| Solid-State
Lighting
With an estimated, annual $20B market potential,
GaN and AlN-based solid-state lighting sources are
nearly an order of magnitude more efficient than incandescent
lamps for display applications.
Important facts to know about new developments of
solid-state lighting:
- Provides 100,000+ hour lifetime vs. 2,000 hour
for incandescent.
- Affects the energy industry, construction, automotive
and avionics applications
- Reduces electric power used for lighting by 50%
(both in the U.S. and worldwide).
- May reduce carbon emissions by 200M tons/year*
