Blue 2005/Advanced LEDs
The 3rd International Industry Review:
LED Technologies Driving
the Solid State Lighting Revolution

It All Happened at the Ambassador Hotel - Hsinchu
Hsinchu, Taiwan May 16-18, 2005

In 2004, Taiwan, China and Korea once again tripled their unit production of GaN LEDs, and now supply the majority of blue LEDs in the world*
Taiwan dominates the global production of InGaAlP HB LEDs, with more than 80% share*
Asian HB-LED packaging and chip companies are helping drive next generation technologies in LED design and applications
The major markets for HB-LEDs, from cell phones and LCD backlight manufacturing, to end applications including the Solid State Lighting Revolution in China, are located in Asia
Wherever you're located -- in or out of Asia -- Taiwan, Korea and China are the locations of your suppliers, competitors and customers. Do you know who they are?

As we learned at Blue 2003, things are changing, and not so quietly anymore. Emerging from laboratory curiosity, the blue spectrum technologies have become a completed "industry". At the Blue 2004 event in Hsinchu, nearly 200 attendees saw the incredible growth and unity of mission that the blue spectrum leaders have to make solid state lighting an everyday reality. Blue 2005/Advanced LEDs 2005 was a powerful follow-up event with over 200 in attendance, examining the latest happenings in this news making industry.

This 3rd Annual international event gathered together the complete vertical market, from leading manufacturers and developers of advanced materials and processes, to devices, packaging and system assembly. In addition to these key updates, a primary goal of the event was to continue to promote the rapid deployment, acceptance, and mainstream market adoption of solid state semiconductor light emitting technologies and devices. A special highlight of this year’s conference was a focus session on IP and patent issues, not only featuring views from industry insiders, but from outside the industry as practicing IP experts discuss the lessons learned from other high-growth technology industries as they moved from innovation to commercial success. Talk to anyone who attended, and you'll understand why you need to be there next year!
