It is available in warm white or cool white light

Tier-one suppliers and LED makers alike say that LED adoption in automotive interiors is growing the fastest of all. "Every interior request for a quote we've received from every manufacturer around the world the last two years has had some aspect of LED ambient lighting to it," Vaughan says.With the expected proliferation of hybrids and electric vehicles, LED use is expected to grow faster still over the next decade. On those vehicles, where power is at a premium, engineers are more likely to disregard cost differences and reach for LED technology. "It saves about 400-430 Watts of power across the interior of the vehicle, and about 20 Watts on the interior," Godwin says.

Meanwhile, engineers wanting more brightness per W are getting that, too. In April, Philips Lumileds rolled out the Luxeon Rebel ES, claimed to be the world's first high-efficacy power LED specified to deliver a minimum of 100 Lumens per W. The new breed of brighter products is expected to take LEDs into exterior applications, such as red stop lamps, where they've been used sparingly before.Engineers say that most of the success of LEDs is being realized in luxury- and mid-level vehicles for now. Cadillac's Escalade, as well as selected Lexus and Audi vehicles, are employing LEDs across the board in high-beam, low-beam, daytime running lamps and parking lights. But as prices continue to drop and automakers move to more energy-efficient vehicles, LEDs are expected to migrate toward entry-level cars.

The ULE4000 LightBlox(TM) module is a self-contained, plug-and-play LED light engine that includes the LED, integrated power supply, thermal management, proprietary control circuitry, and optics. It is available in warm white or cool white light. Its fully integrated 120-volt power supply means installing a ULE4000 light fixture is as simple as connecting two leads and the ground wire to an electrical junction box. Light fixture manufacturers can replace traditional ballast, sockets and bulbs with just one part.

while all of hit new record quarterly highs

As a result, to increase greenhouse yields and decrease producers' energy costs, they will team up with Rutgers University, the University of Arizona, Michigan State University, and Orbital Technologies Corp. on the four-year project to improve and evaluate LED lighting for greenhouse use, according to Cary Mitchell, a professor of horticulture and project director for the grant. Total sales from January through September of 2010 hit NT$92.88 billion, up 35% YoY. Meanwhile, operating profit and net profit reached NT$5.67 billion and NT$6.8 billion respectively, with accumulated EPS of NT$3.05 increasing a remarkable 50% YoY. In 3Q10, The Company’s gross margin and operating margin reached 13.9% and 6.7%, up 0.9% and 0.4% QoQ, respectively. Lite-On’s net cash position held steady at NT$11.9 billion, after its recent cash dividend distribution of NT$5 billion. Non-operating items posted a net income of NT$508 million in3Q, with Perlos’ Q3 sales reaching €138 million, up 12% YoY. Perl...

It is extremely rare for the government to ask retailers

Stephan Wittekind, Business Development Director at Traxon, said, “The highlight of this concept is that the fixtures are completely integrated into the semi-transparent structure. Therefore, they are not visible during the day, and the appearance of the stadium is completely different by night.” According to The Yomiuri Shimbun, Japanese government has encouraged major electronics retailers and home appliance makers to voluntarily halt production and sales of incandescent bulbs to save Led linear high bay light power this summer. The government plans to submit a written request under the names of Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Yukio Edano and Environment Minister Goshi Hosono to an industry group, probably sometime this week. The industry side has indicated it will oblige. It is extremely rare for the government to ask retailers and manufacturers to refrain voluntarily from selling and producing specific products.The two ministers plan to send their request to Sho-ene Akar...

Universal Display will develop new technologies and processes for OLED manufacturing

In addition to the patent sale, the 2 companies are engaged in “a strategic relationship,” with strengthened and enhanced alliances between the companies. Fujifilm will expand its business for the supply of Fujifilm's highly functional materials, such as barrier films, conductive films and flexible substrates, to OLED manufacturers globally, including Universal Display's worldwide customer base. Universal Display will develop new technologies and processes for OLED manufacturing. John R. Peeler, Veeco’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Veeco continues to deliver solid results in a soft market. Second quarter revenue was $137 million, and adjusted EBITA and non-GAAP earnings per share were $20 million and $0.37, respectively, with gross margins of 45%. Veeco generated about $19 million in cash flow from operations, ending the quarter with $540 million in cash and short term investments.” Second quarter LED & Solar revenues were $87 million, including $75 mil...
