Abstract
As new opportunities rapidly emerge in energy efficient solid-state lighting,
new manufacturing approaches are also assuming more importance and these
include printing. Electroluminescent (EL) lighting has been printed for
years, but this report goes beyond EL and includes discussions of other forms
of printed lighting, including systems based on carbon nanotube emissions and
especially on OLEDs. The report reviews the market potential for all of the
main applications for printed lighting from simple backlighting applications
to sophisticated architectural lighting. It also provides data on the
performance criteria for printed lighting and profiles some of the leading
firms and government projects exploring printed lighting technology, discusses
recent events in this field. Finally, it provides an eight-year market
forecast of the revenues that NanoMarkets expects from printed lighting with
break outs by both technology and applications segment.
