Hotbeam  has added CeeLux D08 to its range of recessed LED powered light fittings.The CeeLux D08 is a complete unit (bulb and housing) designed for ceilings, walls and cabinetry. Installation is easy with spring-loaded mounting clips. The CeeLux D08 light head pivots to 45°with an ideal white powder coated aluminium body. It produces light equivalent to a 20w halogen, whilst consuming an economical 6.5 watts of power. The CeeLux D08 is available in:

Addressing the high level of interest in solid-state lighting, TPS62260LED LED develoipment board from Texas Inatruments enables lighting designers to develop and evaluate a variable-color RGB-LED lighting system using an RF lighting control for management of lighting intensity and color. The board combines three OSRAM high-brightness LEDs (red, green and blue) with an MSP430F2131 microcontroller to control the brightness of each LED using the output of three dedicated TPS62260 solid-state lighting drivers (SSLD).

Semisilicon Technology Corp. announce two 3 wires full color LED driver IC, One is 3 wires RGBW LED PWM driver IC，Part number is「DJ5111」.The other is 3 wires RGB LED constant current driver IC，Part number is「DJ5091」.

Future Lighting Solutions, a division of Future Electronics, Inc., with NEC Electronics America, Inc., today introduced the world’s first intelligent constant High-Current Driver (HCD) with microcontroller (MCU). The new HCD/LED MCU can be used in lighting applications that employ multiple LEDs, in addition to industrial control applications such as stepping motors, solenoid drives, and switch-mode power supplies.

'Tactical'flashlights - torches for shining into people's eyes - are already popular in the US amongst certain special interest groups and now a Californian firm has taken the concept one stage further. With $1m from the Department of Homeland Security, Intelligent Optical Systems of Los Angeles has created the LED Incapacitator.

Adding a new category to its TV business, Recently,Sony of Canada Ltd. announced that it will launch the XEL-1, an 11-inch Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) television. Aiming to expand its overall TV business, Sony will add the new XEL-1 model to the lineup of televisions that is currently centered on the "BRAVIA" line of LCDs. The new OLED TV model features an "Organic Panel", which was independently developed by Sony and has exceptional features. The XEL-1 has a unique structure that achieves brilliant deep blacks and extremely high

The MBI5039 is a 16-channel constant current LED driver with smart error detection functions released by Macroblock. The MBI5039 supports constant output current from 3mA to 90mA and sustains up to 17V at the output ports. In addition, the high clock frequency (30MHz) satisfies the system requirements of high volume data transmission. The MBI5039 includes two error-detection functions: in-message error detection and silent error detection.

austriamicrosystems expanded its LED driver portfolio with the AS1112, a full color LED driver ideally suited for full color applications such as LED video displays, LCD TV backlighting, indoor/outdoor full-color LED displays and large-size stadium displays.

Allegro announces a new, high-brightness, adjustable constant current LED driver to complement its existing portfolio of display driver ICs. Targeted at the automotive lighting market, this LED driver is also an excellent fit in industrial and consumer LED applications. This new device is designed to operate over the typical automotive battery and temperature ranges.

Researchers at the University of Michigan have discovered a way to get 50% more light out of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), bringing them one step closer to more widespread adoption as a general lighting source, while increasing their value in displays.

It appears MacBook Pro keyboards will come with OLED touch panels after all, Cult of Mac has leaked photos of the OLED panel enhanced notebooks, which it obtained from an Apple supplier.
