Detailed Description

A market-leading innovator and a pioneer in the development of solid-state lighting semiconductors and devices, Cree LED Light® is leading the LED lighting revolution, advancing the performance of solid-state lighting. Cree products include white and a full range of color LEDs for brighter and more tunable light in general illumination and LED backlighting solutions for more vivid displays.

Key to Cree's market advantage is its world-class materials expertise in silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) for chips and packaged devices that can handle more power in a smaller space while producing less heat than other available technologies, materials and products.

Cree LED Light drives its increased performance technology into multiple applications including exciting alternatives in brighter and more tunable light for general illumination and backlighting for more vivid displays.

Cree's XLamp® packaged LEDs are leading the way for lighting designers to create more flexible, long-lasting and energy-efficient lighting systems, and are available in a full range of color (white, royal blue, blue, cyan, green, amber, red-orange and red). XLamp® LEDs make LED lighting practical, affordable, reliable and energy-efficient, and lead the industry in brightness and efficacy for solid-state lighting applications.

Cree's latest LED chip platform, the new EZBright family of products, further establishes Cree's technology leadership in power LED efficacy. In June 2006, Cree demonstrated record white LED efficacy of 131 lumens per watt at 20mA drive current – a level of performance not anticipated by the Department of Energy’s roadmap until 2012. This commitment to continued technological development in LED performance positions Cree to further transform the lighting market and enable new applications.
