PIXIE Technology
PIXIE, the latest offering from Margik, represents a leap forward in lighting technology. Photonics Innovation for Xcellent Illumination and Efficiency (PIXIE) integrates cutting-edge components to illuminate both indoor and outdoor spaces. This innovative solution boasts a sustainable organic battery, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology, and flexible recyclable circuitry. Moreover, PIXIE ensures durability through novel encapsulation, establishing itself as a truly one-of-a-kind lighting solution that aligns with Margik's commitment to innovation and sustainability.
Organic LEDs (OLEDs)
From the start of the 1950s to the late 1980s, OLEDs came on the scene as an alternative solution to producing light, by passing an electric current through an organic compound. In simple terms, an OLED works by having a layer of organic material sandwiched between an anode (Positive charge) and a cathode (Negative charge). The composite materials are then placed on a substrate which is usually either made of glass or plastic. When an electric charge is passed through the OLED, the organic material in the middle of the device becomes excited and produces light as a result.
Power component
Our PIXIEs are typically incorporate a polymer-based battery but are not limited to them exclusively. They are able to have this degree of flexibility due to our proprietary technology which enables a substantial reduction of power consumption.
