EDITORIAL

OLED vs. LED? No! Lighting = OLED + LED

2013 is underway and Yole Développement’s LED team wishes you a year ﬁ lled with

innovations, technological breakthroughs and market success.

The magazine will change tack a bit this year; for one, we’ll focus on the “non-

visible” face of LEDs through issues dedicated to UV LEDs and new substrates for

LED manufacturing; and secondly, we’ll hone in on emerging lighting trends through

issues focused on intelligent lighting and OLED lighting.

In this ﬁ rst issue, OLED lighting has the honor.

OLED technology has come a long way since 1998, when Pioneer started offering car

audio systems with small monochrome PMOLED displays. OLED is now a multi-billion

dollar industry, mostly due to brilliant, touch-enabled AMOLED displays for mobile

phones which triggered the OLED market’s ﬁ rst growth cycle. The AMOLED display

market has grown quickly, from about $500M in 2009 to over $6B in 2012, thanks

mostly to Samsung Mobile Display (SMD), which owns nearly 90% market share.

In 2013, watch for OLEDs to target mid and large-size display applications (TVs,

netbooks, etc.), given SMD and LG Innotek’s recent decision to commercialize such

products. And though display applications are currently OLED’s only visible face, the

technology has a “bright” future: lighting applications.

Currently, OLEDs for lighting are still in their infancy. However, due to enhanced

design possibilities (size and form variety -- thin, lightweight, potentially transparent

and/or ﬂ exible, etc.), their integration into automotive lighting and general lighting

could begin within the next 2 - 5 years. Of course, technological improvements

must be made for better efﬁ ciency and lower cost (materials, manufacturing

process, etc.), in order for the technology to be accepted. Even then, acceptance

will be difﬁ cult - over the last decade, LED technology’s Solid State Lighting (SSL)

revolution has drawn attention away from OLED. However, in the beginning OLEDs

won’t compete directly with LEDs (or at least, they shouldn’t), and should develop

slowly in the lighting market by attracting mainly niche applications (i.e. specialty

and high-end lighting) while differentiating through design possibilities. By the time

this is accomplished, two key questions will require answers:

• What technology approaches will drive OLED into mass production? As with any

emerging technology, a large variety of materials and structures/designs are used

in production or tested. Moreover, alternatives to existing materials are actively

researched in order to improve light performance and lifetime, and decrease

manufacturing costs.

• Which business model will OLED panel manufacturers choose? In order to compete

with LED technology and leverage OLED’s full beneﬁ ts at a reasonable cost, new

business models will be mandatory since the traditional lighting industry will be

reluctant to integrate new technology that could compromise its margins.

Ultimately, if OLED wants to access traditional market segments like commercial

lighting and ofﬁ ce lighting, it will have to not only ﬁ nd a spark, but also combine

enough different niche markets in order to achieve economies of scale and decrease

cost.

…LED technology has

already paved the way

with a revolution in

Solid State Lighting

(SSL) that has drawn

attention away

from OLED over the

last 10 years…
