Program Area of Interest 3: OLED Luminaire Design and Materials: Solid State Lighting Product Development Area of Interest 3: OLED Luminaire Design and Materials Current SSL devices are limited in optical output and overall efficacy by many factors including out-coupling efficiency sometimes termed external quantum efficiency and thermal management, a product of internal and external quantum efficiency being less than unity. While significant improvements in these areas have been made over the past few years, there must be considerable improvement in price and performance if SSL is to realize the predicted energy conservation promised. Numerous limitations in materials and packaging constrain the products available today to conspicuity applications such as traffic signals, display applications such as cell phones and specialty illumination applications such as flashlights where their performance attributes are extremely well matched to the requirements. While the complete understanding of how today?s materials systems limit performance remains largely unknown, this is the subject of a companion announcement (see ?Core? research FOA). Instead, applied research and engineering that incorporates this new found knowledge and applies it to products and packages that exceed present performance limitations of approximately 15 LPW for OLEDs is sought. Applications may be submitted that seek to develop the necessary engineering expertise to use novel materials and systems in practical devices; make practical materials systems using alternative, potentially low cost processes; incorporate novel packaging designs and geometries; explore innovative light extraction mechanisms; or manage heat transfer in novel yet effective ways. Building upon established and demonstrated scientific principles, successful applications shall clearly illustrate the potential advantage(s) of the proposed innovation of design or materials or both in price and performance over commercially available technologies. This may be demonstrated either by laboratory testing and/or mathematical modeling. In any case, the proposed work must clearly demonstrate the commercial viability and increased value relationship to the DOE in terms of reduced cost, increased optical output and increased efficacy. The target values of these metrics for OLEDs are not as defined as for LEDs. However the limited work done by the DOE in this area projects that the information in Table 3 of the announcement are, for laboratory devices, reasonable performance estimates for today and targets for 2008. Thus, device improvements of several orders of magnitude to the price and performance of these devices are vital to achieve these goals. It is possible that the increases sought by the research and development under this announcement may not achieve these sizable but possible improvements alone. Additional, future core research may be needed or product advancements in areas not identified under this announcement may be necessary. These may be included in future funding opportunity announcements but are specifically excluded from the present one.
