New materials and manufacturing techniques are bringing LEDs closer to cost-effectiveness. The venerable lightbulb is going high-tech, thanks to LEDs: Light-emitting diode products are more efficient, longer-lived and more versatile than incandescent and fluorescent lighting. But solid-state lighting is more expensive. Fortunately, ongoing innovations in LED semiconductors, substrates, phosphors and other materials – combined with volume manufacturing – are cutting costs, changing the value calculation in the $100 billion worldwide illumination market. “We’re...Read full article
