Puri photoelectric and Toshiba Co in 8 inch silicon based Gan LED chip breakthrough

LED lighting technology leading and solutions to developers and manufacturers Bridgelux company and the world's leading semiconductor manufacturer Toshiba Co announced today, reached a cooperation agreement within a few months at the beginning of the two companies, the two companies jointly developed the industry's top 8 inch silicon Gan LED chip. The chip is only 1.1 mm, up to 614mW in transmit power voltage is lower than the current 350mA 3.1V. In the face of the global LCD panel and lighting systems on the growing demand for LED chips, and Toshiba Co will further accelerate the pace of R & D in this field.

Toshiba Co injection of energy, designed to jointly develop solid state lighting (SSL) in the field of innovative technology. This investment will further promote the two companies in the SSL industry, the pace of progress, with the help of advanced silicon technology and manufacturing technology advantage of Toshiba Co, a substantial increase in the development of company Bridgelux silicon Gan LED chip technology.

"Toshiba Co and has already launched the Bridgelux cooperation in the technology research and development, the capital injection will make the two companies established for more strategic partnership, will promote the realization of our common goal of reducing the general cost of the solution solid state lighting market. "Bridgelux CEO Bill Watkins said.

We are very pleased to get through our cooperation with the company's R & D to obtain an unprecedented 8 inch silicon gallium nitride LED performance. We will continue to develop more advanced and accelerate the commercialization of our technology. "Toshiba Co and semiconductor storage products company vice president and executive vice president Makoto Hideshima said.
