European research institutions and Japanese manufacturers will work together to develop efficient LED

European research institutions IMEC and Taiyo Nippon Sanso announced that Japanese companies will cooperate, manufacturing technology development of high efficiency LED component; the two sides plan to lock for high-definition LCD TV backlight applications, the development of more environmentally friendly LED high brightness.

According to the agreement between the Taiyo Nippon Sanso and IMEC, the two sides will be based on IMEC compound semiconductor component technology, the development of highly efficient environmentally friendly LED process technology. R & D activities will be carried out at the IMEC headquarters in Belgium, and use the agency's expertise in the field of large wafer.

IMEC president and CEO Gilbert Declerk said, Taiyo Nippon Sanso is a compound semiconductor field solution supplier, its products include metal organic materials, gas supply system and MOCVD tools and so on; the cooperation is expected to accelerate the development of high efficiency and environmental protection of LED manufacturing technology. Taiyo Nippon Sanso senior director Mike Hara said the company is expected to cooperate with IMEC, to strengthen the leading position in the field of LED compound semiconductor manufacturers of MOCVD tools.
