Next-generation illuminants: OLEDs offer completely new design options in lighting technology while consuming much less energy than conventional lighting.

Light-emitting diodes made from organic semiconductor materials are as thin as a film and open up new design opportunities in lighting technology, such as transparent lighting panels or luminescent wallpapers.

Organic semiconductor materials will revolutionize the lighting and display market in the years ahead.

• More efficient than conventional energy-saving lamps due to phosphorescent emitters.
• Above average service life 
  
• Strong growth of OLED applications in lighting and display
