Webinar: Substrate to System: Enabling Materials for Improved LEDs and Power Electronics

September 24, 2013

Description

LED lighting and advanced power electronics can lead to dramatic electricity savings in applications from computers and electric vehicles, to buildings and the grid. The overlapping value chains in these two industries present a slew of opportunities for novel materials and designs to reduce cost reduction and improve efficiency. This webinar reviews some of the major areas of innovation, including new substrates and wafers to improve the performance and cost, in thermal management to tackle the needs for increased heat dissipation, and in the balance of systems. Profiting from these innovations requires navigating a muddled landscape, however, with disruptive start-ups and me-too companies stepping on the toes of litigious multinational corporations, and evolving partnerships and rampant acquisitions integrating the two industries. This webinar will:
  • Analyze the challenges and market opportunity for new substrate and wafer technologies in LEDs and power electronics
  • Explore the thermal management landscape and analyze the impact on the LEDs and power electronics value chain
  • Assess the winning strategies for companies in both the LEDs and power electronics industries
