The high brightness Blue LED technology was developed in-house, showing excellent device characteristics (P > 1000 µW) and uniformity on the largest GaN multi-wafer system used in blue LED production in the world (6 x 2"). GE Lighting, EMCORE Corporation Form Company to Enter Global Lighting Market with 'White Light' LEDs New company to be called GELcore LLC. The companies have targeted the second half of 1999 for the introduction of its first commercial white light products.
