Dublin, Oct. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/z66t8g/key_patent)
has announced the addition of the "Key
Patent Analysis - Luminescent Materials for OLED Lighting -
2012" report to their offering.
The development of OLEDs has been focused on implementing color
displays such as red, blue, and green, but various possibilities of
white OLEDs (hereafter WOLEDs) has led constant R&D since the
late 1980s. Recently, the recent development of WOLED of 20 to
30lm/W shows a lot of promise as next-generation lighting systems
along with LEDs.
Like LEDs, OLEDs are eco-friendly lighting systems that are more
power efficient than the existing lighting systems, in that they do
not emit pollutants such as mercury and have high efficiency. OLEDs
are also considered to be highly marketable as surface light
sources that allow a wide range of applications (transparent and
flexible lighting) with various designs.
Unlike OLED Displays, OLED lighting is used to shed a glow, so it
has a structure wherein light sources of several to tens of mms in
size are arranged. The most widely used one is white. Unlike OLED
displays (AMOLED), it does not require TFTs. In addition, OLED
lighting has its own distinctive properties such as the Color
Rendering Index (CRI), light-area light emission, and overall power
efficiency. In particular, the color rendering index which refers
to the ability of a light source to reproduce colors is considered
as one of the most important factors for OLED lighting along with
efficiency and lifetime.
This report provides patent analysis on luminescent
materials, which is one of the key technologies for
implementing the above distinctive characteristics of OLED
lighting. For this, 1,707 validated patents were selected from
patents that have filed in Korea, the United States, Japan, and
Europe until July, 2012, which went through quantitative analysis.
In addition, after analyzing 372 U.S. patents, 65 key patents were
selected for in-depth analysis. It is expected that this report
will serve as a good guideline to look into the patent trend in the
field of luminescent materials and related key patents.
