Introducing The LumiCurve Product Family from OLEDWorks

November 13, 2018

OLEDWorks LLC announces the availability of the Wave, the first commercially available OLED (organic light-emitting diode) lighting platform on flexible glass. As part of the new LumiCurve product family, processed on Corning® Willow® Glass, the Wave marries feather-weight elegance with bold lighting functionality paving the way for exceptional design concepts from architectural lighting to transportation.

“It has been a privilege to bring the LumiCurve Wave to market in collaboration with Corning, whose innovative leadership in glass technology is complemented by outstanding teamwork” says Dave DeJoy, Executive Chairman of OLEDWorks. Only microns in thickness and grams in weight, the Wave delivers the superb light quality and excellent color rendering that is uniquely achievable with OLED. We wanted to take our OLED light engine success and apply it in ways that would change how the industry thought about traditional lighting applications. We want to inspire, and we believe the Wave does just that.”

“We are excited to continue our collaboration with OLEDWorks by enabling the next generation of lighting solutions as Corning pursues a new market opportunity for Willow Glass,” said Dr. Dipak Q. Chowdhury, division vice president and program director, Willow Innovative Substrates, Corning Incorporated. “Light no longer has to stay locked up in a bulb, but can be freed to flow and flex around corners, curves, and crevices making it much easier to integrate into architecture, furniture, and appliances. The conformability is amazing!”

OLED lighting continues to advance with improved performance, expanded formats and additional color temperatures. The inherent hermetic barrier properties of Corning’s Willow Glass unlock the potential for conformable surface lighting without compromising the durability and lifetime of the lighting panel. Organic LEDs are a uniquely naturally diffused light source with unparalleled light quality. OLED lighting creates an atmosphere that promotes well-being from healthy light without glare.
