OLED technology and materials provider Novaled has developed a new, power-efficient fluorescent white OLED structure, achieving 36 lumens per watt.
According to a report on the OptioIQ website, the company states its new structure will allow for lower manufacturing costs, while meeting standards for commercial lighting applications. New methods in outcoupling effectiveness are able to boost the 25-35% fraction of generated light that typically leaves the OLED device for lighting applications, while retaining the standard manufacturing process.
Novaled's new method also improves the Colour Rendering Index value for top-emission OLEDs on metal substrates.
