GE Global Research demonstrated the possibility of printing a light-emitting organic film in a newspaper-printing like roll-to-roll process.
GE Demonstrates World's First ''Roll-to-Roll'' Manufactured Organic
Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) NISKAYUNA, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GE Global Research, the centralized research organization of General Electric (NYSE: GE), and GE Consumer & Industrial, today announced the successful demonstration of the world’s first roll-to-roll manufactured organic light-emitting diode (OLED) lighting devices. This demonstration is a key step toward making OLEDs and other high performance organic electronics products at dramatically lower costs than what is possible today.
why is this important? Because the OLED (organic light emitting diode) film is extremely efficient.
Because printing roll to roll makes OLEDs far easier to mass produce, and thus cheaper.
Because OLEDs can be used in a huge variety of lighting applications, moving the world beyond lightbulbs and into a whole new paradigm of lighting. |
