Featured Presentation
“Challenges of Integrating Printed Electronics into the Lighting Industry”
Speaker: Dr. Adam M. Scotch, R&D Manager, OSRAM Corporate Innovation
LEDs are transforming the Lighting Industry faster than any other lighting technology since the introduction of the first incandescent bulb. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that LED lighting will grow from 6% of the installed base in the U.S. in 2015 to >85% by 2030. Much of this growth will be driven by increased energy efficiency, but LEDs offer plenty of other benefits. They have changed how we perceive, use, and interact with light. For example, moving from an analog to a digital architecture allows for the integration of sensors and controls that will add value by creating smart, connected lighting solutions. LED light sources can also take on alternative form factors beyond the traditional bulb. To that end, we believe that Printed Electronics offer opportunities for creating revolutionary lighting products. This talk will consider the challenges of printing high quality light sources, including what can and cannot be printed. For example, printed conductive traces offer a low-cost alternative to conventional etched Cu circuit boards, but industrialization of this approach requires the establishment of high-volume printing methods and a clear understanding about their inherent limitations.
