Precautions for using OLED lighting panels properly
5.1 OLED lighting panel driver design/selection
This panel must be used below the forward current and peak current in 2.1 Absolute Maximum
Rating.
This panel is designed for using with, and must be used with a constant current driver (power
supply).
The drive must be operated with a protection circuit.
Pay attention to polarity (anode (+) and cathode (-)) when making connections.
5.1.1 Detection of increasing voltage in OLED lighting panel, and shut down of panel current
As a countermeasure to ensure that heat generated by a voltage increase is dissipated,
use a constant-current driver (power supply) with the functions described below or add
appropriate protection circuits to each panel.
⚫ When it is detected that voltage exceeding 13 V is applied to a single panel, current to
the panel should be shut down.
⚫ When it is detected that voltage exceeding 13 V is applied to a single panel, the applied
voltage should be lowered to ensure that panel power consumption does not increase.
5.1.2 When driving a single OLED lighting panel
Refer to Figure 5.1.1.
Use constant-current driver (power supply) with the functions described below or add anappropriate protection circuit that provides the functions described below.
⚫ As indicated in 5.1.1, current should be shut down or the panel voltage should be
reduced to prevent from increasing power consumption by detecting panel voltage
increase.
⚫ When panel damage results in lower resistance or a short-circuit, the voltage dropshould be detected and current should be shut down.
5.1.3 When driving multiple OLED lighting panels connected in series
Refer to Figure 5.1.2.
Install an appropriate protection circuit that provides the functions described below foreach panel connected in series.
⚫ As indicated in 5.1.1, when it is detected that a voltage increases on each panel inseries connection of multiple panels, current to each panel should be shut down or
the panel voltage should be reduced to prevent from increasing power consumption.
⚫ When damage or other causes in some panels connected in series result in lower
resistance or a short-circuit, the voltage drop should be detected and current should
12
KANEKA OLED Lighting PanelKN-P-P4-BK-40-U

OBM-200-503/002
be shut down.

5.1.4 When driving multiple OLED lighting panels connected in parallel
Refer to Figure 5.1.3.
Including the situation when the circuits connected in series as in 5.1.3 are connected inparallel.
Each parallel connected line in the circuit should be provided with a constant-current
driver (power supply) preparing against lower resistance, a short-circuit, high resistanceor an open circuit, which are caused by the panel damage. The same precautions
described in 5.1.3 are applied on each parallel connection lines.

5.2 Prevention from Dark Spot
5.2.1 OLED lighting material and encapsulation technology
Organic materials constituting OLED device easily degrade by moisture, and thisdegradation causes non-light emitting area, called “Dark Spot”.
OLED lighting panels have the encapsulation technology to prevent moisture from outside.
For more detailed information, refer our web site;
http://www.kanekaoled.jp/enstrength/technology.html

5.2.2 OLED lighting panels handling to prevent Dark Spot
KANEKA OLED lighting panels form the encapsulation film on the back side of thelight-emitting surface. This is to prevent moisture from outside. The protection film (thefilm color is black) is glued on the encapsulation film.
When a force is applied to the OLED lighting panel locally, the encapsulation film would
be damaged. And the Dark Spot would be produced as the result.
The force examples are; pushing the back side surface by a finger, scratching or pushing
the back side surface by sharp edge materials, pushing down OLED lighting panel on thesmall rigid particles, etc.
To prevent Dark Spot
Please hold the side edges by fingers gently when you treat OLED lighting panels. Do
not push the OLED lighting panels surface.
Please clean both the OLED lighting panel back side and its casing surface when you
install the OLED lighting panel in the casing. When Dust or Burr exists between OLED
lighting panel back side and its casing, the encapsulation can be damaged by pushing thepanel on the casing surface. Also, if the OLED lighting panel casing surface is too rough,then it would damage the encapsulation.

The encapsulation damage allows the

moisture to penetrate into the organic material.
