Objective:
This project is proposed as logical follow-on to previous 2018 Panel Project cited. Additional work is needed to refine shipboard configuration, optimize size & weight to maximize inherent advantages of OELD technology. Specifically:
- Develop and demonstrate installation mounting techniques / options during ship construction
- Design robust fixture platform and test to required shock and vibration standards
- Quantify savings / cost avoidance associated w/ eliminating bonding and grounding
- Demonstrate light distribution / delivery characteristics of OLED including integration of red & amber panels into general illumination white fixture
- Model and quantify platform level space and weight reductions in terms of cubic feet (ft3) and tons over current standard general lighting. Include flexible OLEDs in the analysis.
- Demonstrate both standard OLEDs and higher lumen OLED options currently in development
