GaN High Electron Mobility Tansistor for LED lighting application
Industry type:Electronics and communication
Product model number:ES-HD3535
EPISTAR CORPORATION
award 3

GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) device applied to LED lighting as a novel lighting solution is first suggested by EPISTAR in the world. This LED lighting solution is integrated with GaN HEMT, LED chip and driver on board (DOB) technology in the circuit. Compare to conventional LED driver, our solution provide 15% efficiency improve in operation and reduce 33% component quantity consume in production. Thus, one should be able to realize a high efficiency, low production cost, compact and robust LED lighting device by using our solution. The key components of LED lighting are made in the Taiwan including LED chip GaN HEMT etc. All of the lighting circuit design and assembly are also in Taiwan.

About EPISTAR CORPORATION

In 1996, a handful of visionaries founded Epistar to usher in the LED era, decades before solid state lighting became today’s ubiquitous commodity and highly-anticipated lighting source. First-hand knowledge and insight led the fledgling Epistar to pursue cutting-edge production and engineering innovation in epitaxy. And with accumulated expertise and expansive capacity, today Epistar sits firmly as the premier global supplier. Epistar has already worked with some of the most well-known brands around the world, popularizing LED applications on cell phone screens, laptops, television, and much more. Thus Epistar is able to inject the benefits of solid state lighting into everyday life.

Epistar Corporation was founded in 1996. At that time, ITRI successfully built the LED chip technology by using Metal-organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) and supported by some LED corporation. Therefore Epistar was born as a professional LED chip manufacturer. Epistar went through several acquisitions in his corporate history. Management team of Epistar thinks there is principal-subordinate relationship in an “acquisition”, but there is not in a “combination”. Epistar thinks taking acquisition as a combination is important. It not only helps people from different company to work smoothly, also speeds up the pace of uniting two companies. Epistar went through five acquisitions during 2005 to 2015. Now Epistar is a huge corporate with over 5000 employees; patents, technologies, and capacity also accumulated after several acquisitions. Epistar attracted the world-leading brands’ attention and became one of important players in the global LED industry.
