Intematix has received $16.2 million fundings from current investors Draper Fisher Jurvetson and Crosslink Capital, as well as a new financial investor, to continue tackling challenges for the LED industry through facility expansion, working capital and development of its phosphor products and ChromaLit(TM) remote phosphor products.
Maurice Carson, Chief Financial Officer for Intematix, pointed out that, "LED technology is the future of lighting, and Intematix phosphors and remote phosphors are key components to making this possible. This investment further enables Intematix to continue its growth trajectory as it addresses the light quality needs required by the general lighting and display markets."
While lighting LEDs have grown in efficiency they have faced challenges in color quality and thermal management in small form-factors. Intematix phosphors enable white light comparable to conventional sources and ChromaLit remote phosphor systems have shown more efficient cooling leading to compact light bulb solutions.
