The main objective of this program is to develop high extraction phosphor systems. The approach for achieving the high efficiency goals is based on maximizing the extraction and quantum efficiencies of the phosphor materials at the LED operating temperatures. This is a comprehensive program for the refinement of its patented sulfoselenide systems as well as the development of new bulk and nanocrystalline derivatives with improved QY, thermal and chemical stability.
