Paper Abstract
Solid-state lighting (SSL) offers a new technology platform for lighting designers and end-users to illuminate spaces
with low energy demand. Two types of SSL sources include organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and light-emitting
diodes (LEDs). OLED is an area light source, and its primary competing technology is the edge-lit LED panel. Generally,
both of these technologies are considered similar in shape and appearance, but there is little understanding of how people
perceive discomfort glare from large area light sources. The objective of this study was to evaluate discomfort glare for
the two lighting technologies under similar operating conditions by gathering observers’ reactions. The human factors
study results showed no statistically significant difference in human response to discomfort glare between OLED and
edge-lit LED panels when the two light sources produced the same lighting stimulus. This means both technologies
appeared equally glary beyond a certain luminance.
