Lantern Printer by General Electric

General Electric manufactured the first machine capable of producing rolls of OLED panels of almost any size (although they still consist of smaller units). In the free market such machines may appear as early as 2010, and then they will be able to make solid blocks with a diagonal more than a meter. Minor technical problems such as halving the brightness after 2000 hours of work are also planned to be successfully overcome.



Organic LED screens are just beginning to be used in mobile phones and televisions, but the new GE device is designed for making large panels that can be used for street or home lighting.

OLED panels are quite thin, which allowed AP journalists to call the General Electric a “flashlight printer”. In fact, the process of spraying the coating on them is similar to the way a conventional printer paints a sheet of paper.

According to journalists, OLED technology can fundamentally change the lighting technology of our homes. Instead of installing small and very bright incandescent bulbs in the future, it will be possible to install whole luminous walls or ceilings of organic LEDs. They can still be attached over the blinds on the windows, so that the light in the room of the room will fall in the usual way - from the window. The technology allows you to make even glowing wallpaper. Such lighting is much more pleasant to the eye and generally looks more aesthetically pleasing.
