UK million euro LED project launch

PhotonStarLED and the University of Cambridge have received funding from the government's technology strategy board, a project called LEDLightingforthe21stCentury (LL21C).

The goal of the project is to produce high-power gallium nitride LED, the light output of 90%, with a new ultra-thin characteristics, using a simple package. The main purpose is to improve performance and reduce costs. The project for a period of 1 years, the amount of 1 million euros.

Why the technology strategy board invests in the project. IainGray said it was an innovative development and research project that would allow the UK to develop a world leading LED technology.

PhotonStars said that it was a great victory for them, and that they were well recognized for their role in the project. The research and development team is composed of a prestigious and influential person in the field of lighting. Believe to be able to promote energy saving and environmental protection LED technology further.

ColinHumphreys, a professor at University of Cambridge, added: "we are happy to see that the advanced GaN growth technology of University of Cambridge has been put into this project, and the popularity of LED is of great significance to reduce the emission of CO2. "

According to reports, the British government's technology strategy committee invested 7 million euros in the project to innovative lighting technology, while the British Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council invested 1 million euros to the 5 lighting projects.
