Staggered 2D LEDs for Multi Purpose Lighting
Pliable, energy-efficient 2D LED technology integrates into surfaces, providing switchable color ambient lighting and shadowless UVC surface disinfection for commercial and residential applications.
Researchers at Purdue University have developed a 2D LED technology which can be integrated into furniture, flooring or other surfaces and can provide both surface disinfection using UVC and ambient decorative lighting with changeable color. Having a lighting source which is long-lasting, energy efficient and pliable built into parts of a room has significant promise, especially for applications such as hospitals, restaurants, commercial buildings, and homes.
Advantages:
-Provides shadowless disinfection
-Provides ambient lighting with switchable color built into furniture or other surfaces
Potential Applications:
-Hospitals
-Restaurants/bars
-Homes/offices
