Abstract

Abstract:

Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) lighting is a new generation of healthy light source with its energy efficiency superior to compact fluorescent lamp (CFL). Since the invention of OLED by C. W. Tang in 1987, OLED technology for use as display and solid-state lighting has attracted extensive attention worldwide. Herein, the unique benefits of using OLED lighting are briefly introduced, and a review on research progress of OLED lighting is also provided. The problems and challenges to domestically make the OLED-lighting manufacturing equipment are discussed. Finally, the importance of developing efficient and large-area OLED lighting technologies and promoting the industrialization of OLED lighting has been emphasized.

Key words: organic optoelectronics, large-area OLED lighting, domesticalization of OLED manufacturing equipment, energy efficient
