The project will finish end of December 2011 presenting with four general demonstrators to the EU commission.

The “OLED Design Contest – CombOLED Edition” is the new design idea’s competition expressly arranged in conjunction with the European CombOLED Project acting as the main channel to collect the potential general demonstrator application adopting OLEDs as light sources.

The contest is launched with the aim of connecting the research & development running activities of the early-mentioned European project with the possible future applications of the lighting industry adopting OLED device.
Based on extremely innovative transparent feature and on the final low cost of the next-to-come OLED device investigated by the project, participants are invited to submit solutions preferably on the following market fields:
