Some of these ideas include daily electronic newspapers, extremely slim wall mounted TV’s, high contrast car displays, windows and walls in offices that are also computers as well as light panels and walls that change colors. These products just may be hitting store shelves in just a few years.

Flexible OLED Lighting

In July of 2011, the company Osram will begin selling their newest product, the Airabesc. The Airabesc is an OLED lighting luminary. This design is created in such a way that when hung on a ceiling, appears to be floating on air. Only with the OLED technology could this minimalist design even be possible. There are three color choices that will be available: black mirror finish, white matte deluxe and polished aluminum.

Philips Flexible OLED Lighting Panel

Developed by Konica Minolta, produced by Philips and using Universal Display materials, the OLED lighting panel is the most efficient commercially sold lighting panel. It is available in the color white. The panel size is 70mm by 70mm and is only 1.8mm wide. These panels are super-thin and resemble a traditional light bulb but flattened into a flat disc.

Conclusion

Flexible OLED technology has several advantages over LCD displays. OLED displays are bendable and flexible so they can conform to many surfaces. It is possible that products such as cell phones will be super thin in the years to come. The possibilities are endless with OLED technology.
