In collaboration with research institutions and private companies, NEDO is working Materials Contributing to Solving Environmental on research and development of technologies that can enable the substitution of Problems from Our Dependence on Oil Packing plants for petroleum as a source of raw materials. Currently Japan mostly relies on Materials Aircrafts To manufacture products in our daily life such as vehicles, home electric imports for most of its resources, but we can see the prospect of a future as a “plant appliances, and household items, many chemical products including plastics resources superpower” where plant-based materials can contribute to reducing the and synthetic fibers are used. The main source of raw materials for such risks posed by oil depletion and global warming. products right now is petroleum oil. In fact, approximately 23% of the overall consumption of petroleum in Japan is used to produce chemicals. Automobiles However, the use of petroleum is always associated with risks like price fluctuations, and it is well known that if we continue to use petroleum it Consumption of petroleum products by use CO2 emissions in Japan by energy source will eventually be exhausted.

    March 23, 2012 Sumitomo Chemical to Participate in Light+Building 2012 with 60-Color Polymer OLED Lighting Sumitomo Chemical announced that it will participate for the first time in “Light+Building 2012”, one of the world’s largest trade fair for lighting and building technology, to be held in Frankfurt, Germany, in April 2012. The Company will be running a booth at the trade fair, inviting the world-renowned Japanese lighting designer Motoko Ishii as its art director, where its polymer OLED lighting will be exhibited, with the theme “The Colors of Japan – The Colors of Harmony”, in an innovative attempt to replicate—by means of lighting—the elegant and refined colors of ancient Japan in a modern day setting of a Japanese traditional tearoom by using the world's most advanced polymer OLED technology. Displayed at the booth will be large-scale lighting panels of about 10 centimeters square each, illuminating in sixty different colors, that are produced by coating everything except for the electrodes with printing technology. Varying shades of color will soothe visitors comfortably to the world of Japanese traditional colors from the distant past. Sumitomo Chemical is the first in the world to have produced successfully the large-scale lighting panels with the printing method in as many as sixty different colors. In addition to OLED lighting capable of generating natural light that is soft and gentle on the eyes, polymer OLED lighting offers its unique advantage of producing a countless number of color shades as well as lessening an environmental impact that can be realized by the simplified manufacturing process, making it the perfect next-generation lighting technology.
