Complete solid-state lighting (SSL) solutions require technical expertise in myriad technologies — several distinct, high-level areas are easily identified (see Fig. 1). Knowledge in one area can be ...

The National Research Council (NRC) appoints a committee and conducts a study of the status of advanced solid state lighting (SSL). The report considered the basic science and engineering needed to ...

Supertex introduced HV9973—a patented, isolated, constant current LED driver for use in high voltage solid-state lighting applications such as incandescent bulb retrofits. The IC achieves +/-3% ...

Solid state lighting literally promises to change the way we see the world. But before a new generation of efficient LED lighting can step forward to replace incandescent, fluorescent and other ...

The pace of innovation is sometimes so swift that technologies that emerged a decade or so ago are now fixtures of daily life. Take light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for example. A January 2012 U.S.
