Sumitomo Chemical : Polymer OLED Lighting to be adopted at Tokyo's largest amusement park

September. 26, 2016

Sumitomo Chemical's polymer OLED lighting will be adopted for "JEWELRY JARDIN", a chandelier in the restaurant "Goodday" in Yomiuri Land, Tokyo's largest amusement park in Inagi City, Tokyo.

The "JEWELRY JARDIN" chandelier is designed for Yomiuri Land by Motoko Ishii, the world-renowned lighting designer known for various accomplishments of lighting at a number of project sites, including Tokyo Tower. "JEWELRY JARDIN"

uses polymer OLED lighting panels developed by Sumitomo Chemical, and the decorative lighting symbolizes a "Garden in the Sky," creating a space of beauty by numerous colors of light.

Sumitomo Chemical's polymer OLED lighting carries a distinct advantage that it produces various tones of color, soft colors and vivid colors. The Company's proprietary technology is capable of dual-color emission in a single panel, making graphic expressions possible, such as illustrations and photographs. As a new source of decorative lighting, Sumitomo Chemical's polymer OLED lighting offers new value to society.

Reference Material

• Low-cost fabrication based on an advanced printing process.

• Capable of producing a variety of emission colors with a single, printed light-emitting layer.

• Capable of producing a wide range of lighting colors, from natural light closely resembling sunlight to neutral colors that are excellent in designability.

• Thin surface light source.

• Reduced impact on eye health owing to light with ultraviolet wavelength not included

• Mercury-free and environmentally-friendly. Website: http://www.sumitomo-chem.co.jp/english/pled/

The OLED lighting is an illuminant made from an electricity-conducting organic material, emitting light when a voltage has been applied. The emitting color varies depending on the molecular structure of an organic material used. An OLED that is made from a polymer as a light emitting material is called a Polymer OLED.

OLED JARDIN is a lighting object designed by Motoko Ishii and uses polymer OLED lighting panels developed by Sumitomo Chemical. It was exhibited at Light+Building 2016. Light+Building, which is held biennially in Frankfurt, Germany, is one of the world's largest trade fair for lighting and building technology.
