Organic LEDs offer all the familiar benefits of LEDs such as high energy efficiency, low operating voltage and mercury-free design, and also have some impressive properties of their own. The light source is not a collection of individual light points but a uniform light-generating surface. Initial laboratory prototypes from OSRAM showed last year the property of transparent light in a usable tile size. Thanks to the layer structure, it is possible to produce not only very thin OLEDs but also scalable ones. More about OLED lighting here: http://www.oled-display.net/oled-lighting
That's a great link! Thanks for the additional info. This is really exciting stuff, and I'm convinced that eventually all interior lighting will be done this way.
