Taiwan EPISTAR curve into the field of LED lighting

In April 27th, Xiamen leedarson Lighting Co. Ltd and Taiwan Jingyuan Au Optronics Co (EPISTAR, 2448.TW) announced in sixteenth cxmee, joint construction of "LED photoelectric integration technology of cross-strait joint research and development center was formally established.

"The center is the first and only technology center jointly established across the Taiwan strait. Xu Pingdong, deputy director of the Xiamen Municipal Science and Technology Bureau, said, the center will effectively integrate the advantages of cross-strait LED industry, the first in the global development of LED lighting applications. "

According to the general manager of Xiamen leedarson Lighting Co. Ltd. Li Jianghuai introduction, leedarson lighting and EPISTAR in the past three years, the research in the cold white and warm white HV-LED chip, LED chip, package and service life of the lamp evaluation system, photoelectric integration, technology of radio control networking cooperation, launched LED lighting products high performance and high stability.

EPISTAR executives told reporters, EPISTAR had been focused on LED epitaxial wafer and chip, has never been involved in the downstream, this cooperation will effectively integrate LED lighting on the middle and lower reaches, promote the popularity of LED lighting.

The establishment of the "LED photoelectric integration technology of cross-strait joint research and development center", in order to test equipment, EPISTAR R & D equipment and related software development, a total investment of NT $195 million (equivalent to 41 million 200 thousand yuan), standing up in the photoelectricity testing equipment, R & D, production automation equipment R & D and production of online monitoring software development investment 47 million 700 thousand yuan.

It is understood that EPISTAR is LED epitaxial wafer and chip high-tech enterprises on both sides of the largest, but also the world's largest production and output value of the top three international well-known enterprises LED chip; leedarson lighting was founded in 2006, registered capital of 10 million 500 thousand U.S. dollars, 2011 sales of approximately 1 billion yuan.
