Our Breakthrough
LEC Technology
LECs represent a fundamental shift in how we create light.
Traditional light sources such as LEDs and OLEDs require precise semiconductor manufacturing and vacuum processes which drives up cost and limits customizability.
Using LEC technology (the Light-emitting Electrochemical Cell), we have recently developed a method of manufacturing light emitting devices in its entirety using standard roll-to-roll printing techniques—inkjet and screen printing. A breakthrough that allows LEC light sources with uniquely customizable emission patterns at an ultra-thin and flexible form factor, all at a low cost.
This opens possibilities that were previously impossible: light-emitting labels, glowing packaging, smart cards with integrated displays, and architectural surfaces that illuminate.
Use Cases
Applications
LECs enables entirely new product categories. From smart cards to anti-counterfeiting, printable light unlocks possibilities that didn't exist before.
Authentication & Display
Smart Cards
LECs integrate seamlessly into card form factors. Integrate static light displays into payment cards, access badges, and loyalty cards. Visual authentication, brand highlighting, esthetic illuminated designs — powered wirelessly via NFC.
Brand Differentiation
Packaging & Labels
LECs transform product packaging into an interactive brand experience with light-up elements and labels. Light-up logos, freshness indicators, Authentic Light™ anti-counterfeiting — all in a label-thin format.
Security & Authentication
Authentic Light™
Counterfeiting is a global problem costing brands billions. Authentic Light gives you a powerful new tool: light-based authentication that's impossible to replicate with other technologies. Our patented technology embeds hidden and dynamic light patterns into LEC products — patterns that only appear under activation and require our proprietary technology to produce. No apps. No scanners. Just visible proof of authenticity.
Custom Solutions
Your Vision
The applications shown here are just the beginning. LEC technology is a platform that can be adapted to countless use cases we haven't even imagined yet. If you have a product idea that could benefit from thin, flexible, printable light, we want to hear about it.
Our Story
Origin
LunaLEC was founded as a spin-off from Umeå University, building on decades of pioneering research in organic electronics. Today we translate that science into commercial applications.
