LEDs ♦ news digest UV LED manufacturer SETi
receives AS9100 certification The manufacturer of nitride LEDS has met additional requirements necessary to serve the aviation, space and defence industries
Sensor Electronic Technology, Inc. (SETi), is now operating in full compliance of the International Aerospace quality standard AS9100:2009, Rev. C through NSF International Strategic Registrations.
AS9100 is an enhancement to the ISO9001 certification, which SETi received in December, 2009, and adds the additional requirements needed to address the aviation, space and defence industries.
This quality management system includes additional focus in the design and development functions of the business as well as a more sophisticated product quality control system. It provides the essentials of an effective traceability program from development through product sourcing.
“Achieving AS9100 certification is a true testament to our core values of continuous quality improvement and exceeding our customer’s expectations both in private and public sectors,” comments Remis Gaska, President and CEO of SETi.
SETi claims to have developed the broadest range of UV LEDs available on the market, with continuous spectral coverage from 240 nm to 355 nm.
The firm has extensive experience in developing specialised UV LED solutions for the defence and space industries; in 2007 SETi was announced as a DARPA/SBIR success story and in 2010, SETi’s UV LEDs were space qualified.
“This certification demonstrates our commitment to continue to develop and supply the world’s best UV LED technologies into aviation, space and defence programs,” concludes Gaska.
Azzurro and Sumitomo to support Asian customers in Taiwan
The pioneer in gallium nitride on silicon technology is strengthening customer support in Taiwan by assigning Sumitomo as its exclusive local distribution partner
Azzurro has announced that Sumitomo Taiwan is its sole distributor partner in Taiwan.
Capitalising on the overwhelming success and customer tractions that have taken place in the region, Azzurro stepped up its customer support by opening its Regional Office Asia in Taipei, Taiwan in August 2011.
The firm is now expanding its support by signing an agreement with Sumitomo Taiwan as its sole distribution partner in Taiwan.
Azzurro says high acceptance of its products in the power semiconductor and LED markets continues to rise. As the company’s production ramp is currently under way, it is important to have a smooth supply chain and be extremely reactive to customer and logistic market requirements.
By growing the GaN on large Silicon substrates using Azzurro’s proprietary strain engineering technology, companies can use their current standard Silicon processing lines.
The firm says that this is a breakthrough step in massively reducing the costs of LED and power semiconductor manufacturing. As such, Azzurro says it is poised to become a strong global player in the GaN markets.
Establishing an agile support structure for its Asian business partners with its own local expert facility in Taiwan was of high importance to Azzurro; customers will benefit from direct access to all design and engineering as well as corporate functions in Germany.
This pivotal bridge functionaims to ensure smooth implementation of achieving product roadmaps for Azzurro’s customers, who will be able to use it to optimise their products. Azzurro will also be able to adapt processes according to its customers’ technical requirements and describe the latest market trends and showcase suitable Azzurro products.
Erwin Ysewijn, VP Marketing & Sales of Azzurro Semiconductors says, “The agreement will considerably contribute to establish Azzurro further in the pivotal Asian markets, were Taiwan is in the spearhead position. We see Sumitomo as a well established player in the market, close to customers having an entranced relationship and able to fulfil regional business requirements. This agreement will assure that our customers will receive optimum care and service.”
Shin Udatsu Managing Director Sumitomo Taiwan adds, “We are welcoming the innovative product line from Azzurro to our line-up of products to serve the emerging markets for next generation LED and power semiconductor devices. Our customers will now have the access trough Sumitomo to the top notch technology option from Azzurro.”
Small power packs make a
big impression Osram’s new Ostar Stage LEDs have a flat glass window with an anti-reflective coating, giving the LED a much flatter profile. At a quarter of the usual height, the LEDs enable much more compact spotlights
With their much flatter profile the new Osram Ostar Stage LEDs provide the basis for compact spotlights with an extremely narrow beam and high luminance.
These LEDs are ideal for moveable stage lights, known as moving heads, which provide powerful light beams for rock concerts and other impressive lighting arrangements.
