Markets & Applications
High-brightness LEDs (HB-LEDs) and their associated components can be used in a wide range of markets, including backlighting, commercial lighting, flashlights, signage and transportation.
Backlighting
Backlighting applications provide an enormous opportunity for HB-LEDs to outperform existing CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamp) solutions. HB-LEDs have many uses within the mobile appliance market, such as laptop computers, PDAs, cell phones and digital cameras. Additionally, LCD TVs and monitors are emerging as viable opportunities within the backlighting market.
Commercial Lighting
HB-LEDs bring superior flexibility to commercial lighting designs. This market consists of architectural and residential lighting, which includes decorative and landscape fixtures and industrial lighting and commercial applications, including commodity fixtures and specialty illumination.
Flashlights
Superior advantages of HB-LEDs over traditional light sources in Flashlights makes for excellent opportunities. The durability, long life and low power consumption of HB-LEDs spell higher reliability for flashlight applications. The compact nature of HB-LEDs means flashlights can be small and effective.
Signage
HB-LEDs are finding their way into a realm once dominated by neon and other light sources. Advantages of readability at distance, effective luminance, appropriate viewing angles and dimming capabilities make HB-LEDs a natural fit for signage applications.
Transportation
This market covers the full spectrum of transportation applications; including cars, boats, motorcycles, and airplanes; and guidance lighting, which includes safety lights and street signs.
