Verbatim sent us information about two new OLED lighting installations that use their 2nd-gen Velve color-tunable panels. The first one is in the Kaiteki Cafe in Tokyo:
Verbatim installed 28 OLED panels in the wall mounted mosaic, and there are also 12 units integrated into a table. Those table-integrated modules are controlled (dimming and color) by an iPad:
The second installation is at Lixil's eco-homebuilding franchise Eyeful Home Company's health room. Here Verbatim installed 29 panels (all 2nd-Gen ones).
The 2nd-gen Velve panels (announced in May 2012) are color-tunable and offer a brightness of 2,000 cd/m2. They come in two sizes (although Verbatim can also create custom-made OLED panel sizes): 131x44 mm and 65x72 mm. The depth is just 5 mm and each panel weighs 193 grams. The Velve OLED lighting panels are made together by Mitsubishi and Pioneer. Verbatim already announced the third-gen panels that offer increased efficiency (51.6 lm/W). Other than that they seem identical to the 2nd gen panels (but they come in just one size: square, 123x123 mm active area).
In July 2012 we posted a hands-on review of Verbatim's first-gen Velve panels.
