the results already gained in the field of short duration LED applications

Strauss introduce that the green source in a pico-projector producing a 100 lumen brightness must meet the requirements as following: an emission wavelength of 515 nm; an output power of at least led linear high bay light; a wall plug efficiency of 5 percent or more; and, in both the lateral and vertical directions, a single mode output. If a shorter wavelength source is used – for example, a 505 nm laser – the power output requirements are higher.

In close collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration (IZM) Heraeus has continued to work on the design optimization of its SCB substrates for LEDs. Quite apart from the results already gained in the field of short duration LED applications, the focus this time was put on applications of a longer duration. The aim now was to lower the junction temperature TJ of the applied LED chips and so enable a direct readout relating to the overall effectiveness of the thermal management in comparison to other substrate solutions. (The junction temperature is the temperature which arises in the barrier layer and thus its relevance to the ageing process of the semiconductor).

The theoretical FEM simulation had already prescribed at which parameters the junction temperature could be lowered by several degrees Celsius. Armed with this data, together with best practice approaches and optimum simulation results, the engineers laid down the sample substrate and assembled it in line with the predefined design.

The subsequent (de facto) thermal analysis of the led high bay light at the IZM proved that thanks to the optimized choice of material and the simultaneously defined and perfected design the TJ sank by as much as 12 °C in comparison to standard designs for short duration applications when operating under an electrical load of 1.5 W.  This drop in temperature has an extremely positive effect on the durability and brightness of the HBLED.

The factory will replace a much smaller lighting factory

Felder has a comprehensive knowledge of the field of optosemiconductors and decades of management experience with prominent players in the electronics industry.Since 2003, he has filled various management roles in the areas of OLED and LED technology with Osram, where as senior vice president of sales he was lastly responsible for Osram’s worldwide general lighting sales activities. Zumtobel Group CEO Harald Sommerer thinks highly of Felder, “We are delighted that, in Alfred Felder, we have been able to recruit a highly experienced technology expert and far-sighted manager to head up our Components business. With his extensive knowledge of LED and OLED technology, his familiarity with the industry and his leadership skills, he will be able to play a major part in ensuring that Tridonic is fit for the future in this dynamic phase of the technology shift.” The factory will replace a much smaller lighting factory and will include a production shop and an admininstrative block, as well as ...

Innovation in Lighting Symposia and the Lightning Award Presentation

Our show is an example of how co-operating with an international partner, together with a sizeable show investment year after year, benefits the lighting industry," Dr. Pan continued. “We are totally committed to supporting the growth of China's lighting industry. We provide a sales and marketing platform for exhibitors and a forum for industry knowledge exchange. During this year's show we will organise more than 30 seminars, conferences and matchmaking opportunities that suit all levels of lighting professionals. These include special information days featuring China, Taiwan and Japan, the Lighting Design Gallery, Guangzhou international Lighting Technology Symposium, Innovation in Lighting Symposia and the Lightning Award Presentation." Guangzhou Guangya Messe Frankfurt is totally committed to the exchange of industry knowledge to support the growth of China's lighting industry. For example, the close connection with the popular “Alighting” website, magazine...

the global electronics industry to provide more energy-efficient products

Managing Director for Sabik said, “Carmanah’s understanding of energy management is evident in the performance of their short-range solar LED marine lights, and we believe the Carmanah lights will be an excellent complement to Sabik’s marine product family.” Sarvikivi added that he expects future joint product development that will combine the best of Carmanah and Sabik’s technology to bring new products to the marine lighting market. The investment, which was supported by Wirral Council and The Mersey Partnership (TMP), who helped secure additional funding of 300,000 pounds from the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA), is expected to enable SAFC Hitech to strengthen its position as a leading global supplier of TMG and satisfy the growing demand for the material in the production of high brightness LEDs (HBLEDs) for use in applications such as backlighting in flat panel television sets and energy efficient lighting. Reducing energy consumption and extending energy efficiency a...
