The Research Institute for Organic Electronics (RIOE) set up a booth focusing on OLED lighting. It exhibited OLED lights with various designs. One of them is a prototype panel with a high luminance of 5,000cd/m2 and a low power consumption of 15W. The panel has a luminous efficiency of “15lm/W, which is equivalent to that of an incandescent bulb,” according to RIOE.

Lumiotec Inc is the only exhibitor that has announced the schedule to ship samples of the product on display. It is a company jointly established by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd, Rohm Co Ltd, Toppan Printing Co Ltd and Junji Kido, professor at Yamagata University.
RIOE’s panels with a high luminance of 5,000cd/m2. The color temperatures are 3,300, 4,000 and 5,000K from left to right.
Lumiotec plans to build a plant in Yonezawa City, Yamagata Prefecture, Japan, by fall 2009 and start shipping samples. At the exhibition, the company exhibited a 1.9mm-thick panel manufactured using R&D equipment.
Panasonic Electric Works Co Ltd exhibited the thinnest panel of all the panels displayed at the event. It has a thickness of only 1mm. The company exhibited several panels with different color temperatures, including one with a high color rendering index of 94 and a color temperature of 6,000K, which is equivalent to that of sunlight.
