Evaluation of OLED and edge-lit LED lighting panels

چکیده
Solid-state lighting (SSL) offers a new technology platform for lighting designers and end-users to illuminate spaces with low energy demand. Two types of SSL sources include organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). OLED is an area light source, and its primary competing technology is the edge-lit LED panel. Generally, both of these technologies are considered similar in shape and appearance, but there is little understanding of how people perceive discomfort glare from large area light sources. The objective of this study was to evaluate discomfort glare for the two lighting technologies under similar operating conditions by gathering observers’ reactions. The human factors study results showed no statistically significant difference in human response to discomfort glare between OLED and edge-lit LED panels when the two light sources produced the same lighting stimulus. This means both technologies appeared equally glary beyond a certain luminance.

متن کاملCost Effective Fabrication of a Solar PV Panel for LED Lighting
Solar cells are very fragile so they need a encapsulant and encasing for protection and well functioning. However, this makes the panel expensive. Utilizing locally available materials and following the new cost effective lamination process, some solar PV panels are fabricated. This process is used for developing some solar panels for examples 2 W, 5 W and 15 W. These panels are sufficient for ...
