Group Introduction and Research Objectives |
|
|
| |
The
mission (role, goal) of LED R&D Lab. is to strengthen
competitiveness of existing LED business at LG as
well as to create new opportunities for business sector
through the development of innovative high performance
devices based on GaN and GaAs related compound semiconductor
technology. LED R&D Lab. constantly seeks to acquire
proprietary technologies and reinforce its core capability
in order to create added value for LED business at
LG. |

Major Research Accomplishments |
|
|
| |
Since
LED research has been started in 1994, LED R&D
Lab. has developed Korea¡¯s first high brightness
blue LED in 1997. Also, we have developed blue LED
for PCS LCD backlight and camera flash in 2004. Currently,
LED R&D Lab. focuses its efforts on the development
of high power blue/green/red LEDs for LCD TV backlights.

Major Areas of Research |
|
|
| |
Current
research activities in LED R&D Lab. can be divided
into 3 groups, LED Epitaxial Growth Group, LED Process
& Package Group, New Technology Group. For the
area of epitaxial growth, blue LED epitaxial growth
techniques have been developed for PCS LCD backlight
and camera flash, and development of high brightness
blue/green/red LEDs and UV LED is being actively pursued
for backlighting of mid to large area LCD displays
such as LCD TV.
LED process & package group has been involved
in the development of the entire process, fabrication,
and package technologies related to etching, electrode,
photolithography, lens, and package materials.
The area of the research for new technology group
includes use of new substrate materials and development
of new opto-electronic devices. |
