LEDIA ’18

The 6th International
Conference on Light-Emitting
Devices and Their IndustrialApplications
Co-located with Optics & Photonics International Congress
2018

http://ledia.opicon.jp/Sponsored byAkasaki Research Center (ARC), Nagoya University

INTRODUCTION

ProgramLight-emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes (LDs) havebeen attracting much attention for the application tosolid-state lighting. In order to meet the rapid increase in
the application fields, the discussion opportunities
between the device developers and material scientists
are required. We are pleased to announce that the 6thInternational Conference on Light-Emitting Devices andTheir Industrial Applications (LEDIA '18) will be held at
Pacifico Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan, on April 25 - 27,
2018. LEDIA ’18 provides a platform for scientists andengineers to discuss progress and future trends in the
rapidly advancing science and technology of widebandgap semiconductors for light-emitting devices andtheir applications. Their applications into visible andultraviolet LEDs and LDs are also included in the scope of
this meeting. LEDIA ’18 is sponsored by Akasaki
Research Center (ARC), Nagoya University.

The conference has invited, oral and poster session. TheOPIC reception will be held at the evening on April 23. This
timetable is tentative, so that latest information on theconference will be presented on the Web site:

LEDIA ’18 covers the wide-bandgap semiconductors andLED/LD technologies in the following major topical fields;
Growth of GaN-based materials, oxides for LED,GaN, AlN, ZnO and their related substrates

B. Fabrication of LEDs and its process
White, UV, visible and IR LEDs and LDs, including
micro cavity and photonic crystals

C. Characterization ofrelated materials

LEDsandtheirQuantum efficiency, efficiency droop, luminescence,color conversion
Solid-state lighting, display, LED/LD integration,
agricultural applications
