Glossary aims to clarify OLED lighting technology and terms

Sara Ver-Bruggen - 18 Mar 2010

A demonstrator of an OLED lighting panel developed by UDCDevelopers in Europe are working on a glossary to define OLED lighting and bring clarity to an emerging industry aiming for product commercialisation.

The document, being produced by partners of the OLED100.eu project, will be published in the next few weeks.

The glossary should help to make OLED lighting technology and terminology clearer to understand. It will cover OLED basics, such as the differences between OLED tiles and modules, as well as layer structure in OLED architectures and possibly measurement qualities and parameters.

'The glossary emerged as a side activity to other work. There is a need for a document that explains all terms and aspects that can be referenced with the view to developing standards for OLED lighting', says Dr Karsten Diekmann, who is leading the project's application work package.

Diekmann, who is based at Osram Opto Semiconductors, is also one of the authors on perception case studies developed for the project. The studies provide an early indication from the lighting industry on preferences for OLED lighting, in terms of panel dimensions, colour temperature and other areas.
