Under terms of the contract, Universal Display will deliver a set of under-cabinet lighting units to the DOE. Each unit will consist of five 6” x 6” white PHOLED lighting panels. The units will be designed to provide comparable performance to existing under-cabinet systems, have a system efficiency of > 60 lumens per watt, and exhibit a significantly thinner form factor than conventional under-cabinet lighting products currently in the market. This thin form factor has the potential to expand the array of possible under-cabinet lighting design concepts and to simplify product installation.This is the second potential commercial lighting application in development by Universal Display. In 2008, the Company began working with Armstrong World Industries on a ceiling-based LED lighting system, also supported, in part, through the DOE Solid State Lighting Program.
The DOE has made a long-term commitment to advance the development and introduction of energy-efficient white lighting sources for general illumination. According to industry estimates, electric bills for lighting alone are over $200 billion per year on a worldwide basis. It has been estimated that by 2016, white OLEDs could generate well over $20 billion in worldwide savings of electricity costs and could save over nine million metric tons of carbon emissions from the U.S. alone.Barco has just announced that it has signed a deal in Abu Dhabi for the delivery of 14 LED displays for the new Yas Marina Circuit. In total 452 square meter of LED will be installed around the track to optimize the fans' viewing experience. On 1 November 2009 this brand new race track will host the F1 season finale on the occasion of the first ever Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The Yas Marina Circuit will host the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in the next seven years, with the first ever Abu Dhabi grand prix taking place on 1 November 2009. To engage spectators and fans in the action, Aldar Properties has purchased 14 Barco SLite LED screens, totaling 452 sqm LED surface. The displays will be spread over the Formula 1 race track grounds and will be a mix of Barco's 10mm and 14 mm SLite outdoor LED displays.The energy-efficient, 9-inch-wide Aurora Borealis LED Fused Glass Wall Sconce (111930), left, uses 10 watts and produces a light output equivalent of a 60-watt incandescent lamp. Iridized black glass is framed in a swirling array of hot White Light as the fixture's shade is suspended by nickel-finished powder coated hardware.

Initial projects have included entertainment
One of the major stumbling blocks in widespread SSL adoption, is the perceived complexity and, therefore, cost and risk of integrating a LED-based light engine into a luminaire: either retro-fitting an existing design or optimizing a new luminaire” said Shaun Oxenham Enfis CEO. “The LEC has been developed over the last twelve months to address this problem. It now provides the skills and resources for Enfis customers to integrate and evaluate very rapidly and so realize the benefit from our smart, compact, efficient SSL light sources with significant reduction in time to market together with reduced cost and risk. Initial projects have included entertainment, task and street lighting, with more in the pipeline already, and feedback to date has been excellent”.
The LEC is staffed by highly skilled engineers and is equipped with mechanical, thermal and optical modelling, together with hardware, software and electronic prototyping, and test and evaluation equipment. This comprehensive suite of capabilities can turn a concept into reality in a fraction of the time normally taken for such activities.
yesterday reported its 4Q09 revenue and forecast better-than-expected first-quarter results. The company scored record revenue of $148.1 million for its fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, representing a 9% increase compared to revenue of $135.9 million reported for the fourth fiscal quarter last year and a 13% increase compared to the fiscal third quarter of 2009. And for fiscal year 2009, the company reported revenue of $567.3 million, which represents a 15% increase compared to revenue of $493.3 million for fiscal 2008.
For its first quarter of fiscal 2010 ending September 27, 2009, Cree targets revenue in a range of $160 million to $166 million.

LEDs provide an optimal spectrum of light for growing plants inside
The company had planned to invest about 150 billion won ($120.6 million) in its domestic LED plant, but Hur said that amount "will be nowhere near enough; our capital expenditure will rise faster than expected". The comapny is considering options to raise cash without hurting the company's financial base.
The company already has plans to issue convertible bonds and bonds with warrants in August to raise 100 billion won in total. While securing cash internally, issuing new shares could be one option, though there was no firm plan for a fund-raising deal in the second half, the executives said.
Product Specialist Matthew Alexander says, "Unlike other lighting options, LEDs provide an optimal spectrum of light for growing plants inside. Just as important, they can be a safer alternative to incandescent light bulbs because they don't generate as much heat."
LED Grow Lights may be more expensive than incandescent options on the surface, but over time they offer real value. Gardeners won't have to change light bulbs as often, as LED Grow Lights last up to 50,000 hours (which equates to more than five years between changes).
"A common misconception is that people need a greenhouse, a lot of space, or a lot of expensive equipment to successfully garden indoors," says Alexander. "With LED Grow Lights, that isn't the case. The LED lights can cover a few square feet or as much as 50 square feet depending on the model. That means consumers can have an indoor garden as big, or small, as they want it to be."
The National Development and Reform Commission of China (NDRC) and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) signed a joint agreement “Green Lights Project” to promote the use of energy-saving lamps (ESLs) in China. China has announced that it plans to gradually phase out incandescent lamps in three years. As a majority of LED chips in China are acquired from Taiwan, this project will certainly serve Taiwan LED chip makers a long-term order on a silver platter.

supporting epitaxial layer metrology on many substrate types
Our customers are leveraging the increased capability of the VerteX system to address challenges in the rapidly-growing HB-LED market. New end-device deployments in area lighting, LCD back-lighting and an increased understanding of the performance and cost-of-ownership benefits of high-brightness LEDs are driving HB-LED development," commented Tom Ryan, Director of the Materials Characterization Business Unit at Nanometrics. "Our PL mapping products are well-positioned to support increased development and rapid production ramps as new high-brightness LED manufacturing technologies come online."
The VerteX PL mapping system provides a combination of metrology technologies to support both process development and production control. The VerteX is capable of supporting epitaxial layer metrology on many substrate types and sizes and, due to the illumination system options, can cover the entire spectrum of LED technologies from UV-LEDs through the visible colors to infra-red. Nanometrics' newest product for HB-LED process control is the RPMBlue. This is targeted at production control of Gallium Nitride (GaN)-based blue HB-LEDs that are increasingly used in LCD back-lighting. The system has been optimized for industry-leading throughput of up to 80 two-inch GaN wafers per hour. Because of the available features and performance, Nanometrics believes its PL mapping systems are used by over 90% of the top-tier HB-LED manufacturers in development and production.
Nanometrics is a leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of high-performance process control metrology systems used primarily in the manufacturing of semiconductors, solar photovoltaics and high-brightness LEDs, as well as by customers in the silicon wafer and data storage industries. Nanometrics standalone and integrated metrology systems measure various thin film properties, critical dimensions, overlay control, topography, and optical, electrical and material properties, including the structural composition of silicon, compound semiconductor and photovoltaic devices, during various steps of the manufacturing process, from front end of line substrate manufacturing through die preparation for packaging.
