many others, do believe that the low-cost OLED technology play an important and unique role in future lighting solutions. We hope you think so too.
