GE announces new efficiency(56lm/W) on O-LeD
[posted by Benz Roos]
o-led desk lamp prototype by GE and KM
“GE and Konica Minolta announced that they have achieved a “major breakthrough” in their white OLEDs: an efficient 56Lm/w flexible white OLED that is made using solution-coatable materials in a roll-to-roll printing process. The materials have “commercially viable lifetime” (we do not know exactly what they mean by that).”(o-led info). See the press statement here.
It’s quit exciting this new technology, however the fixtures and design-ideas are really boring. Like the ugly desk lamp pictured above. I’m really looking forward to see the first amazing designs for this superb technology! source: oled info -

Beyond 3D screen

Beyond – Collapsible Input Device for Direct 3D Manipulation beyond the Screen from Jinha Lee on Vimeo.
“What would it be like to reach into a screen and manipulate virtual objects as in real world. We present Beyond, a novel collapsible input device for direct 3D manipulation. When pressed against a screen, Beyond collapses in the physical world and extends into the digital space of the screen, such that users can have an illusion that they are inserting the tool into the virtual space. Beyond allows users to directly interact with 3D media, avoiding inconsistencies of input and output without having to wear special glasses. Users can select, draw, and sculpt in 3D virtual space and seam- lessly transition between 2D and 3D manipulation. We de- scribe detailed interaction techniques, implementation and application scenarios focused on geometric design and pro- totyping.” (From: tangible media at mit)
Sorry this has nothing to do with lighting, but I think it is a fantastic device! Since I draw almost at a daily basis 3d models, this would be absolutely fantastic to sketch in. Maybe this coudl eb made as a portable flexible O-LED device? source: designboom -

O-LED concept fixture by Sanaa for Zumtobel
Japanese architects Sanaa have developed this concept O-LED fixture for Zumtobel. O-LEDs are great everyone in the lighting world will agree, however all O-LED fixtures seems to be a bit disappointing.Why is that? Is expectation too high? or are O-LED not cool enough or does it all needs to take time? However in the end I had to say I quit like this Sanaa design! source:designboom

Novaled O-LED lighting concepts
Novaled had made a animation movie with lighting concepts with their new O-LED panels. Unfortunately the movie can’t be embedded but you can see it here. . It’s a nice movie, however the concepts are well known. But it makes you think what could be done with the new exciting O-LED technology. source:OLED info
