FORCES OF CHANGE ing antimony, arsenic, chromium and lead, as well as numerous other metals. In the low intensity red LEDs, researchers found the lead content was over eight times the regulatory limit and the nickel content was approximately two and a half times over THE FUTURE IS HERE The most advanced LED system on the planet has arrived at a town and city near you. The preferred choice in decorative outdoor street and area lighting nationwide. the limit. Under environmental regulations in the State of California, most LEDs would be classified as hazardous waste. Damaged LEDs could pose health risks to those handling them and having direct contact with the toxic substances. These negatives can “Admirable uniformity and a warm color” Judges comment 800.621.3376 | info@sternberglighting.com | www.sternberglighting.com ultimately be addressed but will influence the unchallenged acceptance LED sources have enjoyed. WHO’S UP, WHO’S DOWN Other new lighting technologies will gain momentum when our vision clears and reality sets in for the LED revolution. The OLED appears doomed as a general light source, due to the high cost, limited availability and lack of alternatives to indium. Indium tin oxide is a transparent (in thin layers) conductive coating used in OLEDs, LCDs, plasma displays, touch panels and electronic ink as well as some thin film solar cells. According to last October’s issue of Scientific American, “At current production levels, known indium reserves contain an 18-year world supply.” There are prospective replacements including carbon nanotube coatings but none has proven to be as effective. There is promising research on “aromatic carbonyls,” a pure-organic phosphorescent replacement, at the University of Michigan. Optimistic lighting and television manufacturers continue to introduce new OLED offerings. Apple recently filed three OLED display related patents. OLEDs have multiple competing technologies challenging them. The organic light-emitting transistor (OLET) is claimed to be 100 times more efficient at converting electricity into light that OLEDs. The OLET was developed at the Italian National Research Agency and announced in May 2010. It combines the switching mechanism of a thin-film transistor and an electroluminescent device. Carbon nanotubes were found in 2004 to emit photons of light but more recent research has focused on other uses. MIT was able to use carbon nanotubes to concentrate light by about 42 May 2011 | LD+A www.ies.org
