2008-05-14 09:13:09 - On behalf of OSRAM Opto Semiconductors, LÖSCHE DESIGN designed the world´s first application of OLEDs in the field of floor lamps in the form of a decorative 'mood lamp'.

With this design LÖSCHE DESIGN expands its influence in designing lighting applications. You can actually touch and individually turn the circular OLED light modules, which emit light from both sides, due to absence of heat radiation.

The entire design of the lamp is based upon the filigree and lightness of the thin glass tiles.
In cooperation with Osram, the young Bavarian designer achieved advancement in technology for using OLEDS in the field of home-lighting through the development of floor lamps.

Recently the company presented part of the designed lamp in a home lighting scenario at this year's 'Light and Building' in Frankfurt. In this way the complete results of the cooperative project between the developers of OLED lighting in the Osram Opto Semiconductors

company in Regensburg and the industrial designer were presented.

Until now it has been the privilege of only a few international designers to design their products with this high-tech material. For Lösche Design it is a great opportunity as well as a challenge, because along with mechanical engineering and Life-Science, lighting is one of the biggest markets of optical technology in Germany.

OLEDs -organic light-emitting diodes - make ultra thin and high-powered screens and lighting systems possible. There is a lot of potential for worldwide revolution of the lighting and display market in particular with numerous product innovations, which are yet unknown.

OLED light sources will be particularly welcome where their special properties as flat light sources offering high quality of light make a real impression, for example in illuminated wall coverings, atmospheric canopies of light and light partitions. With their pleasant diffused light, the color of which can be individually controlled, OLEDs will enhance the premium design segment, for example as light tiles that can be attached to any surface. For widespread applications it will be necessary to produce efficient OLEDs in large numbers at reasonably low cost - an essential objective of the research project.
