Europe Takes Global Leadership in Printed Electronics

Leadership in lighting

To pursue printed and thin film lighting, the OLLA project is a European Commission project led by Philips in the Netherlands without match anywhere else in the world. The aim of the OLLA project is to research and develop high brightness, high efficiency white OLEDs and demonstrate its use in general lighting applications. The UK Displays and Lighting Network is a vibrant central hub of activity for the displays and lighting community. Designed to stimulate innovation in the key technology sectors by promoting collaboration, best practice and knowledge sharing between industry and academia. By encouraging partnerships and teamwork, UKDL aims to support science base through to end-users. Such government support for the new laminar lighting is not seen elsewhere.
