US Department of Energy announces new "road map" for LED and OLED technology development

The US Department of Energy (DOE) announced the 2012 update of the SSL Manufacturing R&D Roadmap Guide Research Program, which announced the challenging production cost targets for LEDs and OLEDs in 2015 and 2020.

The roadmap plans to adopt the OLED and LED expert group meeting in April, and will be held at the 4th SSL Manufacturing R&D Symposium with 200 participants in San Jose, California from June 13th to 14th. Summarized.

The main goal of the “Roadmap” is to directly fund the manufacturing R&D project, supplement the DOE SSL R&D Multi-Year Plan (MYPP), and guide the core product development R&D project. The roadmap also mentions that it will assist equipment and materials suppliers based on the consensus of the SSL manufacturing industry in line with the expected evolution – thereby reducing risk, improving product quality, increasing production, and reducing costs. The companies involved include Universal Display Corporation (UDC), Moser Baer, ​​Applied Materials, Veeco, Sandia National Laboratory, KLA-Tencor, GE Lighting Solutions, Yada, Philips Lumileds, and DuPont Monitors. the company.


The LED expert team identified four priority LED tasks, including support for developing state-of-the-art flexible production of state-of-the-art modules, light engines and luminaires; development of high-speed, non-destructive testing equipment and quality inspection equipment at all stages; identification of critical issues and post-packaging LED processing; improved phosphor production.

The roadmap states that LED lighting/module targets:

1. Advanced LED packaging and mold integration into lamps (such as precision packaging technology, patch technology, etc.);
2. Use parts and raw materials more efficiently;
3. Simplified heat dissipation design;
4, the weight reduction;
5. Optimize the design for efficient, low-cost manufacturing (such as easy assembly);
6. Increase the integration of mechanical, electrical and optical functions;
7. Reduce production costs by automating, improving production tools or product design software.

Specific targets by 2015 include a 2x increase in throughput per year, a reduction in OEM bulb prices (downgraded from $50/klm to $10/klm), a 50% reduction in assembly costs every 2 to 3 years, and improved color control (from 7 SDCM to 4 SDCM).
