At present, LEDs have been adopted mainly for use in backlights for mobile phones and PDAs, but in the future, they are expected to gain acceptance not only for general illumination applications, but also for use in large numbers in the backlights of LCD TVs and for automotive led high bay light. At the same time, laser diodes have long been the key device used in recording and playback of optical disks such as CDs and DVDs. Today, as HDTV images become increasingly familiar, demand is growing rapidly for blue-violet laser diodes as indispensable devices in recording and playback of terrestrial digital broadcasts, and for Blu-ray Disc recorders and players.
Sharp launched development of LEDs in 1968 and began mass production in 1970. In addition, Sharp was the first in the world to begin mass production of infrared laser diodes for CDs in 1982, and in February of this year, initiated mass production of 250-mW, pulsed-output, high-power blue-violet laser diodes, one of the highest levels in the industry.And now, by working toward development of a vertically integrated business model based on these two devices, including LED lighting and Blu-ray Disc recorders, Sharp is aiming to create unique, one-of-a-kind products in the future that feature both devices at their core.
Barry Weinbaum, Renaissance Lighting CEO, said participation as an exhibitor at Greenbuild International is a first for Renaissance Lighting, the importance is becoming a viable player in the increasingly global 'green' marketplace. There is an ever-increasing environmental consciousness that is helping set standards for products of all types. They have brought innovative, energy efficient and ecologically safe products that are the perfect match for the led high bay aggressive demands of a growing number of environmentally conscious customers.Renaissance Lighting understands that as a light source, LEDs are quickly becoming the obvious "green" choice for lighting fixtures as they offer numerous benefits over traditional light sources. LEDs have lower CO2 emissions and do not contain harmful mercury commonly found in Compact Florescent Lights. LEDs also have an inherently long life span of 50,000-70,000 hours and therefore are virtually maintenance free, lowering the overall total cost of ownership.
