Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

March 10/11, 2015

OLED Coalition

What is NGLIA? Alliance of for-profit U.S. corporations formed to accelerate U.S. Solid State Lighting

(SSL) development and commercialization through government-industry partnership. Membership open to any private, for-profit firm substantially active in solid state lighting research, development, infrastructure, and manufacturing in the U.S.

OLED Coalition

What is the OLED Coalition?A group of U.S. companies and advocates of OLED technology joined together to be the recognized voice for the OLED General Lighting Industry in the U.S.

– Promote the industry to the government, public and the lighting community

– Provide consolidated industry inputs on standards, as appropriate

What is the Solid State Lighting ProgramNext Generation Lighting Initiative

Sec. 912 of Energy Policy Act of 2005 directed DOE launch NGLI to support R&D, demonstration and commercial applications, and select an industry partner organization. The National Academy of Sciences periodically reviews the DOE program.

Areas of Work of the Program:

• Research & Development

• Core technology

• Product development

• Manufacturing

• Standards Development

• Coordination with industry organizations

What Is Solid State Lighting?

• Fundamentally different from conventional technologies• Directional

• Compact size

• Long operating life

• Controllability

• Energy Efficient

• Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs)

• Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs)

How is OLED different from LED?

OLEDs are solid-state devices composed of thin films of organic materials that create light with the application of electricity.

OLEDs are being used for electronic displays and are now emerging as a solution for architectural lighting in buildings.

Success of Existing DOE SSL Structure

Program highly regarded by industry

Significant results in a relatively short period of time

Reviewed by NSF with high accolades

Reason: Well coordinated and fully integrated

Singular objective – advance market adoption of SSL technologies

Time sensitive

Trusted by all stakeholders

This is a model DOE should be using for technology advancement.

SSL Program Status Report Rapid technical progress being made, supported by industry-DOE partnership

U.S. manufacturing with support of international supply chains

SSL products on the U.S. market

But…..

Efficacy using today’s techniques leveling off

Significant technology headroom remains

Need for breakthroughs vs. incremental improvements

Bring down cost to manufacture (materials & processes)

Capital investments: plant, equipment

Bring down first-cost to the consumer

International Competition (China $ 1 billion annually, several others $100 million annually)

Difference between projected and potential energy savings remains large (~2 quads or 130 TWh annually or ~ 11.9 million homes); clearly, there is still much to be done.

Much Deeper Energy Savings Still Achievable

Similar energy savings whether OLED or LED

DOE has decided to reallocate R&D support for FY2016 which jeopardizes the program and U.S. SSL leadership

DOE Changes Include:

Moved MSSLC to Building Technologies

Moved IEA International Support to Regulatory Program

Moved PNNL Test Equipment to Regulatory Program

DOE Management has directed that deployment type activities within SSL cease by end of FY15

Include L Prize money in expenses

SSL Program Changes by DOE

OLED Coalition

Bottom Line SSL is still a rapidly changing technology, and is not ready for

standard “deployment programs.”

We need the high technical content of the current DOE SSL efforts to help identify technical issues our industry can solve.

Moving programs out of SSL program will harm their effectiveness, and slow market adoption.

The President’s request is a cut to the program

OLED Coalition

Requests / Recommendations

The SSL R&D Program is to receive $40 million in 2016, and all funds are to be spent by the SSL R&D Program, with no credit for funds spent by other BTO programs that include lighting activities.

The L Prize funding will be designated as ‘No Year Funding’ and will come from other BTO funds
