Are OLEDs Ready for Prime Time?

Lighting designer Stephen Blackman, principal of Blackman Design Associates, has authored a whitepaper, “Are OLED Panels Ready for Prime Time?”

It begins:

“Right now we see many custom architectural OLED fixtures with high numbers of low brightness panels in exciting and sculptural forms at trade shows, in design magazine spreads and artistic installations as architectural focal points. The big question for many of us participating in the decorative and commercial fixture market is “Can it do anything we can sell today?” The answer: yes and no!”

It’s an interesting read, available here.
