Munich underground – As bright as broad dayligh

koibito — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 12:35:22 +0000

The luminaires from LI-EX employ 15,000 cold-white Golden Dragon Plus LEDs and 50,000 warm-white TopLEDs in the entrance area of the new “Stachus Passagen” in Munich.

Two different LED types were installed in the process: for the facade lighting and for the architectural upgrading of the entrance area, as well as for the backlighting of a bronze-coloured glass facade, 15,000 cold-white Golden Dragon Plus LEDs were used. They supply a bright and even illumination, without scattered light or dazzle, and with low power consumption. An additional factor is the good colour rendering index of the LED light sources. This provides a natural colour impression and thus a higher level of safety, due to a more clearly contoured environment.

The handrail, 700 metres long in total, is illuminated by 50,000 warm-white TopLEDs. The LI-EX profiles are outstandingly suitable for this application. As the stairs in the entrance area are different, the length of the luminaires also needs to be adapted individually: for this type of luminaire, this is not a problem.

LI-EX is a part of “LED-Light for you”, a network for lighting technology, initiated by Osram, which works jointly with customers on implementing new solutions based on the efficient and multi-faceted light diodes; since the launch of the Stachus project, the network has been providing specialist advice to the architects, Allmann Sattler Wappner.

Mitsubishi OLED Globe at Science Museum

koibito — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 12:01:27 +0000

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that it has installed a six-meter organic light-emitting display (OLED) globe at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Tokyo, Japan. The OLED “Geo-Cosmos” display will be unveiled at the museum as the world’s first large-scale spherical OLED screen on June 11.

Hanging 18 meters from the floor, the globe is an aluminum sphere covered with 10,362 OLED panels, each measuring 96 x 96 millimeters. Mitsubishi Electric used its scalable OLED technologies to create the globe, which replaces a globe comprising light emitting diodes (LEDs) to commemorate the museum’s 10th anniversary. The globe will display scenes of clouds and other visions of the earth taken from a meteorological satellite. Projections will feature resolution of more than 10 million pixels, about 10 times greater than that of the LED display.

LED Expo 2011 is comming soon

koibito — Mon, 30 May 2011 13:32:18 +0000

“ International LED EXPO & OLED EXPO 2011”
LED and OLED (lighting in the future), and DID (core of next generation advertisement industry), ALL in one place.

First in the World, Biggest in Korea ! LED EXPO will be held in 21st June at Kintex.
Leading LED companies are coming !!! (GE Lighting, Kumho Electric, Inc. Jusung Engineering Co., Ltd, etc.)

Now “LED EXPO & OLED EXPO 2011” will be held at Il San KINTEX from June 21st through June 24th 2011, and DID (Digital Information Display) will be concurrently held. It is the biggest LED Expo where you can face all the products related to the LED and Flat Panel Display. (www.ledexpo.com, www.oledexpo.com)

This LED EXPO began its event in 2003, and it was the world first LED specific Expo. Ever since, it has grown more than 20 percent each year, and it will be its 9th expo this year.
It has been designated as a “promising trade show” by the Ministry of Knowledge Economy, and also certified by UFI (Union des Foires Internationales).

More than 60 percent of participant companies want to come back again in this event each year, and for instance, Kumho electronic, Vissem Electronics, Fine Technix, Star Net Co., Ltd, LUMENS, King Bright and other companies which participated in 2010 already registered to participate for 2011. Also new companies like GE Lighting, JUSUNG Engineering, SAMIK Electronics, LED-EVER TECHNOLOGY From China, Evans Analytical Group from USA, and Tokuyama, MITSUMI ELECTRIC from Japan, and GAT Electronics from Taiwan WAI CHI Opto Technology from Hong Kong confirmed to participate in 2011 event.

High quality seminars led by prominent academic and business speakers, and one-to-one business matchmaking services will provide insight and various information to the participating companies and attendees. Also, LED Expo 2011 will increase the foreign buyers’ participation to satisfy all the participating companies and attendees.

Meet Sony 3D OLED Glasses

koibito — Tue, 24 May 2011 11:31:46 +0000

The new Sony 3D OLED Glasses has two 3D OLED screens and a total resolution of 1280×720 pixels gives super HD video clarity. There’s also room for both HD and 3D with these babies, and they also come with simulated 5.1 surround sound and connection to most gaming and media devices through HDMI.
The Sony representative noted the glasses would most likely utilize a HDMI connection, meaning it could work with a variety of content sources, including 3D Blu-ray players, PS3, PC, and so forth. The glasses also defeat a major problem the company faces with OLED, as large screen OLED displays are difficult to sell at reasonable prices because of the high manufacturing cost.

Amazing Black & White OLED Clock

koibito — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 12:51:56 +0000

Amaizing black & white OLED clock is waiting for manufacturer.
Designed by Vadim Kibardin this amazing clock has built from polycarbonate and Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED).
Each figure (60mm x 110mm x 10mm) has self-contained power supply and independent control, it can be fixed to any surface autonomously. A light sensor will switch the clock to an invert mode: the figures are white in the dark time of day and black at daytime.

Check out the project page and find more information about this great OLED clock.

Flexible OLED Technology

koibito — Sun, 04 Feb 2007 22:26:33 +0000

Universal Display Corporationâ€™s FOLEDÂ® flexible OLEDs are organic light emitting devices that are built on flexible substrates such as plastic or metallic foil. FOLED displays can offer significant performance advantages over LCD displays that are typically built on rigid glass substrates and contain a bulky backlight.
FOLEDs are thinner and lighter weight than other displays.Â This means that cell phones, portable computers, wall-mounted televisions and other products that use them can also be lighter and smaller.
FOLEDs can also be more durable – less breakable and more impact resistant – than other displays.
It is built on optically-clear plastic films and thin, bendable metallic foils are currently under development at Universal Display Corporation.Â Such displays may be made to bend, flex and conform to many surfaces. For example, FOLEDs may someday be found affixed to curved helmet face shields, shirtsleeve cuffs and automotive instrument panels.
