Abstract

A first device is provided, wherein the first device is an illumination source comprising OLEDs and inorganic LEDs. The first device includes a first light source that has one or more first light emitting devices. Each of the first light emitting devices includes an inorganic light emitting diode (LED) that emits light that has a peak wavelength in the visible spectrum between 400 and 500 nm. The device also includes a second light source that has one or more second light emitting devices. Each of the second light emitting devices comprises an organic light emitting diode (OLED) that emits light that has peak wavelength in the visible spectrum between 500 and 800 nm. The device also includes a driving component. The first light source and the second light source are disposed such that their emissions combine.
