Introducing a revolutionary, printed LED panel, ideal for low-profile lighting
applications.
The Nth-Light
®
can be safely and easily cut to length for in-field
customization and design. The simple addition of Nth-Connectors, a standard
interconnect cable, and a plug-in power supply creates a brilliant, energy-efficient,
lighting solution, perfect for even the most unique locations!

The Nth-Light
®
is an extremely lightweight,
flexible, printed LED sheet which opens a
whole new world of energy efficient lighting
opportunities. Inside this demo kit, you’ll find
all the components you will need to start
lighting the impossible…
1. The Nth-Light® is designed to be cut using a
simple pair of scissors along the clear gaps of the
strip.
2. Positive polarity of the Nth-Light® is indicated
by yellow text on back side of flex.
3. Polarity of the Inspired LED Nth-Connector is
indicated by +/- markings.
4. Peel adhesive backing from the center of Nth-
Connector and align Nth-Light® anywhere along
the top.
5. Press down until Nth-Connector spikes have
pierced the flex, then bend back the tips to
ensure a secure connection.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 as needed with additional
segments and connectors.
7. Use standard 12” cable to wire from one
completed Nth-Light
®
to another.
8. Provide power to your system by plugging in the
10V power supply, and connecting to the first light
in series.
NthDegree Technologies Worldwide Inc
NthDegree Technology (Nth)
is bringing to market an
innovation in the manufacturing
of semiconductor products.
Our process is based upon
unique semiconductor ink
formulations which can be
printed on standard high
speed printing equipment.
Nth’s printed materials
can currently address lighting.
These devices are printed in
three basic processes.
•
Nths printed materials
start with a standard
LED wafers.
•
The respective wafers
are cut into micro LEDs
devices that are the same
size as ink particles and
are suspended into inks
for printing.
•
The inks are printed on
commercial printing
presses producing the
end product: Nth-Light
®
printed lighting goods.
Patented ink formulas made
with semiconductor devices
Nth-Light
®
Semiconductor wafers
are the starting point.
Roll to roll printing is used to
build the final product.
Nth’s printed lights are moving to
commercial availability. Our lights
are printed on either a flatbed
screen press or a high speed roll-
to-roll printing press. The high
speed press can produce over
6 miles per day of 12 inch wide
rolls of printed lights. They are
ultra thin, flexible and lightweight
with a cost and form factor that is
unique in today’s marketplace.
The ability to print light at high
speeds on low cost printing presses
dramatically changes the reliability,
cost structure, and cost of
installation as well as the
performance of the products
themselves. In lighting this is
opening new market venues
not available with existing
lighting technology. Nth has
prototype lights for several
segments including retail lighting,
automotive, computers, consumer
goods and advertising. To take
advantage of printing press
volumes, the Nth business model
forms partnerships with established
companies in each segment as the
go-to-market vehicle.

ATTRIBUTES
UNIQUE FORM FACTOR:
1
Nth-Light is exceptionally lightweight, thin and flexible.
This facilitates the design of lighting fixtures with both traditional and
non-traditional form factors that are a fraction of the weight and volume
of traditional lighting fixtures.
Nth-Light is very robust and can absorb more shock and abuse than
traditional lighting.
The Nth-Light contains no breakable glass or brittle plastics.
It’s flexible, so it bends instead of breaks.
The robustness of the Nth-Light opens many design possibilities, such as
eliminating the need for replaceable components like the “bulb” in old
traditional lights. The Nth-Light itself becomes one with the fixture. For
example:
A ceiling tile might have an integrated Nth-Light lighting panel.
Nth-Light panels may be integrated into the bottom of a shelf for under-
shelf lighting.
A lamp shade may have any integrated lamp that can connect to a
traditional Edison bulb electrical base.
Nth-Lights are flat, but need not be square. Nth-Lights can be printed in a
variety of shapes. Alternatively, since Nth-Lights are flat, a blocking mask
may be installed over the lamp to produce the desired lit shape. If the light
must still be flexible, the blocking mask may be as flexible as the Nth-Light
substrate.
Features like graphics or colored fluoresors can be cost effectively
added to the lights as translucent overlays or even directly printing on
the light.
Nth-Lights are very attractive for shelf lighting
Brand colors will not be impacted.
Light can be curved for a shaped shelf.
Easy to install.
Reduced heat.
Not likely to be damaged in the product restocking process.
No dead spots associated with LED failure.
The simple build (little electrical infrastructure) allows for easy
inventory control.
Nth-Light’s unique attributes open up opportunities for designers and
architects they have never considered as even possible before.
The Nth-Light may be laminated to a radius surface or other customized
surfaces or shapes.
Intelligent lighting control technologies, such as motion/occupancy
detection and light harvesting, may be easily integrated into Nth-Lights.
Nth-Lights are readily dimmable using a variable current power supply.
