LED Will Lead the Way for China Intelligent Lighting

HTT Cities are the defining political entity of this century. But what makes cities move ahead? At the most fundamental level, mobility makes urban activity possible. Creating and sustaining a transportation network is one of the oldest and most important functions of government, opening the doors to commerce and human interaction.

As the leader of the team that developed Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED) in Eastman Kodak, G Rajeswaran knows a bit about this emerging technology. He is setting up a company in the US for manufacturing LED flat panels. In India, he has a slightly different objective: bring in a disruptive technology to kickstart domestic manufacturing in OLEDs. The Indian Institute of Technology in Madras is partnering him. Rajeswaran and IIT Madras are developing the initial ideas for an R&D project to manufacture OLED screens at low cost in the country.

Founded by renowned Royal Designer for Industry Terence Woodgate in early 2014, Terence Woodgate Lighting Limited (TWL) designs and produces lighting collections that are optimised for LEDs. Energy efficient, high output LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are driven by a compact chip. This opens up entirely new design options, enabling the light source to be integrated into the fitting itself and removing the need for conventional bulbs.
