the lab would create an excellent research environment

Genesis has begun supplying the engines, which are completed with LED chip, phosphor coating, flip-chip substrate board and thermal substrate, in the fourth quarter of 2011 to LED-lighting manufacturers.Chong said the company has won patents on the four elements of the engine, freeing users from threats of patent lawsuits. With the universal engines, lighting manufacturers can introduce their products quicker and at lower costs than their competitors.Additionally, the company has opened an LED lighting venture to promote its branded lighting products for project and commercial purposes in Taiwan. In mainland China, it is working with several retailers to market its products.Chong noted that as Osram, Philips and GE have only controlled a combined 30% of global lighting market his company sill has an ample room to win a larger slice of the LED lighting market by working with brand-name luminaire manufacturers, a strategy similar to the one that has led to MediaTek’s success in becoming mainland China’s No.1 supplier of mobile phone chipsets.

Meanwhile, the company has just started to enter South Korea and Japan market. And it is also tapping into Turkey and Russia.LedLink Optics designs and manufactures optics for solid-state lighting companies such as Cree, Edison, Philips Lumileds, Nichia, OSRAM Opto Semiconductors, Samsung LED and Seoul Semiconductor.Its product line includes secondary LED lenses in a variety of packages with different beam pattern and size options for use in residential, commercial, street and architectural lighting applications.According to Cheng, the lab will cover passive and active component development from the epitaxy process to chip component manufacturing and testing.The lab, a collaboration between the university's Center For Nanotechnology, Materials Science, and Microsystems and the Institute of Electronics Engineering, is hoping to develop components that will generate green energy and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.Among the components targeted are high-brightness LEDs and high-power, high-voltage transistors, which Cheng described as the keys to developing next-generation lighting systems, electric cars and communications equipment.

In the meanwhile,Cheng also hoped the lab would create an excellent research environment that brings out student's innovative potential.Taiwan National Tsing Hua University has established a new compound semiconductor laboratory for the development of new chip components that will support alternative green energy sources.The historic Schinkel street lights in the city of Leipzig has got an LED makeover with Braun Lighting Solutions of Berlin and Future Lighting Solutions.Future Lighting Solutions helped in the design phase by providing a simulation of the first prototype, implemented at its Lighting Resource Center in Montreal, Canada. It also helped with the selection of electronic lighting components and connectors.The distributor supplied the Luxeon Rebel LEDs manufactured by Philips Lumileds, ensuring consistency of light output at a colour temperature of 2700K across all the LEDs supplied in the production shipments to Braun Lighting Solutions.
