The agreement was originally announced on April 22, 2013, and the companies have now completed the transfer of Bridgelux GaN-on-Silicon technology assets to Toshiba and inaugurated this new phase of GaN-on-Silicon LED collaboration, including an expanded licensing and manufacturing supply relationship. Bridgelux will continue to develop and market its leading GaN-on-Sapphire LED products as a fabless solid state lighting company.
“We are thrilled to be moving into the next stage of our joint work with Toshiba to advance GaN-on-Silicon-based solid state lighting technologies,” said Brad Bullington, Chief Executive Officer of Bridgelux. “As we outlined last month, Bridgelux will focus on commercializing, productizing and bringing to market GaN-on-Silicon technologies alongside a proven global scale semiconductor manufacturer. At the same time, we remain committed to our GaN-on-Sapphire business and look forward to continuing to provide world-class innovation and service to our customers.”
