the company to expand its businesses into the upstream sector of LED industry

Foxconn did not specify what sector of the LED supply chain it plans to invest in, but most people believe it is LED lighting fixtures.

Other LED companies stated that Foxconn’s previous endeavor to break into the LED industry proved unsuccessful. Whether or not the company’s second attempt will succeed remains to be seen.

Foxconn’s venture capital firm successfully landed a slot on the board of Tera Xtal Techonlogy. Foxconn has subsidiary companies in thermal dissipation and LED package fields, allowing the company to expand its businesses into the upstream sector of LED industry. Currently the company also plans to make its way into the LED street lamp market.

Through its subsidiary company Foxconn Far East, Foxconn increases the capital of its electronic company in Suzhou, China, whose major products are socket and carrier-line systems, by US$56 million.

Lighting is poised to launch its solar LED lighting series in 2012

According to the company’s directors, the company makes full use of its unique heat sink and optoelectronic integration technologies to work out these high-power LED lights particularly for use in special working environments. And its 200W LED high bay lights have been widely adopted by mining companies in Africa and Australia to replace 500W mercury-vapor lights, while the 500W LED flood lights, featuring high brightness of over 30,000 lumens, have been credited as world’s only model that is functionally replaceable to 1,500W metal halide lamps.

Originally, the company is engaged in making optical discs, and when the market for optical discs has shrunk, it turns to LED lights. To fend off existing large-sized players in the new marketplace, the company’s directors said that it has mainly engaged itself in high-power models that call for higher technologies to carve out its niches. Presently, 200W-above models make up the majority of the company’s LED light portfolio.

Additionally, to boost its profile in the segment, LT Lighting is poised to launch its solar LED lighting series in 2012, which, given the solar cells effectively exposed to sunlight for a day, can keep working for three nights when running out of battery power with three-year warranty for the series as well as competitive prices.

Moving forward, the company is to penetrate the market for LED lights in developed countries as Germany and Switzerland in the short term.

Mitsubishi Electric have already to stop production of incandescent bulbs

According to Panasonic, the number of LED bulbs produced by the company has achieved to 48, however, the number of incandescent bulbs has greatly dropped from 207 in 2008 to 4. In the mean time, its competitors Toshiba and Mitsubishi Electric have already to stop production of incandescent bulbs.

Since 1936, the output of incandescent bulbs manufactured by Panasonic has amounted to 3.3 billion. And lighting has 20% share in the whole electric power demand in Japan. If all of incandescent bulbs are replaced by LEDs or energy lightings, it will greatly reduce the consumption of electric power. Currently, the share of low efficient lights achieves to 60% in Japanese lighting market.

Hai pointed out that a sign of the general decline was South Korea's launch of a low-price strategy to gain market share, followed by the adjustment downward of prices by distributors in the United States in June. and after a price reduction of 40 percent globally in 2011, LED product prices will fall another 20-30 percent in 2012.

their engineering efforts on advanced technology development

That Windows 8 is set to arrive in the near future raises further possibilities regarding the types of contributions GaN substrates bring. As an example, consider the fact that 20% of the Ultrabooks currently employing touch panels reportedly experience weakened brightness upon frequent use of the touch screen. A highly capable LED chip made from GaN substrates, in essence, can be utilized to amend issues like these in addition to improving resolution performance for devices like the Macbook Pro or enhancing displays for tablets like Microsoft’s soon to be released Surface.

these unpatterned wafer inspection systems are designed to meet the demanding defect and surface quality characterization requirements of the 20nm node and beyond, enabling control of the manufacturing process for 450mm polished silicon and epitaxial silicon substrates. The Surfscan SP3 450 also delivers critical capability for manufacturers of 450mm process equipment, such as wet clean tools, CMP pads, slurries and polishers, film deposition tools and annealing systems.

“Optimization of wafer quality and cleaning performance are important first steps toward demonstrating the potential economic benefits of the wafer size migration,” said Hans Lebon, fab manager at imec, a leading nanoelectronics research center in Leuven, Belgium. “Wafer manufacturers need to deliver substrates with pristine surfaces to meet chipmakers’ tight specifications. Equipment manufacturers need to ensure that they are not adding defects; that cleaning processes are effective; and that film quality is carefully controlled over a larger wafer area. The new Surfscan SP3 450 inspection system will help imec characterize the defectivity and surface quality of the wafer, map film thickness and roughness uniformity, and even identify annealing issues. We feel that it’s a critical enabling tool for the transition to 450mm.”

“Whether their wafers are 300mm or 450mm in diameter, our customers will need the performance that the Surfscan SP3 can deliver at the 20nm node and beyond,” said Ali Salehpour, senior vice president and general manager of the Surfscan / ADE division at KLA-Tencor. “The SP3 remains the only unpatterned inspection platform in the industry to use sensitivity-enabling deep ultra-violet (DUV) illumination, and it is the only tool of its kind with the ability to generate high-resolution maps of surface quality. Another advantage of the 450mm version of the Surfscan SP3 is that the performance and reliability of its optics and algorithms have already been proven on the more than fifty 300mm SP3’s installed at advanced development and production sites around the world. Confidence in their inspection platform will allow our customers to focus their engineering efforts on advanced technology development.”

Ontario are going to make LED streetlights transitions to reduce

And with Nexus 7 scheduled for launch this month, Unity begun shipping  LED backlights at least two to three months ago. Since April, Unity has shipped over three million LED backlights for Nexus 7, and its shipments for “non-Apple” tablet computers are expected to reach 10 million units in 2012.

Unity is a major LED backlight supplier to Asus. This year non-Apple tablet computers are expected to take 30~ 40% market share to drive Unity’s LED backlight shipments to 10 million units this year, to generate demand for about 300 million LED chips.

Cities in northeastern Ontario are going to make LED streetlights transitions to reduce their electricity bills and save taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars.Sudbury plans to move to LED bulbs gradually, and will take a few years to do so. But over in North Bay, the light bulb change will be much faster. North Bay will spend $2.3 million to make every streetlight bulb to LED, by the end of 2012.

John Severino, North Bay's manager of environmental services, said the public doesn't pay much attention to street lighting. He said, "It's probably one of those things you don't really notice, except when the light goes out.” But Severino says once every bulb has been changed, the city's power bill should be $200,000 lighter."It's not one of those items that is talked about very much, but realizing savings in today's environment is very important,’ he said.

The Whanganui River is New Zealand’s third longest river and holds special significance in Māori culture. At the mouth of the river is Wanganui, an area renowned for culture, heritage, the Wanganui National Park and river adventures. The rich history of Wanganui is displayed throughout the city center in its beautifully conserved heritage buildings and tree-lined avenues. One of the few road bridges across the Whanganui River is the Wanganui City Bridge.

The Wanganui District Council embarked on a trial of different LED light sources as an alternative to conventional technology used for the Wanganui City Bridge. Besides improved illumination for this key roadway, the district council aimed to explore alternatives that would conserve precious energy resources.

With the aim of providing the same light levels on the ground while offering adequate savings to justify the replacement of the conventional light sources, Evolve NZ Ltd, an engineering firm in Sydney, provided the district council with a solution using GE’s 80W R150 LED lamps. The fittings have the backing of a local supplier in New Zealand and the support of GE Lighting.

because prices of energy-saving lamps will be lowered with the subsidies

Wang Hong, director of the Engineering Research Center for Semiconductor Lighting at South China University of Technology, pointed out that, "Such a large subsidy will speed up the consolidation of the Led linear high bay light industry, while some small and medium-sized LED companies will be possibly forced to shut down."

Furthermore, Wang noted that large lighting producers with advanced technology in LED and energy conservation will benefit the most from the supportive program, because prices of energy-saving lamps will be lowered with the subsidies, which will enhance their competitiveness.

According to the 12th five-year plan (2011-15) for the semiconductor lighting sector released by the Ministry of Science and Technology in May, the value of LED lighting industry will reach 500 billion yuan by 2015, and the authorities will foster the development of a few large companies with core technologies. By 2015, there will be a maximum of 30 leading LED companies in the country.

However, small and medium-sized companies are thought to benefit less from the program. According to The Guangzhou-based Information Times newspaper reported earlier this month, the country now has over 8,000 LED companies, with many small and medium-sized companies on the verge of closure due to intensified competition. Huang Feng, a salesman at the LED high bay light showed his opinion that,"Though the subsidies will help cut the prices of LED lamps, I don't think the sales will rise on the whole, due to severe overcapacity in the sector.

representing a significant milestone on the road to interchangeability

The Infusion LED Module is a completely tool free, interchangeable modular system which is more flexible and built for the future.  The Infusion products are the first GE Lighting Zhaga-compliant LED modules, representing a significant milestone on the road to interchangeability.

With higher lumen output packages and CRI options, plus the ease of installation, these modules represent a major breakthrough in commercial lighting technology, expanding potential applications for LED lighting solutions in retail, museum, office and other environments where light quality is vital to the user experience.

“These specifications are the path forward for LED modules and fixtures that can truly transform the way we light commercial and residential spaces,” says John Strainic, global product general manager at GE Lighting. “Lighting designers and specification professionals around the world now have more freedom to think big because GE and the industry have progressed toward standards based on specifications established by the Zhaga Consortium.”

while showing to advantage the attractive product displays to maximize sales opportunities

For the past year, GE Lighting completed the installation of its LED high bay light Ceramic Metal Halide Lamps and Magnetic Ballasts Systems in 500 ANTA retail stores. The new lights create a conducive ambience for shoppers while showing to advantage the attractive product displays to maximize sales opportunities. The new lighting solution utilizing GE PAR30 Ceramic Metal Halide Lamps replaces existing store illumination which uses Tungsten Halogen Lamps. GE’s new lighting solution will generate an estimated savings of about RMB10.22 million per annum in terms of energy usage and maintenance. This translates to a payback period of 1.96 years.

Ms. Li Yumin,Manager of ANTA Flagship Store, Suzhou added: “We have enjoyed working closely with GE Lighting over the years to enhance the retail store expeience for our customers. With GE’s new lighting solution, our retail stores look very vibrant and the merchandise are more attractively displayed to advantage. Majority of our customers have also given very positive feedback on the new look at our stores.”

PAR30 produces highly efficient compact light sources with good color consistency through life. This is achieved by using the unique 3-part ceramic arc-tube design which provides higher durability resulting in better reliability. It has a long life of up to 13000hours and operates well on standard metal halide ballast with a high 80+ color rendering index (CRI). PAR30 can be widely applied to retail, offices, architectural floodlighting, amenity areas and hotels.

CMH lamp to provide long life & reliable system, passes TW130 test with compact size which is easy for installation. The product also carries thermal protection to prevent overheat of ballast at the end of lamp life for the concern of safety operation. It’s the perfect choice of the led high bay system as control gear working with GE’s star CMH lamp.

the brightness in smartphone applications so embedded projectors with a system

The state-of-the-art lighting system, which is aimed at brightening the bridge and picking out its architectural features, had its first switch-on last night.Coloured bulbs, which vary in intensity, beamed from the central led high bay where giant Olympic Rings and the Paralympic Agitos, the swirling symbol of the Paralympics, will shine during the London 2012 Games.

An integrated miniature projector that can display images on a much larger surface than existing displays is the next giant leap for smartphones and cameras. This is known as embedded projection and uses LEDs as the light source. The greatest challenge so far for lighting technology has been the limited efficiency of the green light emitting diodes. This is because high brightness is essential if the projected image will be seen with ambient light. The Osram Ostar Projection Cube from Osram Opto Semiconductors is the perfect answer.

Efficient LEDs for red and blue light have been available for some time but LEDs that produce green with acceptable output have been rare. The new Osram Ostar Projection Cube from Osram Opto Semiconductors has now plugged this important gap. At 110 lumen per watt (lm/W) it is much more efficient than all other previously available green LEDs in the embedded projection sector.

For the first time, the Osram Ostar Projection Cube enables high output to be achieved in embedded projectors. "The new LED almost doubles the brightness in smartphone applications so embedded projectors with a system brightness of up to 25 lumen are possible", said Wolfgang Schnabel, Marketing Manager Projection at Osram Opto Semiconductors. This means that the LED high bay light is clearly visible even with ambient light and, thanks to the efficiency of LED technology, the projector can also be used in mobile applications with limited battery capacity.

the Louvre Museum in balancing environmental

Toshiba has expanded its cooperation with the Louvre Museum to replace part of the interior lighting of the Louvre with its own LED lighting. It’s the Phase 2 of a renovation project that Toshiba and the Louvre Museum have cooperated since 2010.

During the Phase 2, the Louvre Museum will see renovation of LED lighting in important interior spaces. It includes specific exhibit lighting for Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa , and for the Red Rooms, which display famous masterpieces such as Jacques-Louis David's Consecration of the Emperor Napoleon I and Coronation of the Empress Josephine , as well as the Napoleon Hall, the Louvre's main entrance.

As part of the project, a dedicated lighting system will be installed for the Mona Lisa, and the Red Rooms' ceiling fixtures will be converted to LED by the end of May 2013. Lighting in the Napoleon Hall is expected be converted to LED by the first half of 2014.

Under a partnership agreement with the Louvre (term:June 30)(term:2010 to December 31)(term:2023), Toshiba has already lit up parts of the Louvre's exterior, including I.M. Pei's Pyramid. The implementation of the second phase of the project is testament to the successful collaboration between Toshiba and the Louvre Museum in balancing environmental and aesthetic considerations during the exterior lighting renovation phase.

Part of the LED lighting replacement work, which included the Pyramid, Pyramidion and the Colbert Pavilion, was completed last December, and installation of LED lighting for the whole of Cour Napoleon, the first phase of lighting renovation, was completed on May 12. It has taken approximately two years, since the project commenced in June 2010, for all the lighting in the Cour Napoleon to be converted to LED. Renovation of LED lighting in the Cour Carre is also scheduled to complete in 2013.

sustainable products in the often crowded marketplace

TüV Rheinland will issue Green product mark to the certified product, which can assist companies in demonstrating their corporate commitment and products’ international competitiveness to brands and retailers. In the other hand, the mark can give end consumers and buyers guidance in identifying green and sustainable products in the often crowded marketplace.

Lighting Science Group Corporation,announced that it has completed the final round in a series of private placements totaling approximately $140 million in equity funding and commitments, of which approximately $88 million is new equity funding and commitments and approximately $52 million represents the conversion of certain bridge financings occurring since the fourth quarter of 2011.

The proceeds from the new equity funding and commitments will be used to finance the Company's growth, expand its manufacturing capabilities, and enhance its leadership position in developing innovative energy-efficient LED lighting products for consumer and commercial applications in both the public and private sectors. This new round of funding will help the Company meet the growing demand for products from its distribution networks, including commercial networks (such as real estate owner/operators, retailers, and hospitality), public sector networks (such as the military and municipalities), and consumer networks (such as large-volume home improvement centers). Additionally, approximately $10 million will be used to retire a related-party obligation.

I am delighted that we have worked with YAHAM Lighting

The good news is that since project works completion we are achieving our energy reduction target with savings on-going.  We are also delighted with the improved light levels and uniformity within the car park.”

He added: “To know that this installation is not only the most cost effective and to the highest quality, an added bonus is that these world-class technology LED light fittings are assembled here in the Borough of Wigan, creating skills and employment for local people”

The Leader of Wigan Council Lord Peter Smith added: “I am delighted that we have worked with YAHAM Lighting, a leading local high tech company, to light the Water Street Car Park. “We are all winners. We get the benefit of fuel efficiency and we support a great local business.”

Wigan Council’s Carbon and Energy Manager Janet Ackary said: ''This initiative is one of a number of efficiency projects that we are delivering across the councils diverse building stock, including in offices, supported living units, market halls and schools.

According to the program, Hubbell Lighting will utilize its four different types of LED outdoor pedestrian lighting fixtures to replace 250 watt high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamped street lights known as cobra-heads, and 215 watt mercury-vapor pedestrian post-top fixtures along the sidewalks on the Hyatt Regency block of Main Street between Beattie Place and East North Street. The four types include Parkway Square, Cubic Indirect, Providence and Promenade.

The light power of the LED is retained

The mechanism behind this extraordinary development is the redistribution of color by means of “quantum dots”. The ability to tune the color of a quantum dot offers a way to redistribute the harsh LED light by placing a specially designed layer of quantum dots in front of the LED lamp thereby effectively transforming a portion of the overly abundant LED blue light into a warmer red light. The overall effect of the quantum dots is to produce illumination that is much closer to natural light.

This ability to redistribute color using a quantum dot is extraordinary. The fact that the conversion efficiency from turning blue light into red, or orange, or yellow is almost one-hundred percent was the final breakthrough. The light power of the LED is retained, only its color is changed. QD Vision uses this mechanism to manufacture a quantum dot thin-film-plate optic that is placed over the LED (refer to photo).

The QDVision Optic uses photoluminescence to achieve QLED performance. Photoluminescence occurs when incident light excites the quantum dot to emit. However, quantum dots can also be excited electrically (electroluminescence) and this characteristic opens up another realm of marketing possibilities. In fact, the company was recently awarded a 1.38 million dollar contract by the U. S. Department of Defense to develop specialized devices based on electroluminescent quantum dots.

QD Vision’s achievement in quantum dot nanotechnology has led to the creation of a more natural light that requires less power. In addition, the color of the light is precisely tunable. This breakthrough has opened the door to new possibilities in energy conservation.

the traditional light sources that it is designed to replace

Lighting the Empire State Building has been a technical challenge and aspiration for us, and one that we have been working on with the ESB for years,” said Jeff Cassis, general manager of Led linear high bay light Color Kinetics.  “We have been developing our LED technology  to create a solution that could achieve the right light levels and design for the building’s façade, while keeping true to the building’s identity as an iconic symbol of New York and building innovation.  The result is a unique LED lighting system that creates as much light as the traditional light sources that it is designed to replace, yet one that can be adapted on the fly to redefine the New York City skyline.

The system was ordered in the fourth quarter of 2011 and will be delivered in the second half 2012 as part of a project co-financed by the European Union titled "Physics as the basis for new technologies – development of modern research infrastructure at the Faculty of Physics of the University of Warsaw”.AIXTRON Europe's service support team will install and commission the system at a dedicated cleanroom facility within the Institute of Experimental Physics of the University of Warsaw’s Faculty of Physics.

According to the company, the sales came in not from a whole year of operation but from manufacturing LED bulbs for 9 months during the period.The LED market is expected to grow manifold over years, so the growth for NTL Electronics is also going to be exponential. Therefore, the company garnered over 5% of the total sales of LED lamps Led high bay light Electronics has also entered into a JV with Lemnis Lighting, the global LED major from The Netherlands, to design, produce and sell energy efficient, LED lighting solutions for India and the global market.

Toshiba has also made an equity investment in Bridgelux with the intent to jointly pursue an innovative technology in the Solid State Lighting (SSL) space. This investment will further advance both companies’ efforts in the SSL industry, with the view to boost Bridgelux’s GaN-on-Silicon LED chip technology development efforts based on Toshiba’s advanced silicon process and manufacturing technology development efforts.

Lutron EcoSystem controls was instrumental in our choice of LED lighting

Working with Cree, we’re able to expand our system networks by combining their innovation and leadership in the LED arena with our 50-year history as a leader in light control and total building solutions,” said Eric Lind, vice president of global specifications at Lutron. “This capability of enabling Lutron EcoSystem technology by embedding a chip into the driver of an Led high bay light concerns about system compatibility, brings digital intelligence to the control of LEDs, and showcases Lutron’s open networks. Lutron EcoSystem controls have the ability to directly connect to Lutron’s complete line of wired and wireless systems as well as other building protocols, such as BACnet, to allow seamless control and energy saving capability for our customers.”

“Cree's ability to work seamlessly with our installed Lutron EcoSystem controls was instrumental in our choice of LED lighting,” said Dr. Mitchel Rosen, chief technology officer, School of Engineering and Applied Science, University of Virginia."

According to Cree analysis, Cree CR Troffers equipped with Lutron EcoSystem technology can increase luminaire lifetime up to 50 percent and substantially increase lumen maintenance factors. This calculation is for typical buildings with Lutron lighting control systems, where the average output level of troffers is around 70 percent when typical lighting efficiency strategies such as daylight harvesting, personal control and high-end trim are used.

the amount of rare earths which is necessary to make LED products

LEDs were designed for emission at 278nm and measured independently at ARL. SETi says the emission of 9.8mW at Led linear high bay light is the highest value ever reported for an LED shorter than 365nm at this forward current, and 30mW at 100mA.

According to Frans van Houten, CEO of Royal Philips Electronics, “We have launched some innovation projects in order to become less dependent on rare earths.” Mr van Houten explained creating the Led high bay light products will remain dependent on rare earths, it being a vital component to its efficiency. But such dependence can be lessened.

In his opinion, people cannot eliminate it of course. But in their labs thay have been able to find a way to significantly reduce the amount of rare earths which is necessary to make LED products.

Rare earths play an important role in high-tech industries, as they are widely used in manufacturing applications including aerospace, consumer electronics, automotive and telecommunications. They are abundant. But because of their geochemical properties, rare earths are dispersed and not often found in concentrated and economically exploitable forms.
