But rather than developing Li-Fi LEDs around 1mm2 in size, which other
researchers around the world are concentrating on, the EPSRC-funded team is
developing tiny, micron-sized LEDs which potentially offers a number of major
advantages:Firstly, the tiny LEDs are able to flicker on and off 1,000 times
quicker than the larger LEDs this also means they can transmit data more
quickly. Secondly, 1,000 micron-sized LEDs would fit into the space occupied by
a single larger 1mm2 LED, with each of these tiny LEDs acting as a separate
communication channel. A 1mm2 sized array of micron-sized LEDs could therefore
communicate 1,000 x 1,000 times as much information as one 1mm2 LED.Moreover,
each micron-sized LED would act as a tiny pixel. So one large LED array display,
could also be used as a screen displaying information at exactly the same time
as providing internet communications and the overall room lighting.
Professor Martin Dawson of the University of Strathclyde, who is leading the initiative, says: "Imagine an LED array beside a motorway helping to light the road, displaying the latest traffic updates and transmitting internet information wirelessly to passengers' laptops, netbooks and smartphones. This is the kind of extraordinary, energy-saving parallelism that we believe our pioneering technology could deliver.Eventually, it could even be possible for the LEDs to incorporate sensing capabilities too. For example, your mobile phone could be equipped with a flash that you point at a shop display where everything has been given an electronic price tag, and the price of all the items and other information about them would show up on your phone's display.Samsung has intended to invest $1.7 billion for expansion in kunshan-based factory, china. The fund will be used in building factory, purchasing equipment, and the establishment of Samsung Electro - Mechanics Co. as operations research center, in order to support the development for chip load plate projects.
The kunshan factory is founded in 2008, and is dedicated in manufacturing electronic components. By the end of 2012, Samsung has injected a total of $80.99 million investment in this factory, and the annual sales have approached $ 100 million.According to kunshan Government, Samsung will cooperate with the city on chip load plate projects, and increase another $1.7 billion investment within 5 years since 2013. This cooperation will promote Samsung to meet the rapid growth of intelligent terminal equipment market, as well as increase its production capacity of chip load plate by more than 3 times.California-based LED lighting manufacturer Bivar Inc and UK-based Marl International have formed an international opto-electronics partnership with manufacturing facilities in North America, Europe and Asia and a portfolio of approximately 24,000 high performance LED and light pipe products. The partnership will supply and support customers around the world through a global network of agents and distributors.
