LEDs ♦ news digest
the company now sought to expand its capabilities through Aixtron´s latest generation of AIX G5 HT MOCVD Planetary Reactors.
The new systems will be installed within this year at Samsung’s latest state-of-the-art production facility. They will be used for volume production of high brightness (HB) blue and white GaN-based LEDs for television back-light units (BLU) and LED lamps for solid-state lighting applications.
Aixtron Vice President Sales, Bastian Marheineke comments,“Having become the leading local supplier for GaN-based HB-LEDs in Korea, Samsung LED has continually expanded capacity. Once again this will be achieved by adding more reactors of choice from Aixtron. The new reactors will further ensure Samsung LED’s determination to stay at the forefront of LED production for volume applications.”
Formed in April 2009, Samsung LED has been recognised as one of the fastest growing LED manufacturers in the world. Today, Samsung LED is an innovator in the LED BLU module industry and is equipped with what it claims is the world’s best technology. The ultra-slim BLU module minimises the thickness of all sorts of displays such as TVs, notebook PCs, monitors, DIDs, and so on. Samsung aims to become the Global Top LED company within this year.
Elec-Tech orders multiple MaxBright MOCVD tools
By adding Veeco’s new multi-chamber MaxBright, Elec-Tech expect to be able to compete in a very high-production environment and drive down the cost of LEDs.
Veeco Instruments has announced that Elec-Tech International has placed a multi-unit order for Veeco’s recently released TurboDisc MaxBright MOCVD System for production of high-brightness HB LEDs at its facility in Wuhu, China.
Tony Wang, Chairman of Elec-Tech commented, “As we have previously stated, our goal is to become one of the top three LED companies by output and sales revenue in China within two years, and we have an aggressive plan to achieve
this goal. By adding Veeco’s new multi-chamber MaxBright, we expect to be able to compete in a very high-production environment and drive down the cost of LEDs. We are excited by what we have seen with MaxBright in terms of its cost- of-ownership model, ease-of-use, and the great footprint advantage it will offer us in our fab.”
Wang added, “When we selected Veeco last year as our primary equipment supplier, it was not just because of the success of the K465i, but also because of the roadmap they shared with us on the new multi-reactor MaxBright system. Also, Veeco’s service and support has been excellent, so we have a lot of confidence giving them these additional orders for our capacity ramp.”
William J. Miller, Executive Vice President, Veeco LED & Solar added, “Elec-Tech is moving fast to ramp capacity and gain share in the LED market. We are pleased to be able to support this ramp with our latest generation MaxBright product.”
Full-colour QLED displays move closer to reality
QD Vision’s quantum dot LEDs are claimed to achieve significantly higher efficiency and performance improvements over their equivalent OLED counterparts.
QD Vision, a developer of nanotechnology-based products for displays and solid state lighting, has taken major strides towards improving the efficiency and performance of its quantum dot LED (QLED) technology.
QLEDs offer all of the functional benefits of emissive display technologies, with the added advantage of simplified manufacturing processes and the potential to consume half of the power of the most efficient OLEDs.
