Abstract
In the past year, OLED makers, materials firms and others have become
increasingly interested in new business opportunities that will be available
as the result of OLED, phosphorescent and (to a lesser extent) carbon nanotube
lighting. Interest in this new form of illumination is being driven by a
number of factors ranging from its likely low power consumption to the fact
that - unlike high-end displays - it can be built without any need for complex
active matrix backplanes.
While the brightness, lifetimes and other performance factors for OLED and
printed lighting are all still in need of improvement, this type of product is
expected to find a large number of applications in areas as diverse as
architectural lighting, general illumination, backlighting for LCD displays,
signage, instrument panels, lighting for cars and aircraft, toys and games,
and even clothing.
NanoMarkets is pleased to announce a new report that analyzes and quantifies
the opportunities available in OLED and printed lighting. The report examines
the factors driving the market as well as key trends in materials and
manufacturing. The report analyzes the strategies of the main firms and
research groups involved in this space as well as the likely commercial impact
of various government funded projects in the U.S., Europe and Japan. In
addition to discussing the devices themselves, this report also provides a
NanoMarkets forecast broken out by technology platform and application area in
volume and value terms.
This report is one of the first studies covering this important field and
continues NanoMarkets ongoing research into printed electronics, OLEDs and LED
lighting markets.
