OLED Luminaire with Panel Integrated Drivers and Advanced Controls

Lead Performer: Acuity Brands Lighting – Berkeley, CA
Partner: OLEDWorks – Rochester, NY
DOE Total Funding: $337,505
Cost Share: $112,502
Project Term: July 1, 2015 – October 30, 2016
Funding Opportunity: SSL R&D Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) (DE-FOA-0001171)

Project Objective

This project plans to develop an OLED luminaire that features DC current drivers integrated with each panel, and a base station that interfaces with user control input, provides power to the OLED panels, and translates the control input to desired functionalities of the panels. The goal is to demonstrate a luminaire with an efficacy of 65 lm/W and a luminous output of 4000 lm.

Project Impact

This advancement in OLED technology could lead to more-efficient OLED lighting systems and reduced energy use for building lighting.
