LED backlights to be stronger than expected this quarter

The company’s chairman, Alpha Wu, estimates global demand for LED backlights to be stronger than expected this quarter, noting the company has secured orders to keep production lines humming at least until December mostly due to a brisk TV market in China driven by government subsidies.

Wu said when the company developed patented lenses for direct-view backlights two years ago made the company the joke the industry for adding to TV thickness, but felt such lens design made LED TVs more competitive.

Widespread replacement of cold cathode fluorescent lamp with LED as the primary backlight for LCD panels proves the success of the company’s investment in lens technology.This year, the company’s sales will be mostly driven by backlights for tablet PCs, laptops and TVs. In tablet PC market, the company has reportedly penetrated supply chains of Google, Amazon, Asustek and Microsoft. So far, the company has filled 30-40% of global market for LED backlights for non-Apple tablet PCs.

The specialty crop industry plays an enormously important part in American agriculture

The USDA Specialty Crops Research Initiative Award will include $2.44 million from the USDA and an equal amount of in-kind contributions of equipment and services from industry partners. The project is titled "Developing LED Linear high bay light Technology and Practices for Sustainable Specialty-Crop Production." Merrigan pointed out that” The specialty crop industry plays an enormously important part in American agriculture and is valued at approximately $50 billion every year. These projects will be key to providing specialty crop producers with the information and tools they need to successfully grow, process, and market safe and high-quality products." In the process of the project, Mitchell will test led high bay light on high-wire tomatoes. He believes that using LED lights on the sides of plants will increase photosynthesis and flowering, improving yield. Roberto Lopez, an assistant professor of horticulture, will work with about 20 species of bedding pla...

the color always varies even if the products are produced in the same lot

PowerSecure’s plan to exercise its option to increase its ownership of EfficientLights from 67% to 100% recognizes the highly successful results EfficientLights has posted to date, its strong backlog of orders for 2010, and its strong prospects for future growth. The transaction is expected to be accretive, and will involve the issuance of PowerSecure common shares in exchange for the remaining one-third minority interest in EfficientLights. The number of shares to be issued in exchange for the remaining one-third interest will be 1,000,000 shares, provided that if the average closing price of the PowerSecure shares over the ten days preceding the transaction is less than $10.00 per share, then the number of shares delivered increases to maintain a transaction value of $10.0 million. After the exercise of the EfficientLights option, EfficientLights will become a wholly-owned subsidiary and the Company will realize 100% of the EfficientLights profit, and will no longer reduce its net in...
