Right now, Organic LEDs (OLEDs) are only used to light small electronic devices, but they may become useful in general lighting applications. Konica Minolta claims to have made a breakthrough in this area, by producing a bulb with a brightness of 1,000 cd/m2 and an expected lifetime of about 10,000 hours. They've released this fuzzy photograph of the prototype. The company says: “Running at 64 lumens/W, the device can be used as a backlight for handset displays. The company claims that it offers the world’s most efficient electric light source and is suitable for use in general lighting applications.” :: Via DigiTimes Display via Groovy Green
