Seoul Semiconductor råder over særdeles stærk patentportefølje

Seoul Semiconductor was ranked the number 10 of IEEE Spectrum among 20 of the most valuable patent portfolios in the Semiconductor manufacturing field. Seoul Semiconductor was the only LED manufacturer who registered more than 10,000 patents, and was considered as the highest level in the industry in Patent Power, including pipeline growth index, pipeline impact, and adjusted pipeline impact.

Seoul Semiconductor made its name as the only LED manufacturer who ranked as part of the top 10 LED patent power of a Semiconductor manufacturing field according to the Patent Power 2012 ranking by IEEE (Institute of Electronical and Electronics Engineers) Spectrum Magazine.

Seoul Semiconductor, from its establishment, has made a great deal of effort to develop LED technology for over 20 years, and has built up competitive strength with a variety of proprietary information, such as advancements which aid an efficient emission of the light when electricity flows through an LED chip; Black Hole Lens technology for direct backlight TVs; Acrich technology which operates directly from AC power without any converter, which was the first in the world.

Black Hole lens technology, in particular, is now being applied to all type of direct backlight TV monitors, while this year’s release of nPola, which increases brightness levels 5 to 10 times, led Seoul Semiconductor to the world’s leading innovation level.

The IEEE’s analysis is based on objective, quantitative benchmarking of the patent portfolios of more than 5000 leading commercial enterprises, academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies.
