Reference Guide: Imagine a cell phone that projects movies and animated graphics directly on to walls – or viewing high-resolution, 24-bit color images through helmets or inside goggles. These are a few of the applications made possible through a family of miniature devices called FLCOS microdisplays. Find out... more
Reference Guide: The U.S. Government is offering a $10 million prize for the best LED-based replacement of a common incandescent bulb. The contest is called the Bright Tomorrow Lighting Competition, aka "L Prize". This competition is intended to accelerate development and deployment of energy efficient... more
Reference Guide: Flashlights are a prime example. For many professionals, outdoor enthusiasts, military personnel and police, these devices are mission-critical. This month, Cary Eskow reviews some of the fundamental concepts used in the HBLED lens design... more
Reference Guide: In school, you learned that the speed of light is about 2.99792458 x 10 to the 8th meters/sec, denoted by the symbol c. Specifically, this is the velocity of light in a vacuum. The speed of light in other mediums is different - and slower. To describe this relative reduction in speed, we use... more
Reference Guide: It’s difficult to compare the light outcome of inexpensive consumer flashlights – the manufacture’s package labeling might indicate its power in watts, suggesting that higher wattage is necessarily equivalent to higher brightness. Unfortunately, that doesn’t really tell us much... more
Reference Guide: Organic Light Emitting Diodes for general illumination applications have arrived. You may have heard about OLEDs before - in fact, the basic underlying technology dates back at least fifty years. OLEDs are constructed from a stack of think flims. Find out the two general applications of OLEDs... more
Reference Guide: Controlling HBLED based lights with ordinary, off-the-shelf dimmers are not as easy as it once was. As you replace older lights with cleaner, greener HBLED lighting, it’s natural to expect the preexisting dimmers in your home to function just as well as they did before. However this is... more
White Paper: Structuring an experiment to test this is easy – grow several specimens of the same plant under various colors of light (red, green, blue, yellow, etc) perhaps including sunlight as a control. Most plants are green, so intuitively this suggests that, next to sunlight, green light yields the... more
Design Guide: Primum non nocere is taught to all medical students. It means "first, do no harm". Physicians must always consider the risk of inflicting further pain or suffering when treating a disease. Today, many minimally invasive surgical and diagnostic procedures are performed with the aid of an... more
Design Guide: High Powered Ultraviolet LEDs are high-performance, industrial-grade devices and as such are more expensive than regular high-brightness LEDs. They also require proper attention to eye safety, especially for the shorter wavelength HPUV versions... more
