“The ultra-flat Orbeos OLED panel wins the Electron d’Or Award of French trade journal ElectroniqueS for product of the year in the Opto/Display category. By awarding the Orbeos OLED panel, the jury chose a completely new type of light source, which enables a glare-free, soft light with superior energy efficiency at the same time. The Orbeos is only 2.1mm thick and weighs 24g. Unlike conventional LEDs, OLEDs are not point light sources but surfaceemitting diodes, which allow for unconventional luminaire designs. The OLED’s warm white light is similar to that of an incandescent bulb but requires only half the energy and lasts five times as long.
