Opto Semiconductor

Light Emitting Diodes (LED) technology is the driving force behind the OSRAM SYLVANIA LED modules. OSRAM Opto Semiconductor is a leader in manufacturing this new LED technology.

By pairing OSRAM Opto Semiconductor's LEDs with OSRAM SYLVANIA's Research & Development efforts, we are able to produce innovative LED lighting technology that suits the needs of dynamic and unique applications.

OSRAM Opto Semiconductors GmbH of Regensburg is a wholly owned subsidiary of OSRAM, one of the world's two leading lighting manufacturers in the world. It offers its customers solutions based on semiconductor technology for lighting, sensor and visualization applications.

The company employs more than 3,500 people worldwide and operates sites in Regensburg (Germany), Santa Clara (USA) and Penang (Malaysia). Sales for the fiscal year ending September 2006 totaled more than EUR 500 million.

OSRAM Opto Semiconductors produces opto-semiconductors for the lighting, sensor and visualization sectors. Perhaps best known is the light emitting diodes (LED) – tiny components, only a few millimeters in length that converts electrical energy directly into light. Their color is determined by the semiconductor material used.

Important advantages of LED technology include low power consumption, low thermal output, small dimensions and extremely long service life.
