Inuru Powered Light Solutions
Inuru produces low-cost, printed OLED films that can be embedded into packaging, clothing, and other surfaces to create interactive, light-emitting products. The company’s medical labels use blinking warnings and touch-activated guidance to improve medication adherence, with configurations offering up to 60 minutes of light-up time and 48 months of shelf life. The films are flexible, washable, and can be integrated using standard labeling or sewing equipment.

Product
Problem
Traditional medication packaging provides static, printed instructions that are easily overlooked, leading to patient errors, missed doses, and poor adherence. Similarly, conventional lighting and display technologies are too expensive and rigid for integration into everyday products like packaging, clothing, and medical devices.
Solution
Inuru has simplified OLED production through a printing process, creating low-cost, paper-thin, and recyclable luminous films that can be embedded anywhere. These "ELFs" (Embeddable Luminous Films) are flexible, sewable, laminable, and inmoldable, integrating OLED, a power source, and a chip into a robust film. The films display messages, sense user interaction through touch or proximity, and are available in self-powered or wirelessly rechargeable configurations. In medical packaging, Inuru's luminous labels light up to warn patients about expiry dates, provide dosage instructions, and guide safe medication use, with proven results in human factor studies. The technology also enables interactive marketing materials, safety-enhanced clothing, and other smart surfaces at a cost that makes broad adoption feasible.
Target Audience
Inuru's primary customers include pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers, consumer packaged goods brands, apparel manufacturers, and marketing teams seeking interactive, light-emitting packaging or wearable electronic products.
