Problem
Conventional lighting systems are rigid, bulkier, and consume significant power, making them unsuitable for integration into wearable therapeutic devices or space‑constrained human‑care products. This limits designers’ ability to deliver personalized, low‑energy illumination that aligns with clinical or wellbeing applications.
Solution
PrintedSUN provides a printable OLED platform that can be deposited onto ultra‑thin, flexible substrates using roll‑to‑roll printed electronics. The resulting light‑emitting films combine high luminous efficiency with mechanical compliance, enabling seamless integration into ambient fixtures, consumer wearables, and medical phototherapy devices. By leveraging proprietary organic semiconductor inks and low‑temperature encapsulation, the modules achieve long‑term stability while maintaining a small carbon footprint. The technology is offered as ready‑to‑use lighting sheets or as a service through contract research and co‑development partnerships, allowing customers to accelerate product timelines without investing in OLED fabrication infrastructure.
Target Audience
Primary customers are OEMs of lighting fixtures, wearable health‑tech manufacturers, and medical device firms developing phototherapy or patient‑monitoring solutions, as well as research institutions seeking printed‑electronics expertise.
