Panasonic to expand lineup of OLED lighting devices

ntttttttttttt

Panasonic Corp on Thursday announced plans to release two new colored OLED lighting panels and modules (daylight white,n5000K, and natural white, 4000K) in addition to the currently available bulb color (3000K) OLED panels and modules, expanding the company’s lineup of OLED lighting devices.

The approximately 2 mm thick OLED lighting panel will be released on Friday by Panasonic Idemitsu OLED Lighting Co (PIOL),nwhich is a joint venture between Panasonic and Idemitsu Kosan Co. Panasonic Corporation Eco Solutions Company will release the easy-to-install OLED lighting module with a built-in control circuit in mid August, 2012.

Both products feature the world’s highest-level color rendering (CRI>90) and high luminance with long life time (10,000 hours, LT70). This excellent balance of specifications is well suited for lighting applications. In addition, due to Panasonic’s sightnangular dependence technology, the panels keep their color uniformity regardless of the viewing angle. The panels have an efficiency of 26~30 lm/W and the modules approximately 17 lm/W.

The OLED lighting devices are available in three colors, including daylight white which is in high demand in the Japanese market, to meet the needs of the lighting applications.
