Strategies in Light will be held in February 22–24, 2011 at Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA USA.
The 2 interesting lectures are:
Aldo Kamper, CEO, Osram Opto Semiconductors
– Automotive is one of the big success stories for the tiny light sources: after only being used in indicator applications, LEDs have migrated to headlamp functions as state of the art light sources as well as being used in active safety applications. Is this market saturated? Consumer applications have been using LED technology for several years.
– What specific requirements does this market – the biggest today – demand from the LED manufactures all over the world?
Semiconductor technologies are the base for broad expectations and considered as the revolution of lighting. What needs to be done to make this a reality?
– The adoption of solid-state lighting is supposed to be driven by key topics like energy saving, global care and the lighting environment. What revolutionary impacts can the LED still offer?
Mike Holt, CEO, Philips Lumileds Lighting:
– The LED industry and the lighting community at large are in a race to transform lighting, not simply because we can, but because the world needs us to provide more efficient lighting and to help find a way to serve populations that historically have not had easy access to light.
– For most of the last decade, the first decade of the power LED, the industry’s focus has been on technology innovation. As we look at the decade ahead the question on the table is if and how the industry transitions from innovation to adoption and delivers on the promise of solid-state lighting.
Strategies Unlimited’s most recent HB LED market review and forecast report concludes that several applications are projected to have growth rates exceeding 50% over the next five years. The total HB LED market is projected to grow at an annual average rate of 30% through 2014.
