The Technical University of Dresden and Novaled AG have reached 90 lm/W at a brightness of 1.000 cd/m2 for a real lighting device and even 124 lm/W when using a 3D light extraction system. White organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are a promising new technology to become the next generation light source. They have the potential of much higher efficiencies than classical lighting sources. Due to their unique features and attractive appearance, white OLEDs will have a striking impact on the l...
