KODAK OLED Lighting

Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) technology was pioneered by Kodak in the late 1970s. Last year, the company revealed the world's first OLED digital photo display device, and it looks like, thankfully, that wasn't the end of the line for them.

They recently received $1.7 million from the Department of Energy to work on OLED lighting Project .The object of the proposed project is to construct OLED lighting panels with efficacy and lifetime superior to most of the current commercially available luminaires.
The lighting panels will be constructed of 15 cm x 15 cm lighting tiles that can be used to build lighting panels of different sizes and shapes.

"OLED solid state lighting has tremendous potential to transform the future of the lighting industry, meaning that future lighting systems can be lower-cost and more energy-efficient", said Dr. James Buntaine, Chief Technology Officer and Vice President, Kodak OLED Systems.

So, it look like that we can expect cheaper and greener lighting from Kodak very soon.
