Date: 28 July, 2023
Time: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM (UTC-04:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)
Presenter: Prof. Georges Zissis, PhD, SMIEE
Abstract:
During the last decade, SSLs-Solid-State Lighting based on components like LEDs, OLEDs, and LDs, challenges conventional technologies. LED has turned into a game changer beating conventional technologies in all aspects. It is therefore anticipated that in short term, all the electric lighting will be based on SSLs. Today, SSLs proceed to the projected conclusion: replacing all legacy technologies, this is a major change in the lighting market that is considered a revolution.
Artificial light production absorbs around 2 900 TWh corresponding to 16.5% of the world’s electricity annual production. Historically speaking, the past century’s research and development focused on single-energy efficacy enhancement. During the last decade, Solid-State Lighting (SSL) based on components like LEDs, OLEDs, and LDs, challenges conventional technologies. LED has turned into a game changer beating conventional technologies in all aspects. It is therefore anticipated that in short term, all the electric lighting will be based on SSLs. That way, SSLs proceed to the projected conclusion: replacing all legacy technologies, this is a major change in the lighting market that is considered a revolution.
