Epistar said that it might form a joint venture with Leyard for the project and will invest by stage depending on the operation.

The chip maker recently announced the plan to expand its Mini LED capacity. Seeing the increasing demands, Epistar said it will double its capital expenditure in Mini LED, particularly for inspection and testing equipment.

Nichia’s 2-in-1 LED allows for elegant colour tuning and mixing because everything is under a single LES; this can be seen easily in edge-lit solutions. Currently, luminaire manufacturers must use two LEDs in side-by-side to achieve colour tuning. This creates unwanted optical distributions and visual effects while also limiting the lumen output that can be achieved in a single luminaire. Now, luminaire manufacturers can achieve the performance they need by integrating Nichia’s 2-in-1 LED.
