LED light sources, which are used in everything from televisions and consumer light bulbs, are typically made with a semiconductor -- gallium nitride -- on a layer of sapphire. Bridgelux has developed a process for depositing gallium nitride on silicon, which the company believes will lead to lower costs by leveraging the existing semiconductor industry infrastructure. Bridgelux's press release can be accessed at bridgelux.com/media-center/press-releases/bridgelux-and-toshiba/.
Harris & Harris Group is an investor in privately held Bridgelux.
