LEDs will make virtually any object and surface a light source

By awarding the Orbeos OLED panel, the jury chose a completely new type of light source, which enables a glare-free, soft light with superior energy efficiency at the same time. The Orbeos is only 2.1mm thick and weighs 24g. Unlike conventional LEDs, OLEDs are not point light sources but surfaceemitting diodes, which allow for unconventional luminaire designs. The led high bay warm white light is similar to that of an incandescent bulb but requires only half the energy and lasts five times as long.

OSRAM presented the first transparent OLEDs at the leading international Light + Building show in 2010. They open up a whole number of innovative application options, such as windows that light at night. In future, LEDs will make virtually any object and surface a light source.

According to Dave Doherty, Digi-Key's vice president of semiconductor product, the partnership between Digi-Key and ON Semiconductor is based on each company's commitment to providing customers with high quality semiconductor products, and they are proud to be an authorized distributor for ON Semiconductor's products and to honor them with this award recognizing our successful partnership.

Jeff Thomson, ON Semiconductor's vice president of led high bay light also pointed that, they have partnered with Digi-Key for seven years and they are honored to receive the award. It further demonstrates their mutual dedication to their customers. With Digi-Key's assistance, ON Semiconductor will continue to supply high performance, energy efficient silicon solutions to today's highly competitive electronics market.

Despite Nichia planned to enter into LED markets in China

This emerging potential for green LED applications follows on the heels of an announcement of applications for blue LEDs on April 25, 2012. NGK is now poised to apply its technology to the inverters used in hybrid and electric vehicles, power amplifiers for base stations of wireless communication, and other power devices. To this end, NGK will take steps to further reduce defect density for its GaN wafers, and to produce larger wafers that are greater than 6 inches in diameter. Despite Nichia planned to enter into LED markets in China and enlarge its market share there, it has been foiled by simmering anti-Japan sentiment in China due mainly to the Diaoyutai island issue, so is considering to cooperate with Taiwanese enterprises for further development. And two Taiwanese companies, including Hon Hai Group and Epistar, will be part of the joint venture. According to senior Nichia executives and based on positive outlook towards widespread use of LED lighting, the firm focused on the amp...
