the increasing volume of LEDs required by the lighting industry

We expect that the pace of LED adoption will require all other manufacturers to follow our lead and adopt similar strategies. Their challenge will be to achieve the high yields and quality levels that we have already demonstrated.”It’s said that each 150 mm wafer produces four times the number of LEDs as the current 3-inch wafers. The transition to a larger wafer size is broadly viewed as a critical path to providing the increasing volume of LEDs required by the lighting industry and ensuring a supportable and secure supply chain.

Philips Lumileds will continue its current wafer production while ramping production of its 150 mm capacity to meet increasing demand for high quality, high performance LEDs from the lighting, automotive, and consumer electronics segments. LG Innotek, a subsidiary of led high bay light, has developed a partnership with lighting firm Zumtobel Group of Dornbirn, Austria to transfer high-volume business in LED backlights for LCD screens to the field of professional lighting.

Under the cooperation, both of the partners will respectively contribute their experience in technology, applications and production, especially in the use of LEDs as point light sources to produce flat-area lighting. And they also intend to use their strengths to market LED products.Asides from its existing LED Linear high bay light, the lighting components brand within the Zumtobel Group will also be offering LED products from LG (above all, LED modules and converters for professional lighting) via its own sales channels.
