Illuminating the OLED Lighting Roadmap

By Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman, IDTechEx

Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) have more market potential than any other form of potentially printed electronics. This is because they are proving useful for both electronic displays and lighting. Indeed they also have great potential for signage, a major requirement intermediate between these two. Anyone looking at the enormous and expensive plasma displays in airports that display simple logos and signage will realise that there has to be a better way with signage. Potentially, “wallpaper” electronic signage would use far less power and have both lower capital cost and installation cost.
