OSRAM has 39 thousand employees, annual revenues of up to 4 billion 300 million euros, a leading position in the international lighting industry. OSRAM's 100 percent subsidiary of OSRAM Opto Semiconductors contributed 11% of revenue, is the world's largest manufacturer of photovoltaic industry, LED.

Ya Xin Industrial Limited by Share Ltd in September 2005 to obtain the authorization of the OSRAM white light LED technology applied to the backlight module, and in September 5, 2006 made the application of OSRAM in the field of general lighting white LED technology licensing. Gerd Pokorny said that this is the first time OSRAM granted a patent for general lighting. And stressed that because of the extremely high degree of trust and close cooperation between OSRAM and Yaxin have this unprecedented initiative.
