Who can apply
limited to U.S. citizens and permanent residents*OverviewLight emitting diode (LED) and organic light emitting diode (OLED) based solid state lighting (SSL) are revolutionizing the lighting industry. Not only is SSL much more efficient than conventional lighting technologies, the new levels of control by SSL enable improved lighting performance, can improve health and productivity, and can enable additional energy savings through more efficient delivery of light. The efficiency of SSL still has room to improve through scientific, integration, and manufacturing breakthroughs.
