titled “OLED Lighting: Companies, Products and Strategies - 2012.”
Glen
Allen, Virginia - May 9, 2012 -- NanoMarkets
has announced the release of its latest report on OLED lighting
titled “OLED Lighting: Companies, Products and Strategies - 2012.”
NanoMarkets projects that the OLED luminaire market will reach $6.4
billion ($US) by 2017 and within the report shows how far the OLED
lighting industry has developed in the last two years. The report
notes that OLED luminaires are available at affordable prices and a
surprisingly large number of major electronics and lighting companies
have developed plans to take OLED lighting into the mainstream
general lighting market. Performance criteria for OLED lighting are
close to acceptable for many real world applications.
This
report analyzes in depth the product/market strategies of leaders of
the OLED space including; Acuity Brands, AUO/Lextar, Blackbody,
First-o-Lite, GE, Kaneka, Konica Minolta, LG, Lumiotec, Mitsubishi,
Moser Baer, NEC, Novaled, Osram, Panasonic, Philips, Pioneer,
Samsung, Sumitomo, Visionox and WAC Lighting. The report also
provides insight into the strategies of smaller and emerging
companies in this space.

The
firm recently released its forecast of the OLED lighting global
market. Details of that report are available here:

Highlights
from the Report:
One
of the main selling features claimed for OLED lighting is “energy
efficiency.” Two years ago, OLED lighting wasn't very efficient,
offering around 20 lm/W. Today, it is much closer to CFLs and LEDs as
OLED lighting panels now routinely reach 45 lm/W to 65 lm/W.
Prominent OLED lighting firms are confident that they will soon offer
panels in the 100-150 lm/W range, which would then enable OLED
lighting to rapidly penetrate general lighting markets. Firms that
have announced superior efficiency performance in product roadmaps
include Panasonic, LG and Philips.
OLED
lights already compete with CFLs on lifetimes but remain challenged
by LEDs. Still OLED lighting lifetimes continue to improve rapidly.
Philips believes that OLED lighting panels will reach 40,000 hours by
2018. LG says it can reach this by 2015.
Firms
in the OLED lighting space see office lighting as an early revenue
generator. For this to happen, panels must be much larger than they
are today. Major OLED lighting firms expect progress in this area
soon. The often-conservative Philips plans 1 m x 1 m panels by 2018;
Panasonic will have 600 x 600-mm panels by 2019. The Korean firm,
Jusung Engineering has already built a 730 x 920-mm panel, although
not as a commercial product.
There
is a revival of interest in solution processing as a way of producing
low-cost OLED lighting panels to profitably meet the price points of
general lighting. Although GE’s efforts in this area are behind
schedule, Sumitomo's announcement that it is making a strong effort
to print OLED lighting panels has given new life to printing OLED
lighting panels. The Pioneer/Mitsubishi alliance is also developing a
printing process for some layers of its panel.
