It's About
the System... Designing with the end in mind |
|
8:30a
|
|
Brent York, CTO
-- TIR Systems Ltd. |
|
|
|
|
A collection of components does
not make a system. Building it right takes intention and attention to a
number of factors that component suppliers might not realize. It will take
systems to succeed in the larger marketplace and that requires systems-level
thinking, regardless of your position on the supply chain. Brent is one
of the foremost experts in the industry on system integration and "systems
thought process". |

9:15a
|
Measuring the System... Metrology
for SSL luminaires |
| |
|
Gerry Negley, CTO -- LED Lighting
Fixtures |
|
|
|
|
While testing needs to reflect
the differences SSL offers, it also needs to avoid overstating the result.
Getting real on results can keep us from becoming our own worst enemies
by publishing unbelievable results that don't stand a minimum of scrutiny...
but you have to build it as a system to get the result. |

Battle of the Wavelengths:
White excitation showdown... near UV versus blue |
|
|
|
Chuong Tran, President -- SemiLEDs |
|
|
|
460nm blue is the traditional excitation source
for phosphor-based white lighting. 400nm near-UV sources might be showing
some advantages and we'll hear about some of the real results. |

Lateral vs. Vertical LED Die and the Impact on the System
|
| |
|
Frank
Shum, Director of Product Development -- Bridgelux, Inc. |
|
|
|
Profile and orientation have more impact on
the system than merely determing the height of the board. You'll hear from
a design group that is pushing on innovative form factors to meet the latest
market needs. |

Advanced Drivers: The System Impact is Real |
|
|
|
Ting-Ting Y. Lin, Senior Director, Business Development
-- NXP Semiconductors |
|
|
|
While the impact of a driver can be significant,
many designers only consider the basic efficiency. It turns out that efficiency
is only one factor of many to consider when it comes to the system approach
that today's designer must employ. |

Phosphor for Power Devices: Truth in performance for
phosphor technologies |
| |
|
Yi-Qun Li, General Manager, Phosphor
Division -- Intematix |
|
|
|
Lighting is predicated on stability. Hear
about strategies and results for stabilizing
single phosphor mixes versus multi-phosphor mixes. Where is this technology
going?
What happens with change in operating temperature? What about dimming, aging
effects?
What appears to work and what should people be aware of in good designs? |

|
Silicone Lens Development for LEDs |
| |
|
T.Y. Lim -- NuSil Technology Asia |
| |
|
|
As silicone encapsulants have become more widely used in LED packaging, differences in Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) of non-silicone lenses can present limitations during processing and operation. The ability for silicone to be heat and UV resistant compared to other moldable plastics, as well as contribute to higher brightness, silicone lenses are an excellent option to overcome some of these issues while increasing reliability and brightness. |

Pre-conference Manufacturing Workshop
- US$49
... Silicone in the Machine ...
Using Silicones in LED Packaging and Manufacturing Processes
Workshop Instructors: NuSil Technologies
Simplicity in design, from the die to the lens, silicone
has become a standard material in the packaging of LEDs due to its great optical
properties and ability to handle extreme temperatures. Silicone's chemistry
can be adapted to function as optically clear encapsulants, thermally conductive
adhesives, and even primers. By understanding fundamentals of silicone properties
and cure chemistry, those working with silicone can better understand processing
parameters to increase yields and decrease down time. The course will also discuss
how to consider material compatibilities with the variety of silicones available
that can increase brightness, reliability and can handle the heat.
Who should attend: Designers and Engineers currently using, or considering
use of, silicone encapulants, lenses, or adhesives, in LED packages and desire
a better understanding of material capabilities and how to improve yields and
product performance.
At Blue 2007, the Solid State Lighting Suppliers
Forum you will hear the stories behind the stories, direct from
the market drivers, and learn where the hottest applications are headed. Whether
you're an advanced LED system integrator, device manufacturer, or supplying
to them, Blue 2007 is for you!

Blue 2007, the Solid
State Lighting Suppliers Forum will be well attended
