Avago Technologies, a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, today announced the addition of new half-watt cool white and warm white light emitting diodes (LEDs) to its series of Moonstone(TM) power LEDs.
Famed inventor Dean Kamen presented the 35th Annual National Inventor of the Year Award to Dr. Ihor Lys of Color Kinetics (now Philips Solid State Lighting Solutions) at the Old Patent Office building in Washington last week. Kamen said Dr. Lys "stood on the shoulders of giants" such as Thomas Edison and improved on the best known invention of all -- the light bulb -- by developing a breakthrough technology for increasing the efficiency and lowering the cost of light emitting diode (LED) lighting systems.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (IPMS), one of the leading research institutes in the field of organic-based materials and devices, as well as the Fraunhofer Institute for Electron Beam and Plasma Technology (FEP), leader in the field of large-area vacuum deposition on flexible substrates, have joined forces in the development of a technology for an organic devices roll-to-roll production process.
Helping display manufacturers meet demands for more efficient power technologies in displays, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) introduced today an innovative, six-channel, 40-V white light emitting diode (LED) driver with a built-in, high-efficiency boost regulator and 1.5-A FET.
Apple's new MacAir notebook is so slim it has created a new sub-category of laptops. And one of the key enabling technologies behind this innovation is the LED backlight unit. Not only do LED backlights offer increased battery life for notebooks, they can enable much thinner displays - and innovative new thinking about product design.
Flexible electronic display technology developed by European researchers has allowed companies on the continent to make inroads in a market dominated by Asian firms.
In its commitment to energy savings, sustainability and lowering energy costs, Kentucky-based Thorntons Inc., has selected Wisconsin-based BetaLED exterior luminaires for 13 properties, and all future renovations and new construction. The company recently opened a convenience store with gas in Edgewood, KY., and is the first-ever LED store in the state.
IXYS Corporation, a leader in power semiconductors for power conversion and motion control applications, announced today the introduction of the PCX-7450 by its Colorado division. The PCX-7450 is an air-cooled, high power pulsed current source designed to drive diode lasers, bars and arrays.
Mitsubishi Electric has been chosen by Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE) to supply and install a new 17-screen scoreboard featuring a cutting-edge Diamond Vision(TM) high-definition display system at the Air Canada Centre, home of the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs and the NBA's Toronto Raptors.
But costs remain an issue in the adoption of LED backlights for larger-sized LCDs. Using a new cost model tool developed by Insight Media and validated by industry experts, the model finds that the price decline for LED backlights will be steep, allowing a rapid changeover to begin around 2011.
