General Electronic aka GE is celebrating Christmas with a little difference. The OLED reserach team of theirs has created world’s first OLED Christmas Tree. The celebrations could not have been more loud at the GE Global Research Center headquarters in Niskayuna, New York as the 6-inch-by-15-ft OLED system was rolled up to form a tree. This, by the way, is a new benchmark in the lighting industry telling the world how OLED can transform the future of lights and lamps.
Anil Duggal, the leader of OLED program at GE, claims that they haven’t arrived at Rockefeller or National Christmas tree status but he believes that they are not far! The team is hoping the OLED Christmas Tree will show people the limitless possibilities of the next generation of lights.
The tree indeed is a wonderful follow-up to the breakthrough GE scientists achieved earlier this year with their roll-to-roll manufacturing process for OLED lighting devices. Very similar to a newspaper printing process, this kind of manufacturing will play a major role in making OLED lighting commercially available to the masses.
