Solid state lighting phosphor expert Intematix announces addition of LEDtech to strategic customer wins

Fremont, California, USA – Solid state lighting phosphor expert, Intematix Corporation, announced today that it has added LEDtech Electronics Corp of Taiwan to its growing list of strategic customer wins.

For over 20 years, LEDtech has been well recognized as a leading supplier of LEDs in both visible and infrared (IR) implementations for industrial and consumer applications. Intematix Co-Founder, and Display and Lighting Business General Manager, Dr. Yi-Qun Li commented, “The approach Intematix has taken to its phosphor development allows customers such as LEDtech to apply creativity to challenging issues such as color rendering and packaging. This allows them to formulate solutions that have not previously been possible. The fact we are offering not just warm and cool white phosphors, but also red and green phosphor was a key decision factor for LEDtech.” Intematix offers patent-backed phosphor options to designers and manufacturers for high brightness LEDs and solid state lighting solutions. Included in the agreement is Intematix’ Green Lightning G5X2XTM series and OG450TM Warm White Series, along with their White Lightning NY450TM / NY460TM product line in both cool and warm white spectral variants.
