Over the past 12 months there has been progress towards the commercialisation
of OLED lighting technology. All the major lighting companies such as Philips
Lighting, Osram, GE, Panasonic and Thorn Lighting are actively developing OLED
lighting technology that is expected to be available commercially as early as
2010.
At the forthcoming Organic
Semiconductor Conference (OSC-09), London Heathrow Marriott, UK, 29th-30th
September 2009, cintelliq is delighted to have brought together the largest
gathering of speakers who will share with delegates the latest developments.
We are exceptionally please to have plenary speakers from two of the world's
leading lighting companies who will share with delegates why OLED lighting is
an important technology for the future lighting industry. From Philips Lighting
UK, Mike Simpson, Technical Director, will give a presentation on OLEDs as a
means to enhance design choice", and we are honoured to have Takuya Komoda,
Research Director, Panasonic Electric Works who will discuss OLED trends in
the development of high CRI OLEDs with high power efficiency.
For a wider discussion on OLED lighting we have speakers from Universal Display
Corp who will talk on white PHOLED technology, Cambridge Display Technology
will present progress on white light emitting polymers, Bardsley Consulting
will provide an overview of OLED lighting developments in the USA, and asks
the question "can OLED lighting be viably manufactured in either Europe
or the USA?" The FP7 projects OLED100.eu and Fast2Light will provide recent
progress, and Thorn Lighting will look at solution-processible OLED lighting
developments and outline their next development phase "TOPDRAWER."
While lighting for general illumination has gained much attention there is
considerable interest in using OLED lighting to develop flexible phototherapy
devices. To provide delegates with an insight into what is possible we have
invited Ifor Samuel, St Andrews University, to present his work on the development
of OLED technology as a wearable light source for skin cancer treatment.
The development of international standards is a clear signal that the technology
is moving rapidly towards commercialisation. The organic electronics community
is active in the development of standards, and we are pleased to Albert van
Breeman, TNO, who will talk about the recent EU activities on progress towards
the development and adoption of standardisation in organic and large area electronics.
Craig Cruickshank, CEO cintelliq, said "Our selection of speakers on OLED
lighting technology represents the leading developers from Europe, the USA and
the Far East and we are confident that delegates will gain substantial information
and understanding of the current and future development of this exciting and
dynamic sector of organic semiconductor technology."
Now in its 7th year, OSC-09 runs from 29 - 30 September 2009 at the London
Heathrow Marriott Hotel, London, UK.
