The US Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced a new round of research funding for solid-state lighting (SSL). The agency may provide applicants with up to $15 million in funding for core technology development for early solid-state lighting, OLED and LED proof of concept, advanced manufacturing and innovative lighting.
It is reported that the latest round of funding comes from the US Department of Energy's Building Technology Office (BTO) Emerging Technologies (ET) program. The ET program is designed to support technology development, resulting in a 45% reduction in energy consumption for typical buildings by 2030 compared to 2010. The program works in collaboration with industry, academia and national laboratories, including the lighting industry.
The main objectives of the plan are three:
Maximize energy efficiency of SSL products;
Improve the service life and color quality of SSL technology
And lighting system performance;
Reduce the cost of SSL sources and fixtures;
The US Department of Energy will select from four thematic areas around LED and OLED core technologies. Other topics include proof-of-concept for LEDs and OLEDs at the light source and system level, research in advanced manufacturing, and new lighting systems deployed in applications.
The ET program is just one of several research programs funded by the US Department of Energy to improve lighting efficiency. For example, the agency regularly funded OLED and LED research through the Science Small Business Innovation Research Office (SBIR) Grant and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grants, and further funded large companies and academic institutions through the SSL Advanced Technology Program.
The US Department of Energy has long been committed to promoting the development and marketing of high-efficiency lighting. It has continued to fund SSL research through different projects, accelerating the rise of LEDs and OLEDs in the field of lighting, and bringing significant energy savings to the United States.
At the same time, the US Department of Energy also announced a formal plan to close the LED Lighting Facts. In February this year, the Department of Energy announced the closure of the LED Lighting Facts program. The Department of Energy said that in the early days of SSL, LED Lighting Facts was part of the promotion plan. The agency said that the project has basically achieved its original goals and successfully helped introduce SSL as the primary lighting technology.
As pointed out in previous reports, the new features of the Lighting Facts database stopped on March 1.
