Sumitomo Corporation and Intematix company to solid state lighting LED phosphor technology investment, and the two sides formed a principal-agent relationship

Business news February 13, 2006 California Fremont and Tokyo News -

Fremont, Intematix of California and Sumitomo Corporation of Japan, are continuing to make progress worldwide in the field of commercial supply of real phosphors. These phosphors are used in solid state lighting. The two companies have jointly announced a comprehensive investment (through Presidio STX, LLC) and a representative agreement. The agreement provides: Sumitomo company as Intematix is expanding the production line of the Japanese agent. These phosphors are used to produce a variety of cold, warm white, green and other colors of high brightness (HB) LEDs.

Yi, vice president and co-founder of Intematix engineering company Dr. Qun Li said: as one of Japan's most famous commodity suppliers, Sumitomo agency in Japan, a large number of very important cooperative relations. We are very pleased with the company's financial resources and its efforts to sell Intematix's intellectual property products. This cooperation is not only an important business of our IP position confirmation in the field of solid state lighting, it also allows us to open the door to establish the main relationship in the high brightness LED market is the most important in the world."

The agreement highlights the successful development of Intematix company. Intematix has created a variety of real commercial phosphor, achieved rapid development in record time, and is in the leading position in the industry. Through the use of materials to explore the engine to develop and optimize new products, Intematix continues to prove that its fluorescent technology. Intematix is best known for its initial cold White LightningY450/Y460 (TM) product. Currently, Intematix is in the Lightning (TM) family of other products in the sampling phase, including high brightness warm white phosphor and UV 460 nm (UV - to 460nm - source) green phosphor.

Intematix Sumitomo, general manager of EME's Yoshinobu, said: "the company's Sumitomo phosphor provides customers with the company's most commercially available supplies of these cutting-edge materials. Intematix has demonstrated its ability to quickly adopt solutions to meet specific customer needs. In addition to increasing performance and Intematix's famous intellectual property rights, the agreement allows Sumitomo to deepen our customer relationships in the technical sector. These technologies enable LED based solid-state lighting to achieve rapid global growth. In addition, Sumitomo predicted that: Intematix's material discovery platform can also be applied to clean energy, digital imaging and nano - Electronics sector in the excavation of other materials technology."

The ability to customize the phosphor technology is achieved by using Intematix's material discovery engine. This unique material technology makes the development process of new materials products gained rapid development, these products can be used for rapid light efficiency, emission wavelength, special thermal stability, manufacturing process and special material list, including all kinds of wavelength chip selection and support a variety of resin.

Dr. Li concluded: "at present, Intematix is in the production process of warm and cold White Lightning (TM) products and the production process of an optional color phosphor solution. Using UV 460 nm (UV - to), Intematix has helped its customers to develop and manufacture a comparable YAG, and is superior to any kind of TAG on the frequency of LEDs. Now, using our 450 or nano wavelength of NY450 phosphor, our customer's equipment is much superior to the performance of the use of YAG LEDs. These results as well as the commercial supply of phosphors to our customers, is a major breakthrough. We cooperate with well-known companies such as Sumitomo is a key factor to accelerate the rapid transformation of the HB-LED industry."
