INNOSYS, INC. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: N181-002

Description

The Marine Corps has used light emitting diode (LED) lighting systems in soft-wall and rigid-wall shelters. Unfortunately, the current LED lighting has not provided the energy efficiencies and cost savings originally desired. InnoSys proposes to develop new lighting that are based on printed quantum dots (QD) + LED on commercially available flexible substrates for use in lighting systems in soft-wall and rigid-wall shelters. Simultaneously, we will address the performance deficiencies of the current LED lighting to ensure output from the proposed solution is highly efficient and can provide the . The proposed QLED and QD based lighting will provide color/wavelength choice and tuning to aid in user comfort and productivity as well as meeting blackout requirements. The proposed lighting will be highly energy efficient, compact in size and light in weight and meet or exceed all of the specified requirements. The proposed solutions will be rugged, reliable and flexible in more ways than just the lighting panels themselves and provide for current and future needs of the Marine Corps and other branches of the Department of Defense as well as other government and commercial sector lighting needs. The electronics will permit full range dimming as well as simple on/off control.
