OLED lighting panels

11 May 2011 Opto-Electronics

OSRAM Opto Semiconductors has released two new lighting panels based on OLED (organic light emitting diode) technology. The Orbeos panels are mirrored and warm white; one is rectangular, the other one round.

The panels are 1,8 millimetres thin and thus particularly well suited for use as embedded lights in furniture, designer luminaires and mirrors. Embedded light is used to describe an OLED panel that is, for example, integrated into a mirror in such a way that, when switched off, it is impossible to detect the transition between OLED panel and mirror. The light – dimmable from 0 to 1700 candela per square metre – is warm white, independent of the angle from which the panels are viewed.

The rectangular panel has a light-emitting surface of 132 x 48 millimetres and contains no visible strip conductors, thus creating a seamless mirrored surface with a colour rendering index of 85. The round variant is the mirrored version of the first ever Orbeos panel. Both new products can also be switched on or off without time lag.
