The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) is mulling to use energy-efficient and durable LED to replace bulbs in Metro Manila's traffic light system.

...Yang`s company has been Taiwan`s No.1 and the world`s No.5 supplier of cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) for liquid crystal display (LCD) TVs since its founding in 1994. Now it is the only local manufacturer in Taiwan of T5 lamps since branching out into CCFL and LED segments last year, with CCFLs being the mainstream light source in Europe for its very high energy-efficiency-to-dimension ratio among all fluorescent lamps. Yang`s CCFLs measure only five-eighth inch...

...And then came July. First, AUO reported lower-than-expected revenues for June. Then LG Display warned that LCD "demand will be soft in July and August and panel prices will continue to fall." Third in line came Sony, which announced that demand for large-screen LCD TVs is so much less than expected that it's been forced to cut production at one of its US plants. Contradicting Weeks' assertion of "reasonable" inventory levels among Corning customers, Sony warned that it has to work down some of its "accumulated inventory."..

The Japanese government is backing Sony, Toshiba, Sharp and some other companies in joint research of new display technology called organic light-emitting diodes, or OLED.

Japan's Matsushita Electric Works Ltd. said Tuesday it had developed a fluorescent lamp that does not use mercury or a gas-discharging process.

OLED faces a renewed attack from rival technology Field Emission Displays (FED), after Sony spin-off Field Emission Technologies (FET) confirmed it will purchase Pioneer's plasma factory next year.

With E12 candelabra base, Model DEC01-B10E12 Flame Tip Chandelier white LED bulb can directly replace E12 candelabra-base incandescent bulbs, allowing lifespan of up to 50,000 hr.

Sony Corp. is considering outsourcing more of its liquid crystal display television production, President Ryoji Chubachi said.

Luminus Devices,the developer and manufacturer of PhlatLight (Photonic Lattice) LEDs that are used in display and lighting applications, today announced it has received its 21st United States patent for its PhlatLight technology.

With all the talk about green alternatives, LED lighting is set to become a multi-billion industry in Australia, with the state and federal governments set to pass legislation dictating to both electricians and installers as to what they can install in terms of new and retrofitted lighting.

Almost all the battery-powered televisions stashed in drawers, closets and garages in case of emergency will be rendered useless when broadcasters switch to digital-only signals....nobody manufactures a battery-powered converter box. And the few battery-powered digital TV models on the market start at about US$200 –a costly option for replacing portable sets that have become increasingly inexpensive in recent years.
