the significant development of LEDs across the world

In India, the impetus for growth will be provided by increasing focus on quality indoor and outdoor lighting. Global bans on usage that countries like Australia have already imposed on the usage of Incandescent lamps as well as the commitment from most developed countries to phase these out by 2015 have further boosted the growth prospects of LED as the preferred lighting source. Longer life and energy efficiency as well as the fact that LEDs provide environment friendly technology are some of the other reasons for the significant development of LEDs across the world.

The main entry barrier is the high upfront costs as well as the lack of awareness. Government interventions in the segment are helping a lot and it is believed that this will lead to better adoption of the technology. In addition, the initiatives taken by the regulatory bodies and the incentivising of the sector by tax laws etc, are also leading to development of the sector.

LED market in India is developing by leaps and bounds and the main activity is in commercial segments. The street lighting segment is also witnessing a spate of activity and the early adapters include the automotive lighting segment, publicity signages and solar lighting segments.

Vice President and General Manager, Active Devices for Finisar Corporation, says, “There are several key features we look for in an automated MOCVD system, and they are well addressed by AIXTRON.The AIX 2800G4-TM reactor provides the best means to create high-performance optical device products that fulfill the necessary requirements of our customers. The backing of the excellent AIXTRON local support team gives us much confidence and security.”
