Introduction of OLED Technology
Creation of Five Values
Light that can be curved for creative effect
The plastic substrate used in the panel enables light to be curved flexibly. As well as being effective for illumination of complex curved surfaces in restricted spaces, such as the interiors of motorcars, this also allows a significantly greater degree of freedom in terms of lighting design.
Flexibly curves to allow freedom in lighting design
OLED lighting has one feature that no other type of illumination offers, and that is its ability to curve. While the current trend in new developments is to use glass for the panel that supports the light emission layer, the use of materials such as plastic substrate make it possible to achieve lighting that can curve flexibly.
With the significantly greater degree of design freedom imparted by its slim form and ability to curve flexibly, OLED lighting is attracting considerable attention not only from illumination designers but from interior designers as well. As a result, we can expect to see a rapid succession of innovative design ideas emerging in the form of radically new types of lighting.
A further major advantage of OLED lighting is that it can be installed by affixing to complex surface shapes such as car or airplane interiors, as explained in the section “Slim Design”.
Advantages of illumination that curves
- Easy to affix to complex surface shapes such as car interiors
- Expected to greatly expand scope for design of illumination and space
