to Intematix,” said Mark Swoboda, the new CEO of Intematix. “For years, Intematix has been expanding its expertise to include nitrides, silicates, TAG, YAG and other key platforms. While other players have historically invested little in R&D innovation of LED phosphors, these materials—and resulting light generation recipes—are one of the most critical and immediate paths to achieving high-quality, energy efficient lighting.”
Intematix has patented a proprietary process, C-Mat Synthesis, which serves as the platform for customized phosphors that enable high-quality lighting. The company will maintain and deepen its foothold in phosphors, while simultaneously deploying innovative materials that serve as enabling technology behind innovative systems- level LED products.
“With more than a decade of materials development expertise and over 200 patents for materials and device technologies, Intematix is clearly a technology leader in the lighting space,” said Alain Harrus, partner at Crosslink Capital and Intematix board member. “We are glad to have Mark on board as we continue to leverage the company’s technical expertise to bring our products into new markets.”
After close to a decade of leading sales, marketing, applications, and custom product development teams at Philips Lumileds, which pioneered the power LED product class and established clear market share in high growth markets and applications in solid-state lighting, Swoboda joined LED start-up Bridgelux in 2007. There, Swoboda took the company from an R&D business into a fully commercialized general lighting products provider with a core focus in vertically integrated lighting design.
“From semiconductors to LEDs, Mark has a proven track record of identifying and executing in under- served markets,” said Jennifer Fonstad, managing director with Draper Fisher Jurvetson and Intematix board member. “Mark’s move underscores the pivotal role of sophisticated materials development in creating high quality solid state lighting and signals a shift in the dynamics of value creation in the LED industry.”

Lumileds Crosses 1 Billion Luxeon LED Line
The firm has delivered over 750 million Luxeon power LEDs in just the last two years.
Philips Lumileds, who claims to be the inventor of power LEDs used in general illumination, consumer electronics, and automotive categories, shipped its billionth Luxeon power LED in the 2nd quarter of 2010.
The company’s capacity and infrastructure investments over the last several years have enabled it to meet customer needs for high volumes of products, with the company delivering over 750 million Luxeon power LEDs in the past two years.
LUXEON Rebel ES, the most recent addition to the portfolio can deliver more than 300 lumens of white light
Just ten years after ushering in a new era in lighting, the company finds that a decade of innovation, technology, and lighting leadership has positioned it well to support customers’ development and introduction of new lighting solutions.
“This isn’t just a milestone for the company but for the entire industry,” said Michael Holt, CEO. “When we started, the idea that Lumileds could change the nature of lighting with power LEDs was greeted by many industry insiders with skepticism. Today, they and others have followed us as competitors into an industry that is driving energy efficient lighting applications and new ways of lighting the places
