Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
March 10/11, 2015

2. What is NGLIA? 3M EYE Lighting Acuity Brands Lighting
Alliance of for-profit U.S. corporations formed to accelerate U.S. Solid State Lighting (SSL) development and commercialization through government-industry partnership. Membership open to any private, for-profit firm substantially active in solid state lighting research, development, infrastructure, and manufacturing in the U.S. 3M

4. What is the Solid State Lighting Program
Next Generation Lighting Initiative
Sec. 912 of Energy Policy Act of 2005 directed DOE launch NGLI to support R&D, demonstration and commercial applications, and select an industry partner organization. The National Academy of Sciences periodically reviews the DOE program.
Areas of Work of the Program:
Research & Development
Core technology
Product development
Manufacturing
Standards Development
Coordination with industry organizations
The Secretary shall carry out a Next Generation Lighting Initiative in accordance with this section to support research, development, demonstration, and commercial application activities related to advanced solid-state lighting technologies based on white light emitting diodes

5. What Is Solid State Lighting?
Fundamentally different from conventional technologies
Directional
Compact size
Long operating life
Controllability
Energy Efficient
Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs)

6. How is OLED different from LED?
OLEDs are solid-state devices composed of thin films of organic materials that create light with the application of electricity. OLEDs are being used for electronic displays and are now emerging as a solution for architectural lighting in buildings.

7. Success of Existing DOE SSL Structure
Program highly regarded by industry
Significant results in a relatively short period of time
Reviewed by NSF with high accolades
Reason:
Well coordinated and fully integrated
Singular objective – advance market adoption of SSL technologies
Time sensitive
Trusted by all stakeholders
This is a model DOE should be using for technology advancement.

8. SSL Program Status Report
Rapid technical progress being made, supported by industry-DOE partnership
U.S. manufacturing with support of international supply chains
SSL products on the U.S. market

9. But….. Efficacy using today’s techniques leveling off
Significant technology headroom remains
Need for breakthroughs vs. incremental improvements
Bring down cost to manufacture (materials & processes)
Capital investments: plant, equipment
Bring down first-cost to the consumer
International Competition (China $ 1 billion annually, several others $100 million annually)

10. Much Deeper Energy Savings Still Achievable
Difference between projected and potential energy savings remains large (~2 quads or 130 TWh annually or ~ 11.9 million homes); clearly, there is still much to be done.
                          we are at 2015, for the wedge of energy savings,  we have about 5% -  much more to go
Similar energy savings whether OLED or LED 10

11. SSL Program Changes by DOE
DOE has decided to reallocate R&D support for FY2016 which jeopardizes the program and U.S. SSL leadership
DOE Changes Include:
Moved MSSLC to Building Technologies
Moved IEA International Support to Regulatory Program
Moved PNNL Test Equipment to Regulatory Program
DOE Management has directed that deployment type activities within SSL cease by end of FY15
Include L Prize money in expenses 11

12. Bottom Line
SSL is still a rapidly changing technology, and is not ready for standard “deployment programs.”
We need the high technical content of the current DOE SSL efforts to help identify technical issues our industry can solve.
Moving programs out of SSL program will harm their effectiveness, and slow market adoption.
The President’s request is a cut to the program

13. Requests / Recommendations
The SSL R&D Program is to receive $40 million in 2016, and all funds are to be spent by the SSL R&D Program, with no credit for funds spent by other BTO programs that include lighting activities.
The L Prize funding will be designated as ‘No Year Funding’ and will come from other BTO funds
