The technology uses standard silicon wafers with diameters of 8 inches (200 mm) and existing CMOS wafer-fabrication processes and tools, enabling production of LED chips at 25 percent of the cost of traditional planar LED chips. Aledia's game-changing WireLED™ GaN-on-silicon microwire technology, developed at the research laboratories of CEA-LETI and CEA-INAC in France, represents a cost-disruptive solution to the key challenge facing the very large and growing LED market. By resolving the important cost issue, Aledia is working to make LEDs available at substantially lower prices than are found today. Looking ahead, Aledia is working to extend its WireLED technology to manufacture LED products that emit a range of colors to produce the full spectrum of visible light. Aledia calls this "The White Side®". The goal is to produce a future generation of LEDs that generates white light while entirely avoiding the use of phosphors. At Aledia, we are pioneering next-generation products to lead the LED revolution. Share: © 2016 Aledia. All rights reserved | Legal Statement
