Long life and radically reduced power requirements — approximately 10 percent of comparable lighting — make LEDs ideal for cellphone and PDA back lighting, signage, interior and exterior auto applications, video screens, and more. Blue LDs generate five-fold increases digital storage capacity, as well as transfer rates in CDs and DVDs.

 

Rubicon's ES2-PSA sapphire substrates are used in the GaN thin-film deposition process for the manufacture of blue LEDs, LD, sensors, and detectors.
