OSRAM First OLED Light Source-Orbeos

OSRAM Opto Semi­con­duc­tors announce its first OLED light source for pre­mium func­tional light­ing — the light, thin, non-glare, warm white Orbeos. The new energy-efficient surface-emitting panel is espe­cially suited to pre­mium appli­ca­tions in archi­tec­ture, hotels and cater­ing, offices, pri­vate homes and shops.

The Orbeos OLED panel has a round lamp sur­face of 80mm diam­e­ter, an ultra-thin design at only 2.1mm thick and weighs 24g. These lim­ited dimen­sions ensure a vari­ety of flex­i­ble, appli­ca­tion options. With an effi­ciency of 25lm/W, the panel exceeds that of con­ven­tional halo­gen lamps. Its warm white color tem­per­a­ture (2,800K, CRI up to 80) matches the warm light of an incan­des­cent lamp and is suited to light­ing that is atmos­pheric and func­tional at the same time. OLEDs give off a pleas­ant, non– glare light and are espe­cially well-suited for use in homes, muse­ums, restau­rants and hotels.

OLEDs open up totally new design pos­si­bil­i­ties for archi­tects, light­ing plan­ners and design­ers as it is now pos­si­ble to cre­ate illu­mi­nated areas with them such as lit ceil­ing or illu­mi­nated partitions.

Orbeos can be switched on and off with­out delay and is con­tin­u­ously dim­ma­ble. Unlike tra­di­tional LEDs, its heat man­age­ment is sim­ple. The panel con­tains no mer­cury and emits no UV or infrared radi­a­tion. Its bright­ness level is typ­i­cally 1,000cd/m2 with power input of less than one watt. In ideal oper­at­ing con­di­tions it has a lifes­pan of around 5,000 hours. Orbeos is avail­able with a frosted glass sur­face. The pan­els can be eas­ily mounted using spring contacts.

The rapid advance of OLEDs in gen­eral light­ing has suc­ceeded largely as a result of the tech­ni­cal prin­ci­ples of the ‘Organic Phos­pho­res­cent Lamps for Appli­ca­tions in the Light­ing Mar­ket’ project (OPAL), which is funded by the Ger­man Fed­eral Min­istry of Edu­ca­tion and Research (BMBF).
