First LED with nano-engineered Eu3+-based phosphor
Seaborough B.V., a pioneer in nanoscience and luminescent technology, and Luminus Devices, an established innovator in advanced lighting technologies, have announced a partnership aimed at bringing the first LED with nano-engineered Eu3+-based phosphor to market on a commercial scale.
The partnership provides Luminus Devices with early access to Seaborough’s unique phosphor technology, EuroLED™, which enables high-quality, more sustainable warm white LED lighting applications. By testing the patented phosphor technology in LED packages from Luminus Devices, Seaborough will expedite the development of its EuroLED technology. Both parties anticipate their collaboration will facilitate the scale-up and global launch of the first LED lighting applications produced with EuroLED.
EuroLED™ technology is a patented nano-engineered Eu3+-based phosphor solution for warm white LEDs. It emits unique narrow-band red light. With this, EuroLED™ provides 10% to 20% more lumens per watt than existing phosphors in the CRI 80-90 range, making it significantly more sustainable. In addition, EuroLED™ is processed without hydrofluoric acid and without oxygen restrictions.
EuroLED is the first commercial phosphor to utilise nanomaterials, with particle sizes that can be precisely tuned, ranging from sub-100 nm to several microns. The technology’s ability to fine-tune optical properties and particle sizes makes it highly adaptable and applicable to a wide range of potential uses.
Marie Anne van de Haar, CEO of Seaborough, says, “After almost a decade of research, I’m taking this very important step forward in bringing our EuroLED™ technology to the market. Luminus Devices is our trusted partner in this ambitious project and an early adopter in this space. Bringing Eu3+-based phosphor to solid-state lighting has long been a goal of the industry as it unlocks never-before-seen efficiencies. Luminus Devices and Seaborough share a vision that nano-engineered EuroLED™ technology can make this ambition a reality.”
Mark Pugh, CEO, Luminus adds, “As an early adopter of this innovative Eu3+-based phosphor technology, we believe it represents a transformative step forward for the solid-state LED lighting industry. Together with Seaborough, we are paving the way for unprecedented efficiencies in lighting, and we share a common vision of turning this technological ambition into a market reality. This collaboration underscores our commitment to innovation and excellence in Commercial, Residential, and Specialty Lighting markets.”
