Recently, MicroSolar Corp. announced to target mass production of super-bright LED lamps in the initial stage and would step into the concentrator photovoltaic solar-cell business in the second phase.
MicroSolar, which controls key technologies for high-efficiency heat-dissipation materials, was just established in February this year with initial capitalization of only NT$20 million. The young company, however, owns patented technologies for heat-dissipation materials and has successfully trial-produced two super-bright LED lamp modules, the MR16 and E27, with a monthly output volume of 10,000 units. MicroSolar got big breakthrough in the cooper/aluminum bonding techniques so could easily overcome the formidable heat-dissipation problems in LED industry. The company has applied for patents in over 100 nations.
Adopting LED chips supplied by Epistar Corp. plus its self-developed heat-dissipation techniques, MicroSolar’s super-bright LED lamp modules are three-times as bright than counterparts made by Philips, Osram, Nichia etc. it’s said that MicroSolar’s LED lamp has set new record for brightness. In addition to the targeted super-bright LED lamps and CPV solar-cells for the first and second-stage plans.
MicroSolar is introducing semi-automated production equipment and the company expects to achieve a daily capacity of 80,000 LED lamps by October.
