OLEDs (organic LEDs) use a new way of producing light that requires a considerably reduced amount of energy. Manufacturing costs are pretty high, for which reason nobody expected them to be integrated into lamps and be released to the market at this stage.OSRAM announced Early Future, a lamp that uses 10 distinct OLED tiles with 132 X 33 mm dimensions each.

They haven’t made public details about buying them or how much they would cost, but I’m not convinced they even expect to sell too many. As the name says, it is a little too Early to make such a lamp for regular people, as we have better options at this time.
