Tamura suspend the development of gallium oxide substrate LED

Nikkei news 11 reported that Japan's electronic materials / parts business Tamura has suspended the use of gallium oxide (gallium oxide) substrate LED. Report pointed out that the gallium oxide for new materials developed in Japan, used in LED substrate, compared with the existing LED products, can not only increase the brightness, is also expected to reduce the cost, and the Tamura in 2008 with the acquisition of gallium oxide substrate plant and light, and LED manufacturers jointly developed the high brightness LED, but due to the current high performance LED low prices, resulting in longer gallium oxide have the advantage, so Tamura decided to suspend the development.

According to reports, research and development of Tamura suspension gallium oxide LED, the gallium oxide technology used in power supply control chip, its target is to develop the power voltage more than 6000V control chip, and plans in 2020 to its application in the electric vehicle (EV), the distribution of electrical system.

In addition, Tamura will expand the sales of fluorescent materials, the combination of fluorescent materials and laser diodes, can be used as a source of high brightness projectors or can be used in car headlights and other uses.
