Samsung LED and KOPTI collaborate on LED lighting 

On 30 June, Samsung LED Co Ltd (the LED-making venture of Korea’s Samsung Electronics) and the Korea Photonics Technology Institute (KOPTI) signed a technology collaboration agreement with the aim of accelerating the development of LED lighting-related technology and cultivating highly skilled R&D manpower.

Samsung LED Co Ltd says that, with manufacturing expertise gained from the years of experience in the LED business, it is now seeking to achieve maximum synergy by using the assets that KOPTI has accumulated over many years, including technical skills, highly skilled researchers, and equipment.

Over the next three years, research will be undertaken at the ‘Samsung LED-KOPTI LED lighting technology collaboration center’, established within KOPTI. The main fields on which the two organizations will focus are the development of technologies for LED lighting, and core technologies for next-generation lighting and LED packages.

Through early development of supplementary (yet essential) technologies within the center, both organizations are aiming not only to achieve global competitiveness but also to expand cooperation on global standards.
