LED Will Lead the Way for China Intelligent Lighting

Thu, 03/03/2011 - 06:29 EDT - Seeking Alpha

Dutch Trader submits: A number of global trends are changing the way people use light. Thanks to the use of nano-structured semiconductors or organic polymers, inorganic and organic light emitting diodes (also known as LED and OLED) are disruptive technologies, likely to change the lighting landscape of this century.The CN Tower in Toronto and the China Expo 2010 Pavilion in Shanghai are a few examples of light emitting diodes (LED) lighting in use. Lighting solutions are transforming urban environments, creating livable cities through the use of light to enhance safety, municipal identity and residential well-being: consumers are increasingly applying lighting to create their own ambiance at home; building owners and retailers are recognizing the benefits of energy-efficient lighting in reducing their operational costs; and schools are learning how lighting can improve education. New LED lighting also paves the way for new applications in electronic products. This technology makes many products lighter, better,Complete Story »

Three scientists win Nobel Prize in physics for breakthrough that created LED lights
STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Isamu Akasaki and Hiroshi Amano of Japan and U.S. scientist Shuji Nakamura won the Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for the invention of blue light-emitting diodes, a breakthrough that spurred the development of LED technology used to light up computer screens and modern smartphones. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences says their invention is just 20 years old, “but it has already contributed to create white light in an entirely new manner to the benefit of us all.”
How making low cost OLED screens have become a top priority for researchers in India
As the leader of the team that developed Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED) in Eastman Kodak, G Rajeswaran knows a bit about this emerging technology. He is setting up a company in the US for manufacturing LED flat panels. In India, he has a slightly different objective: bring in a disruptive technology to kickstart domestic manufacturing in OLEDs. The Indian Institute of Technology in Madras is partnering him. Rajeswaran and IIT Madras are developing the initial ideas for an R&D project to manufacture OLED screens at low cost in the country.
Terence Woodgate lighting launches crowdfunding campaign
Founded by renowned Royal Designer for Industry Terence Woodgate in early 2014, Terence Woodgate Lighting Limited (TWL) designs and produces lighting collections that are optimised for LEDs. Energy efficient, high output LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are driven by a compact chip. This opens up entirely new design options, enabling the light source to be integrated into the fitting itself and removing the need for conventional bulbs.
