There isn't one among us whom hasn't wondered when it is going to be as commonplace as it is in the movies. T-OLED or transparent organic light emitting diodes have been the context of movies since the eighties.
A glimpse of tomorrow begins tomorrow actually, at the KINTEX where over 250 LED and OLED companies are displaying. The show is an opportunity for lay people to glimpse just how close we are to the famous screen in the Minority Report as well as sustainable and cost effective lighting. For established businesses it is a chance to eye the neighbors lights, meet buyers, talk supplies and possibly even piece together the supplies and supply chains of the future.
If you are not involved in industry it isn't an excuse to sit at home in front of the obsolete screen. LED has a diverse range of applications and it is the future of lighting and screens because it is vastly more sustainable than other methods. LED has been applied as a cost effective and more ergonomic lighting solution, for example, in medical and corporate settings. Most companies producing LED solutions will not beat around the bush when it comes to discussing with consumers, whether business or individual, that the initial cost of LED is for the moment higher than other solutions. But reduced prices are only a matter of time and with LED giving up to 70 percent savings, said by Seoul Semiconductor, via energy consumption reductions over a lifetime, a scientific calculator isn't required to see that there is going to be a very favorable price bracket reached, if it isn't already for some products.
The LED and OLED exhibition is on in the Kintex from the 22nd to the 25th June, that's tomorrow. More information including registration can be found here: http://www.ledexpo.com/eng/main.php
There is also a simultaneous international LED and green lighting seminar with translation services available.
