Power Paper and GE developed self powered OLED lighting products

Israel infinity equity fund management group's PowerPaper company and General Electric (GE) technology development department, GE Global Research Department today jointly announced that the two companies have signed a cooperation agreement to jointly develop OLED lighting power supply device. The use of low-cost, large-scale production process of the production of lighting equipment has a very wide range of applications, the ship to the night running vest can be applied. The cooperation between the two companies has been supported by the Israeli - American Industrial Research and Development Fund (BIRD) project.

GE is a pioneer and leader in the field of electronic lighting in the world, continuing to bring innovative new lighting technology to the market. PowerPaper is committed to the development and licensing of paper based thin flexible, safe and environmentally friendly innovative printed battery technology, micro power clean energy.

GE commercial and industrial business project manager JohnOuseph said, "our goal is to design less interference, with higher flexibility, easy to install, easy to change according to the actual needs of the lighting products. We will develop a product with lower cost, less energy consumption, more stable performance, and good seismic performance. The mobile remote power supply lamp is the extension of GE lighting products and PowerPaper combination of nature, its unique positioning can just satisfy the application demand for lightweight flexible battery. "

Under the cooperation agreement, the cooperation between the two sides will be PowerPaper innovative ultra-thin battery with GE's industry-leading organic light-emitting display (OLED) technology combined. The goal of the GE-PowerPaper-BIRD project is to develop the first generation of self powered OLED lighting products and to develop the next generation of products with better performance. The project lasts for 12 months. It is estimated that the capacity of the general lighting market is $2 billion 500 million.

PowerPaper's chief technology officer, Mr. ZvikaNitzan, said: "working with GE and the BIRD foundation gives us a wonderful opportunity to be passionate about what we're doing right now. It is necessary to note that the PowerPaper battery does not contain corrosive chemicals, does not produce overheating, explosion or cause burns and electric shock phenomenon. These batteries are non-toxic, non flammable, easy to transport, storage, can also be discarded directly after use. These batteries do not contain heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium and other traditional batteries, which make the battery suitable for one time use. PowerPaper design and printing process can control the shape and size of the battery to meet the needs of different applications. Our battery products have many advantages, at least it can provide the following features: to prevent accidents, reduce transportation costs, so that our partners can develop a variety of different end products. "

The potential application of lighting equipment market can move the light with very broad. Imagine the scene, when the power cut, corridors and emergency lights on the strip lights, and even the whole house lights up. Another example of the application is that the army and camp enthusiasts can use OLED lighting in tents without the need for heavy and noisy generators.
