General Lighting Sources
• Incandescent bulb– First industrial light source– 5% light, 95% heat– Few thousand hours of life
• Fluorescent lamp– White light– 25% light– 10,000s hours
• Solid-state light emitting diode (LED)– Compact– 50% light– More than 50,000 hours lifespan

White-Light LED
• LED types:
RGB Blue chip + Phosphor OLED
Well-known technology, limited use, problem with balancing each R, G, B component to create white light
Popular for today general lighting, efficient and cheap
New technology, expensive and short life time. It is, however, very potential

OLED
• OLEDs:– Invented by Kodak in the 1980s– Intended for use in screens (brighter, thinner, faster,
lighter and less power consumption than LCDs)– Produced in large panels that illuminate a broad area.– Can be flexible with the relevant plastic substrate
(create different shape)

OLED
Equalisation approach
Merit: total value of serial capacitors is smaller than individual capacitor value
The external Ceq minimises the effect of OLED capacitance
