INNOVATION CONTEST #GC2240200

Design of Lighting Using OLED Technology

CONTEST DESCRIPTIONNineSigma, representing Corning Incorporated and OLEDWorks, invites design proposals for OLED lightingapplications that highlight the special features of OLED technology: thin form factors, low weight lighting elements, coolto touch, and high light quality.

BACKGROUND

OLED light panels naturally produce diffuse light with little or no heat in very thin (1-2mm) form factors. Moreover, thelight produced has a broad color spectrum, similar to that of an incandescent lamp in the visible spectrum. This resultsin good color rendering of objects and a pleasant user experience. Luminaires and other lighting solutions based onOLED technology will likely find widespread application where thin form factors, low weight, and high light quality arecritical design elements.

On the other hand, LED light luminaires tends to produce glare and heat requiring auxiliary optics and thermal

management systems. This limits their appeal for use in extremely lightweight fixtures and integration with buildingmaterials and furniture.

This contest invites designs for luminaires and other lighting applications that could benefit from OLED technology,including architecture, building materials, and furniture. The designs may target a variety of market segments,including, but not limited to, hospitality, retail, transportation, commercial, and residential. Desk lamp designs are not ofinterest for this design competition.

Corning is a leader in specialty glass and ceramics. Corning is collaborating with OLEDWorks, creators of world class,cost-effective lighting solutions, to develop OLED components. Both companies invite students and designers toimagine how OLED lighting can create the future of lighting devices, fixtures, and luminaires. Learn more aboutCorningandOLEDWorks.

PROGRAM MANAGER: Kevin Andrews, Ph.D.
