OLEDsA new perception of lightRather than a beam emerging from a single light-emittingpoint, light coming from the larger surface provides pleasant,uniform illumination.The OLED produces a soft light, casting no shadows, no glare andcool to the touch: It is about pureness and subtle beauty.All actions of staging the light between instant on and smoothdimming are possible.New approach to handle lighting:Do not hide the light source anymore!2OLEDWorks LLC

VisionIn 10 years there will be only Solid StateLighting; shared between LED and OLEDApplications favoring OLED:Close to the userLow glare, low temperature, broadspectrum – e.g. office aboveUnique form factors of OLED:Thin and light weight – for exampletransportationSpecial design elements – for examplecurved lights3OLEDWorks LLC DOE GatewayDOE Gateway

LED vs OLED Cost ComparisonOLED light panels can be at higher prices ( /klm)and still have fixture cost-parity, due to simplerfixture designs for lower costs.No optics, no heat management, simpler mechanicaldesigns.Higher brightness OLED panels are importantLED fixtures cover wide quality rangeOLED can compete now at the high end.Unique form factor of OLEDs can give a designadvantage that is difficult for LED to match.Visa Lighting’s Petal and Limit luminaires14OLEDWorks LLC

Motivation for Curved andBendable OLED LightingAcuity BrandsOLED lighting is currently higher priced than LED, and needs to achievehigher sales volumes to significantly reduce costs.Unique selling points – OLED lighting can be bendable, flexible, thinner,lighter than LED – allowing more creative designs.Roll-to-Roll – the final challenge – can result in further cost-down inmass manufacturing.25OLEDWorks LLC

Selection of Substrate: Glass vs Barrier-Coated PlasticGlass AdvantagesExcellent barrier propertiesLower cost than barrier-coated plasticAvailable now in wide rollsHigh transparencyHigh temperature processing capabilityGlass DisadvantagesDefects on surfaces and edges limit maximum stress and radius of curvatureBending/twisting in 2D results in breakageIn processing - e.g. in deposition/encapsulation equipment.In handling of finished product.OLEDWorks and Corning have a Joint Development project for OLED lightingon Willow glass.26OLEDWorks LLC

OLED Processing CostsR2R Needed for Ultimate Low-Cost ProductionAs volumes increase, OLED lighting industry will have cost reduction due toeconomies of scale over today’s manufacturing machinesMajor cost-down advantages will occur when we get to G5 Sheet-to-sheet machinesLG machine will be in production in Asia in 2017-18North America or Europe in 201x?For further cost down – mass production using R2R processing requiredThis make more sense then going to G8 – diverging from the display model.Now is the time to start working on the developing and commercializing the technologies that willbe required to make this happen.34OLEDWorks LLC

Two Critical Areas Require Development forSuccessful R2R OLED Lighting Manufacturing1. Substrate Web Handling and TransportSubstrate must roll up without particles and damageWithin the machine, all moving contact points generates particlesWorst problems are in areas where deposition occurs2. Masking for Vacuum Thermal Evaporation Deposition is used to:Prevent OLED organic from depositing the seal area and cathode contact areaPrevent the cathode from depositing across to the anode contact area.ProductPanelsSubstrate RollSubstratePreparation35OLED Organic andCathode DepositionOLEDWorks LLC Encapsulation, ElectricalConnections, Finishing

SummarySolid State Lighting is the future and OLED will be a significant part of it.Applications where OLED will initially grow will be:Close to the user – due to the high light quality, low glare, and low temperature.Low volume and weight.Products where design elements affect buying decisionsThe combination of thinness, lightness, and flexibility of OLED will be keydifferentiators from LED.OLEDWorks will continue to introduce products with higher performance, lowercost and unique form factors to grow the market.The commercialization of our first bendable products has started now!Key technologies are needed for low-cost R2R.LG DisplayITRIWe need to work together to develop these now.3M36OLEDWorks LLC
