Luminus Devices has signed a licensing agreement with Epistar that enables the company to manufacture LEDs on the PhlatLight platform.

Luminus Devices noted that it is the third individual licensing agreement for Luminus to other LED companies, demonstrating that LEDs constructed using the PhlatLight technology platform offer unparalleled levels of brightness and reliability. 

Luminus said its patent portfolio which now contains more than 40 issued patents and 100 more applications.

Designed to provide an ultra-bright, reliable light source, PhlatLight big-chip LEDs are used in display applications by some of the world’s largest electronics and lighting companies such as Acer, Guth, LG, Philips Lighting and Samsung.

PhlatLight big-chip LEDs are also enabling new general illumination applications in lighting markets such as architectural, entertainment, retail, residential, roadways, industrial high-bay lighting, digital displays and signage and UV for industrial processing.

Alexei Erchak, CTO, Luminus Devices, said Epistar is at the forefront of solid-state lighting development and PhlatLight technology will improve their LED performance. Meanwhile, Luminus will continue to focus on manufacturing big-chip LEDs for applications where LED arrays don’t provide enough brightness.

Ming-Jiunn Jou, the president of Epistar said that the partnership with Luminus as their strong IP portfolio includes LED patents that enable unmatched levels of brightness and reliability.
