Product Monday: Verbatim Launches Color-Tunable Commercial OLED Products

Craig DiLouie July 25, 2011

Verbatim Americas, LLC recently announced the availability of color-tunable OLED (organic LED) lighting panels at LIGHTFAIR in Philly. Intended for sale to OEMs for general lighting, furniture lighting and other applications, the 14-cm x 14-cm OLED panels are based on unique materials technology developed by Verbatim’s parent company, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation. Full-scale production will start in July.

The large surfaces of Verbatim OLEDs, branded VELVE, produce a soft light, free from glare and with deeply saturated colors. The OLEDs, which do not contain hazardous materials, are very efficient,
producing 28 LPW at 1000 cd/m2 with a high CRI rating. Color tuning and white tone tuning allow the mood of a space to be varied to suit its function at the time. For example, it may be changed from a workspace requiring bright, cool light, to a place of relaxation with warm, subdued lighting.

To simplify development work, Verbatim offers a module as well as a sample kit. The sample kit is designed for lighting engineers and development engineers, containing an OLED that can be connected
directly to AC power. It can be used to evaluate seven pre-programmed saturated colours, white tone tunability and a dimming function. The second product is an OLED module with a printed circuit board
that provides an industry-standard DMX interface for RGB color control and a DALI interface for white tunability. Both development products are available now, direct from Verbatim.
