| Verticle Debuts UV LED Chip on Cu Substrate May 15, 2013...Verticle, an LED chip maker in Silicon Valley with production in Korea, has
come out with a hexagonally shaped UV-LED on a copper substrate that can be
driven at high current. The chip employs what the company calls Chemical Chip
Separation Technology between the Cu substrate and the GaN-based UV-LED.
Verticle points out that despite their numerous advantages UV LEDs tend to have
lower optical power due to lower internal quantum efficiency (IQE) compared to
blue...

lamps, consumer downlights and diffuse industrial lamps. The Luxeon 3535 2D
achieves 140 lm/W efficiency for cool white light at 4000K and minimum 80
CRI.
“This is an exciting breakthrough, because lighting designers can
take advantage of a high lumen package with high... Everlight Expands 5630 Mid-Power LED PortfolioMay 2, 2013...Everlight Electronics based in Shulin, New Taipei City, Taiwan, introduced
the ultra-thin 5630D mid power LED series. The 5630D mid power LED series (part number 62-217D) is especially suited for LED light bars, standard and
omni-directional LED light bulbs, and LED high power bulbs.
Everlight's 62-217D comes in a standard 5630 package in a 0.5W (150mA)
version for 40/60W bulb retrofits and a 0.2W (60mA) version that is suited for
light bars. Both white top-view... Luminus Devices to Supply Big Chip LEDs for Vision X Lighting’s Long Throw Spot Lighting ApplicationsApril 30, 2013...Luminus Devices, Inc. a maker of big chip LEDs and Vision X Lighting
announced a strategic partnership to develop and produce LED technology for
lighting applications that are currently dominated by High Intensity Discharge
(HID) lamp technology. The companies expect that the collaboration between
Luminus, a producer of high brightness LEDs, and Vision X Lighting, a supplier
of aftermarket automotive lighting fixtures, will create a new class of LED
lighting products with the power and punch... Osram Opto Semiconductors Releases New Sensor/Emitter for SmartphonesApril 25, 2013...Osram Opto Semiconductors has added a very effective and low power consuming
sensor to its portfolio of proximity and ambient light sensors. The company
says that the compact SFH 7776 sensor registers the ambient brightness even
behind dark smartphone covers and prevents unintentional responses from the
touch screen during telephone calls. The company contends that this makes it
even easier for smartphone designers to control the backlighting and touch
functions of displays.
The digital SFH 7776 sensor... Osram Opto Semiconductors Now Offering Duris P 5 mid-power LEDs in ColorApril 25, 2013...Osram Opto Semiconductors, has come out with five color new versions of the
Duris P 5 mid-power LEDs. Like the white versions, the new color versions are
said to have high luminous efficacy from a compact form factor. The LEDs are
ideal for architecture lighting and for hotels and restaurants.
The five color versions of Duris P 5 are: “deep blue” (450 nm),
“blue” (470 nm), “true green” (528 nm),
“yellow” (590 nm) and “red” (615... Samsung Introduces New, High Efficacy Chip on Board LED PackagesApril 23, 2013...Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., has introduced a new 129lm/W high efficiency, chip-on-board (COB) family of LED packages, LC013/26/40B. The LC013/26/40B series features a compact light emitting surface (LES), designed for use in high performance indoor and outdoor lighting, and ideally suited for spotlight applications.
The series, features a 129lm/W light efficacy at 80 CRI (Color Rendering Index) and 5000K CCT (Correlated Color Temperature) and is available in 2700K, 3000K and 4000K...
