The US lighting manufacturers Cree has recently been granted by United States Patent and Trademark Office the patent number 8,841,834.

The patent filed in 2012, involving OLED and LED hybrid lighting systems, wherein the white light is mixed by the OLED and LED light source (or other solid state white light source).

This is just a lighting system patents, but it may mark that in order to supplement LED products, Cree has already started to engage in OLED lighting. The LCD backlight is one of the company’s markets, but it will likely be impacted by OLED in the coming years. Therefore, this message is good news for the OLED industry.
