Conference Program - LOPE-C 2011

SHORT COURSES | TUESDAY-JUNE 28, 2011
Lighting (04:00 pm - 05:30 pm) | LOCATION FANTASIE 2 / LEVEL C3
04:00 pm OLEDs from a lighting point of view
Dr Volker van Elsbergen,
Philips Technologie GmbH, Principal Scientist, Germany
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are a new and attractive class of solid-state light sources and they are emerging as a compelling candidate to replace conventional
lighting systems. OLEDs provide potential for power-efficient large area light sources which will substantially contribute to energy efficient lighting. In addition, they combine
revolutionary properties. They are thin and flat, and can be transparent, color-tunable, and flexible, enabling light sources with an unprecedented grade of flexibility in terms
of design and application. This short course will cover all relevant topics of OLEDs for lighting. Thus, this course is aimed at newcomers in the OLED field as well as experts
from other organic electronics areas and even OLED experts might find some interesting aspects of OLED lighting. The following topics will be addressed:
- The basics of OLEDs
- Lighting requirements
- White OLEDs
- Today%27s OLED lighting products
- The future of OLED lighting - color-tunable, transparent, flexible
- Interdisciplinary co-operation: Funded research projects
