GE Reaches OLED Milestone

Posted by timothy on from the lightsource-lust dept.

swordboy writes "General Electric recently announced the largest and most efficient OLED panel ever created. The 24 inch square panel emits 1200 lumens with a power consumption of about 80 watts - on par with today's incandescent bulbs. This represents the first fruit from the NIST project with ECD Ovonics. The ultimate goal is a cheap, flexible display and lighting technology that can function with an efficiency of 100 lumens per watt. This would make great wallpaper." (And, I hope, a great backlight for laptops.)

    Please explain... does this mean they spray pesticides on regular LEDs?

      Yes, absolutely. Otherwise, the LED bugs bite.

    Sounds to me like they've got it about right.
