OLED Lighting

More than double the light efficiency of OLED lighting applications with Pixelligent’s tunable PixClear® Zirconia nanocrystal formulations and dispersions.

Illuminating New Opportunities in OLED Technology

While OLEDs have made their mark in the display industry, lighting applications have not achieved the same success. The main adoption challenge has been the high cost of OLED lighting panels as compared to LEDs. However, with increases in research and development, OLEDs are advancing rapidly and now have the potential to revolutionize the way we illuminate spaces, providing new possibilities for architectural, automotive, and personalized lighting solutions.

Improving Internal Light Extraction for OLED

OLED lighting panels are ultra-thin, have low glare, and are flexible. As light makes its way through these panels, it passes from a material with a high refractive index (RI) to one with a lower RI, which causes the light to “bounce back” into the device. This phenomenon is called total internal reflection (TIR), which reduces lumen output and results in wasted energy and lower overall efficiency. Using PixClear® high RI materials as an internal light extraction layer in these panels, it’s possible to improve light output by nearly 100%, making them brighter, more energy efficient, and longer lasting.

 

Reduced TIR leads to more light being transmitted out of the device
Reduced light lost due to TIR leads to 2x increased light output without increasing voltage
Reduced TIR leads to less reflection of the light into the device minimizing internal heating
Compatible with industry-standard OLED manufacturing processes and deposition methods
Coating of thin layers does not alter the quality of the nanocrystals or the device performance
Maintains uniform light output at all angles
