Also, its new factory in Chuzhou, Anhui has been settled. The equipment is scheduled to be installed in March and the operation will start in 2Q18 for pilot runs. Chuzhou factory will become its third production base in Mainland China after the Suzhou factory and the Xiamen factory.
In the LED industry, even though the market has become a “red ocean,” the industrial and special lighting segments still see plenty of opportunities. Lextar will focus on four application fields: display, lighting, automotive area and advanced optoelectronic application to increase additional value of both technology and premium services.

WELLMAX introduced the iDAPT technology, aiming to improve eye-comfort and light quality. It allows the bulb to gradually light-up instead of instantly reaching 100% luminosity when switched on, offering a smoother lighting experience for the human eyes and protecting the eyes from the sudden change of luminosity.
In particular, the technology received a lot of positive feedbacks from visitors looking to develop partnerships with the company to enter the European market.

It can also be used in automotive lighting. The DOWSIL MS-1002 Moldable Silicone is a highly transparent material that processes easily at room temperature and exhibits very low viscosity before cure. Combined with its high elongation and tear strength and easy demolding performance, these qualities significantly expand design possibilities for fabrication of complex shapes, micro-scale optical structures, multifunctional parts, and undercuts that are difficult to achieve with organic polymers.
