Vishay takes up Osram white LED technology
Vishay Semiconductor is licensing patented Osram technology to manufacture and sell light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for white light with conversion technology and surface-mount LEDs for high-current applications (power SMT LEDs). Typical applications include automotive interior lighting.
Vishay Semiconductor is licensing patented Osram technology to manufacture and sell light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for white light with conversion technology and surface-mount LEDs for high-current applications (power SMT LEDs). Typical applications include automotive interior lighting.
The technology was developed by the Osram Opto Semiconductors subsidiary to create white LEDs on the basis of blue emitting InGaN (indium gallium nitride) chips by using a suitable phosphor converter.
Osram Opto Semiconductors holds a large number of patents relating to white LEDs and has previously signed licensing agreements with Nichia, Rohm, Everlight, Lite-On and Samsung Electro Mechanics.
