the DOE Solid State Lighting Program

Under terms of the contract, Universal Display will deliver a set of under-cabinet lighting units to the DOE. Each unit will consist of five 6” x 6” white PHOLED lighting panels. The units will be designed to provide comparable performance to existing under-cabinet systems, have a system efficiency of > 60 lumens per watt, and exhibit a significantly thinner form factor than conventional under-cabinet lighting products currently in the market. This thin form factor has the potential to expand the array of possible under-cabinet lighting design concepts and to simplify product installation.This is the second potential commercial lighting application in development by Universal Display. In 2008, the Company began working with Armstrong World Industries on a ceiling-based LED lighting system, also supported, in part, through the DOE Solid State Lighting Program.

The DOE has made a long-term commitment to advance the development and introduction of energy-efficient white lighting sources for general illumination. According to industry estimates, electric bills for lighting alone are over $200 billion per year on a worldwide basis. It has been estimated that by 2016, white OLEDs could generate well over $20 billion in worldwide savings of electricity costs and could save over nine million metric tons of carbon emissions from the U.S. alone.Barco has just announced that it has signed a deal in Abu Dhabi for the delivery of 14 LED displays for the new Yas Marina Circuit. In total 452 square meter of LED will be installed around the track to optimize the fans' viewing experience. On 1 November 2009 this brand new race track will host the F1 season finale on the occasion of the first ever Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

The Yas Marina Circuit will host the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in the next seven years, with the first ever Abu Dhabi grand prix taking place on 1 November 2009. To engage spectators and fans in the action, Aldar Properties has purchased 14 Barco SLite LED screens, totaling 452 sqm LED surface. The displays will be spread over the Formula 1 race track grounds and will be a mix of Barco's 10mm and 14 mm SLite outdoor LED displays.The energy-efficient, 9-inch-wide Aurora Borealis LED Fused Glass Wall Sconce (111930), left, uses 10 watts and produces a light output equivalent of a 60-watt incandescent lamp. Iridized black glass is framed in a swirling array of hot White Light as the fixture's shade is suspended by nickel-finished powder coated hardware.
