Recently, Royal Philips Electronics have poured EUR 40 million to increase its production capacity for OLED-based lighting at its facility in Aachen, Germany, to support the rapid growth of Philips’ OLED business, with increased availability of Philips OLED modules for high-end design lighting applications for decorative and ambience creation purposes.
This additional capacity at Philips’ OLED facility in Aachen is expected to be available in 2012.
In addition, Philips also recently opened its Lumiblade Creative Lab in Aachen, inviting lighting designers, luminaire manufacturers and creative minds to get a hands-on experience of OLED light as a material.
Furthermore, Philips has established an OLED product development cooperation with the local CERTI Institute in Florianópolis, Brazil and operates a product development center in Shanghai, China, to develop and customize OLED applications with lighting designers around the world.
