Seoul Semiconductor announced on Aug 31 that it has signed a patent cross-license agreement with OSRAM GmbH, a leading LED manufacturer based in Munich, Germany. Under this agreement, Seoul Semiconductor and OSRAM including its wholly-owned subsidiary OSRAM Opto Semiconductors of Regensburg, Germany, will share their patents pertaining to white and visible LED technologies.

Under the agreement, the two parties will refrain from raising any objections against any patent rights pertaining to white and visible LED technologies, and will cooperate in defending cross licensed patent rights. Additionally, this agreement will enable Seoul Semiconductor to further establish its position

as a world leader in high-brightness and energy-efficient LED lighting solutions.

We have signed an agreement with Cree USA and established a strategic partnership with Toyoda Gosei of Japan. Therefore, this agreement with OSRAM GmbH Germany enables Seoul Semiconductor to consolidate its strong position.

Semiconductor Light Source for AC Power Outlets, Acriche Delivers Higher Brightness by 50%, More Competitive Pricing at 40% Lower

Seoul Semiconductor announced on Sep 13 worldwide release of an upgraded version of Acriche, the world’s first semiconductor lighting source for AC power outlets in US, Europe and Asia.

The new Acriche, package type emitting 200 lumens, is being provided as an emitter with features including higher brightness of 200 lumens at 3.3 Watt, which is nearly 60 lm/W or 50% brighter than the version released last November.  Due to its advanced high-yield device fabrication methods and the economics of high capacity, Seoul Semiconductor is able to reduce the price of the enhanced version of Acriche by 40%, making it more competitively priced to penetrate the conventional lighting market.

The new Acriche is sold as a single emitter without the heat sink PCB which enables greater flexibility for users to design the PCB type and array emitters as they see fit. This characteristic broadens the range of applications for Acriche.
