UDC Received SBIR Award and $99,900 Contract From DEO US for Developing PHOLED Lighting Efficiency

Universal Display declared that the DOE (US Department of Energy) has again awarded them the SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) Phase I program of $99,900.

The program is called “Novel Optical Enhancement for Thin Phosphorescent OLED Lighting Panels” under which Universal Display aims to exhibit a white colored OLED phosphorescent lighting panel that uses the technique of optical enhancement which enables it to meet the criteria of Energy Star by improving out-coupling efficiency and by conserving the white color OLED lighting panel’s thin and neat form factor.

Universal Display plans to use a technique of novel out-coupling which, in spite of being much thinner, performs as brilliantly as any thicker treatment like out-coupling blocks or macro-extractors.

In most cases the use of out-coupling enhancements are done in order to add to the quantity of light that emits as functional light. A brilliant lighting panel, white PHOLED, can surely improve the company’s previous results of effectiveness of the light panel by more than 25 %.
