the chip production capacity for white LEDs by the end of 2012

OSRAM Opto Semiconductors will be stepping up its production output significantly by converting its two chip manufacturing facilities to 6-inch wafers while expanding both plants. A new production building is currently under construction in Penang, Malaysia, while in Regensburg, Germany, the available space is being reallocated. The two facilities will each be converting to the new manufacturing technology, introducing 6-inch wafers to replace the current 4-inch wafers. These measures are expected to almost double the chip production capacity for white LEDs by the end of 2012.

With this move, OSRAM Opto Semiconductors is putting itself on track to cash in on the growth potential of international led high bay light and the expansion measures at its Regensburg and Penang production plants will be decisive in securing its international market position. The Penang chip manufacturing plant, which opened nearly two years ago, has been pegged for further expansion and conversion to 6-inch wafers. The total manufacturing area will be raised to around 25,000 sqm in 2012, creating some 400 additional jobs in the process. At the Regensburg plant, the available area is to be reallocated and InGaN (indium gallium nitride) production to be converted step by step from as early as the summer of 2011.

“By expanding our capacities for high-performance InGaN chips, we are consistently consolidating our market position. The LED market harbors great growth potential in many different fields of application and we intend to continue harnessing this,” said Aldo Kamper, CEO of LED Linear high bay light Semiconductors, “The company is an important link in OSRAM’s LED technology value-added chain.The capacity expansion will primarily affect InGaN chips employing thin-film and UX:3 technology, which are required in the production of white LEDs. These will be manufactured on 6-inch wafers from the outset and not on wafers with a 4-inch diameter, as hitherto.

the market leader for industrial LED lighting throughout Europe

Dialight CEO Roy Burton stated: “These new appointments will enable us to drive faster sales growth in the strategically important sector of hazardous area lighting. Now with our new Middle East office we are also well positioned to substantially expand our business in that key region as part of our intention to establish Dialight as the market leader for industrial LED lighting throughout Europe, Asia and the Middle East.”

The Cooper Controls iLumin LED Linear high bay light Switched Relay lighting control panel, which incorporates dimming and switching capabilities in conjunction with real-time power monitoring of each circuit, is the first to use variable relay timing technology that self-adjusts to minimize load inrush current, resulting in extended relay life.

the viability of having LED high bay lights in Singapore

Before this agreement, last year the two companies also received $4,000,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy to design and build the first white LED lighting pilot manufacturing facility in the United States.Under the agreement, Moser Baer Technologies will license Universal Display’s proprietary yaham and other LED technologies and purchase Universal Display’s highly energy-efficient Universal yaham materials for white LED panel manufacturing.In addition, the two companies will also work together in a five-year program to support Moser Baer’s manufacture of white YAHAM lighting products.

Additionally, to further explore the viability of having LED high bay lights in Singapore, JTC will be testing them out at another stretch of road at its upcoming CleanTech Park.JTC has received seven proposals for the test-bed, and it will be assessing them together with the led high bay light. The first round of tests should take place in the third quarter this year.

According to JTC engineering planning division director Koh Chwee, other new estates under JTC’s watch, such as Mediapolis, are potential candidates for more trials.In his opinion, with more rounds of LED Linear high bay light, and as technology improves, LED street lights should be ready to be rolled out on a bigger scale’ in another two to three years’ time in Singapore.

Therefore substrates with non flat surfaces can be patterned easily

PHABLE is a novel mask based photolithography technology that promises to revolutionize production of photonic structures such as photonic crystals, diffraction gratings and anti-reflection surfaces. High-throughput fabrication of such patterns over large areas is required for fabrication of high performance future devices in fields including led high bay light, solar cells and flat-screen displays. In PHABLE a mask is illuminated with a UV beam to form a high resolution image that has a very large depth of focus. Therefore substrates with non flat surfaces can be patterned easily.

The necessary high-resolution mask with the same 4-inch area as the final pattern was produced by DNP on a standard plate. UV photolithography exposures were performed on a PHABLE-R lithography tool made by Eulitha. Photonic crystal patterns consisting of circular holes on a 600-nm period hexagonal lattice were printed in a commercially available photoresist coated on Si wafers. The produced patterns were highly uniform over the whole 4” area of the wafers.

Demonstration of uniform patterning on 4” substrates is an important milestone as most targeted applications require patterning of large areas. For example, the high brightness LED industry is switching to 4” and 6” wafers from the traditional 2” base. Photonic crystal structures that enhance light extraction in LEDs or patterned sapphire substrates that improve performance of LED Linear high bay light grown on them can be fabricated with the PHABLE technology. Similarly, the required substrates for nanowire based LED or solar cell applications can be produced with this technology.

In 2009, Emich VW ranked 2nd in the nation in Volkswagen's 360 Dealership Award for exceptional customer service. In addition to sponsoring numerous community organization and athletic events, Emich LED Linear high bay light is the premier sponsor for World Challenge GTI and the Robb Holland racing team.

the global output value of large backlights

Deaphne Kuo, another PIDA analyst, also estimated that the global output value of large backlights, including applications for televisions and notebooks may approach US$7.3 billion in 2012 from an estimated US$2.98 billion in 2010.

Furthermore, based on technological improvements and the support of governments ,LED lighting will become another factor driving the entire led high bay light around the world, Kuo added.

To complete this project, Phoster Industries cooperated with The SITQ, the real estate arm of the government of the Province of Quebec and owners and managers of PVM, Axxima, the energy and maintenance management company responsible for PVM , and the government owned utility, Hydro-Quebec.

The Phoster LED solution allowed for a savings of 1.5 million kilowatts per year towards which LED Linear high bay light subsidized $0.15 cents/kilowatt as part of their Commercial Rebate Program totaling $225,000 and covering 60% of the cost of the Phoster LED lights.

manufactures and sell fully automated metrology tools for advanced technology

Chris Yan, CEO of InvenLux Optoelectronics was satisfied with JVS’ product, and said that, “Jordan Valley's XRD system will have a key role at our new production line of GaN (blue, green and purple) epi-wafer, for which InvenLux has their own patent."

local governments are considering following the same policy

However, under the circumstances that various local governments followed suit to attract business investment, excess equipment investment intensified the concern of oversupply in the LED industry. Not only has the Chinese Central government been aware of this phenomenon, the financial resource of local governments will deplete gradually. Therefore, Yangzhou has announced that MOCVD fiscal subsidy policy will end in July in 2011, indicating that in order to receive equipment subsidy, manufacturers are required to complete the installation of MOCVD equipment before July 2011. Moreover, other local governments are considering following the same policy.

Generally speaking, the process of MOCVD equipment installation in China in 2010 was slower than expected. Apart from the delay of plants establishment, the oversupply in the latter half of this year also made most led high bay light adopt a wait-and-see attitude. Therefore, to stimulate investment among LED enterprises, several local governments had to specify an end-date in their fiscal subsidies. Therefore, LEDinside expects LED enterprises to install MOCVD equipment before the subsidy deadline, which may lead to another wave of aggressive MOCVD equipment purchase in the first half of 2011.

In the US market, SAS has started a new wafer fab recently, which was expected to produce 300,000 6-inch equivalent wafers. The company estimated US semiconductor wafer business would contribute about LED Linear high bay light to revenues in 2011.But in the solar-grade silicon wafers, the company planed to slow expansion at its production facilities in 2011, which resulted from uncertainty over government subsidies and a more cautious market outlook.

LED lighting systems is still at a nascent stage in India

GlacialLight is about to invite all business and media partners around the world to attend their display at the led high bay light, which will be held at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi, India, 17-19 December 2010.On the display, GlacialLight will provide many of the latest LED Lighting Solutions, from torches, LEDs with dimming functionality and high bay lights, to lamp lights as well as many bulbs. LED tubes, lightbar display lights, panel lights, and streetlight and spotlight solutions will also be on display at GlacialLight's booth.

According to Jaysukh Patel, managing director, Ajanta Group, demand for LED lighting systems is still at a nascent stage in India. The power consumption in LED lighting uses direct current and saves 80 per cent more power as compared to compact fluorescent light (CFL) technology. But price plays a major role in lighting systems as in any other product's case.

“Retail prices for LED lighting are yet to come down as there are hardly any manufacturing units of indicator circuit (IC) for LED lighting systems. Once such manufacturing picks up in the country, the prices will come down and will boost the demand," Patel added.

The group already manufactures switches, wires, multi circuit breakers (MCBs), lamps, tubelights, power savers, telephones, calculators and watches. And it is prepared to wait to offer LED lighting at affordable prices in the country.

Azzurro noted, the new company was planed to choose in Dresden. And the funding was supplied by new partners including LED Linear high bay light, Good Energies and Emerald Technology Ventures and former investor Cedrus Private Equity and IBG Innovationsfonds.

LED thanks to our proven material supply capability

The Chinese LED industry is growing rapidly, with the level of investment during 2009 and the first half of 2010 exceeding that of the past several decades. In 2010 to date, China’s new investments in led high bay light projects total over RMB 70 billion (EUR 7.5 billion).

During 2010 Linde has been awarded gas supply contracts with six major LED manufacturers in China, including three Taiwan invested LED fabs in Jining, Suzhou and Changzhi respectively, as well as Neo-Neon in Yangzhou, Focus Lighting Technology in Suzhou and Walsin United Technology in Xi’an.

which may emerge as a new mainstream item on the Chinese market in 2011

It’s said that new power-efficiency standards for flat-panel TV in China will be implemented from Dec. 1. And it estimated that Taiwanese flat-panel display suppliers AU Optronics and Chimei Innolux Corp. will benefit from this new TV standard.

Due to the influence of the standard, many existing models will have to quit the market, leaving a vacuum led high bay light equivalent to 15% of market demand up for grabs by suppliers with models featuring higher power efficiency.

According to Peng Shuang-lang, executive vice president of AU Optronics, in response to the implementation of the power-efficiency standards, TV firms will carry out closed-out sales for their existing models and purchase new items, a trend which will raise shipment of Taiwanese flat-panel displays to China.The new standards are also likely to promote the demand for LED Linear high bay light, which may emerge as a new mainstream item on the Chinese market in 2011.

China for its LED lighting products in less than two years since it entered that field

Reportedly, Taiwan Delta Electronics has acquired orders from major foreign buyers for LED lighting products, and it expects led high bay light sales to increase 10 fold in 2011.According to an interview from the Central News Agency, Roland Chiang, director of Delta Electronics' solid-state lighting division, said the company has generated large sales in Japan, the United States, Europe and China for its LED lighting products in less than two years since it entered that field.

However, Chiang didn’t disclose any information about which foreign buyers booked the orders. The local media guessed that it LED Linear high bay light likely has received orders from multinational firms such as Hitachi and YAHAM.

Chiang pointed that Japan is expected to account for 40 percent of the company's total LED lighting sales in 2010, but the figure is likely to fall to 30 percent in 2011 as sales to China grow.In comparison, China market is expected to take up 30 percent of the company's total LED lighting sales for 2010 and grow beyond that in 2011.

The Energy Star label will enhance its brand to the public

At present,SavWatt has teamed up with the leaders in LED training, Clean Edison, to offer this LEED AP certification at SavWatt's Baltimore, led high bay light headquarters.In the meantime, SavWatt has also become an approved member of Energy Star. The Energy Star label will enhance its brand to the public.

Plus, SavWat has also been registered with the DOE and its Lighting Facts Label. This latest accomplishment along with the launch of its factory for LED tubes in January 2011 has made SavWatt the leader and brand in LED lighting. Dialight became the first winner in a new category at the 11th Annual techMARK Awards dinner to recognise the success and achievements of the technology industry over the past year and showcase the innovative companies that form the techMARK community.

Dialight shone through to scoop the prestigious 2010 techMark award for Sustainability at London's Intercontinental Hotel last night against a strong short list that included Pace, Genus and Logica.

Dialight is the world leader in applied LED (light emitting diode) lighting technology which is capable of delivering measurable savings in power and carbon emissions as well as offering a lifetime that can be five to fifteen times longer than conventional lights. Working with optional smart control software, LED Linear high bay light semiconductor technology enables cities, commerce and industry to take control of their power consumption, reduce overhead and effect radical extensions to maintenance cycles. These savings have often been overlooked, as costly wave and wind projects have dominated media interest, but awareness of the benefits of LED lighting technology is now gradually breaking through as cities around the world seek ways to become more energy efficient and to reduce their carbon footprint.

the company pointed out that demand for TV backlighting

QD Vision is a quantum dot product company that delivers highly differentiated lighting and display solutions. QD Vision's Quantum Light? platform enables step-change advances in current generation solutions, such as LCDs, LEDs and even OLEDs, and ultimately a significant leap over these technologies. Leveraging a first-tier patent position in nanotechnology originating at MIT, QD Vision is a privately held company based in Watertown, Mass.TFT LCD driver IC maker Himax Technologies 3Q10 revenues were US$138 million, down 26.3% sequentially but still meeting its adjusted forecast. And gross margin increased 2.5pp to 22.9%. Quarterly net income came to US$400,000. Non-driver IC products accounted for 8.4% in 3Q revenues.

The company thought the decline result mainly affected from china-based customers raised inventory levels in 2Q but the government unexpectedly introduced tighter regulations on white-box handsets. But led high bay light was confident that capacity expansion by China-based panel makers would bring new opportunities for driver IC makers.

With customers having success in clearing inventory, Himax's non-driver IC portfolio included LCOS pico projectors, and CMOS image sensors, and white-light LED driver ICs, started receiving a new order, through its subsidiary.Although the company expected flat sequential growth for 4Q, small-to-medium size driver IC products should still see stable growth.

In November, the company pointed out that demand for LED Linear high bay light was picking up on which revenues depended, but the growth was not as significant as in 2009, and December revenues were expected to drop as clients went through inventory stock checks.

the rising number of new clients

As growing adoption of LEDs for large-size backlighting and general lighting applications, MPI expected sales of its led high bay light tools to grow in 2011, and the company thought the market penetration rate for LED applications in the global lighting market would reach 50% by 2015.In the wafer probe cards, the company also optimistically predicted its sales would be up by testing demand for 12-inch wafers and the rising number of new clients.

Epistar's October revenues decreased by 7% sequentially but increased 34% on year to NT$1.71 billion (US$56.64 million). Accumulated revenues from January to October totaled NT$16.66 billion, up 64.5% on year. The reason why the October revenues dropped was weaker than expected demand for notebook and TV backlighting, as well as the traditional weak season for small- to medium-size products.

On average, nearly one-third of a Walmart store’s energy consumption is tied to lighting. In addition to substantial energy led high bay and maintenance cost savings, the new LED parking lot lighting significantly reduces the greenhouse gas emissions associated with Walmart Puerto Rico’s operations.
