GREEN ISLAND, USA: Crystal IS Inc., the world’s leading developer of ultraviolet light emitting diodes (UV-C LEDs) and Sanan Optoelectronics Co. Ltd., the largest manufacturer of full color LEDs in the People’s Republic of China, recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU).
The MOU defines a joint development program, whose goal is to establish pilot manufacturing of LEDs operating in the UV-C part of the electromagnetic spectrum. During the term of this MOU, both parties intend to negotiate a long term business agreement covering high volume manufacturing, marketing and sales.
“Working with an experienced and dynamic company like Sanan Optoelectronics will significantly speed up the market introduction of UV-C LEDs,” said Crystal IS CEO Steven Berger. “Leveraging Sanan Optoelectonrics’ unique expertise in processing and packaging will allow us to focus on making the precision substrates required for efficient UV-C LEDs”
“The opportunity to partner with Crystal IS on a new LED technology will help Sanan Optoelectronics maintain its leadership position for the future,” said Sanan Optoelectronics CEO Simon Lin. “We expect downstream integrators of UV-based products will welcome an established supply train for this new product.
The developed UV-C LEDs will operate at the optimal germicidal wavelength, and are ideal for use in water and air sterilization products. Initial applications will include portable and residential point-of-use systems such as cleantech alternatives to bottled water and in-home counter-top systems.
The technology roadmap also includes industrial and municipal applications, where long-lasting, energy-efficient LEDs are ideal replacements for existing mercury-based light sources.
