Summary of the European solid-state lighting program

A 2012 phase out incandescent

2009 Nian 4 Yue 28 news, the European Commission in Brussels adopted a law stipulating that from 2009 to 2012 and ICS9159C-02CW28 datasheet and gradually eliminated from the market for domestic, industrial sector and ICS9159C-02CW28 price and in public places and ICS9159C-02CW28 suppliers and other high-use incandescent lighting energy consumption equipment, and halogen and compact fluorescent lamps, LED lighting and other lighting equipment to do the energy consumption, functionality, aesthetics, health and other requirements. The European Commission pointed out that the reason for 4 years to phase out use of high energy consuming incandescent lighting, is to allow manufacturers to gradually adjust its production structure to meet consumer demands. So analysis of the European Union will be energy-saving lamps, halogen bulbs and LED lights to replace incandescent lighting in Europe to be the predominant light.

Second, the "Rainbow Plan" to promote LED

EUs "Rainbow Plan" launched in July 2000, commissioned by six large companies, 2 universities and through the EUs subsidies to promote the application of white light emitting diodes. Hope to achieve through the application of semiconductor lighting efficiency, energy saving, do not use environmentally harmful materials, simulation of natural light targets.

Three a day in 2011, mandatory replacement lamp

2011 years ago at the European Bank to enforce motor vehicle lights, LED will be more widely used in cars. In order to increase road safety, the European Commission decided in 2011, all new line of vehicles at a special lamp configuration. Day is a special line of light motor vehicles can be launched automatically open when the special lighting, it will greatly improve the level of other road users visibility of motor vehicles, and with the current use of light compared to the past is very energy saving, consumption power is only 25-30% of normal light, using LED technology, power consumption is only 10% of normal headlights.

Four, "OLED100.eu" program

2008 Nian 10 23 News, a leading industry organizations and colleges team of experts conducted a comprehensive research project --- "OLED100.eu", the projects goal is to accelerate the development of organic light-emitting diodes in Europe (OLED) technology, as soon as possible highly efficient OLED lighting applications in the general technology base. Seventh EU Framework Agreement for the research project provided 12.5 million euros (about 16.5 million U.S. dollars) in research funding.

"OLED100.eu" project started in 2004, completed earlier this year, the success of the OLED lighting applications in the study, so that white light OLED brightness of 1000 cd/m2 at the time the initial luminous efficiency of 50.7 lm / W, (see Site detailed report) life of more than 10,000 hours at the same time, thus establishing the basis for organic lighting.

"OLED100.eu" project, the EU will continue to invest in the development of organic lighting technologies and the need for general lighting specifications, and will focus on five major goals:

1. High luminous efficiency - 100 lm / W;

2. Long Life -10 million hours

3. A large area - 100x100 cm2

4. Low-cost -100 Euro / m2

5. Detect standard / application
