WHO: Dr. Alexei
Erchak, founder and chief technology officer of Luminus Devices, the
manufacturer of PhlatLight® (Photonic Lattice light)
LED technology, the brightest commercially available LED in the world. Dr.
Erchak designed, fabricated and tested novel light sources using photonic
lattices and pioneered the photonic lattice light-emitting diodes. Dr. Erchak
brings technical depth in compound semiconductor devices, nano-fabrication
technology, condensed matter theory, and photonics.
WHAT: Dr.
Erchak’s presentation is titled “PhlatLight: A New Solid-State Light Source.”
Dr. Erchak will describe the solid-state light source called PhlatLight®, manufactured by Luminus Devices. PhlatLight
was originally used to illuminated RPTVs in 2006 and is currently being used to
illuminate large back-lighting units for LCD TVs. Due to PhlatLight’s very
high-brightness and efficiency in display, PhlatLight LEDs are helping to
accelerate the transition from conventional to solid-state lighting for general
illumination applications.
