Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) will play a major role in lighting applications in the future, but how soon this future arrives and how deeply the devices penetrate will depend on a number of factors, according to NanoMarkets.
In a recent report titled, "Emerging Markets for OLED and Printed Lighting", NanoMarkets predicted that in the long term, the economies of roll-to-roll manufacturing will establish OLED and other printable technologies as major players in mainstream lighting applications. In the short term, innovative designers will have find ways to put their unique characteristics to clever use in niche and specialty applications.
