What is an LED?
An LED or light-emitting diode is a semiconductor light source. Used as indicator lamps in many devices, LEDs are now being used for many lighting applications both commercially and domestically. LEDs are a “green” source of light as compared to incandescent light bulbs. Advantages of LEDs are longer life, more energy efficiency, improved robustness, smaller size, faster switching, and more reliable and durable.

Over the past three years, we have sold over a dozen Micralign™ Projection Mask Aligners into the HB LED market. We have been told by the LED manufacturers “It is accepted knowledge that brighter LEDs are achieved through the use of Projection Mask Aligners.” We continue to work with many LED manufacturers to give them the best lithography equipment to make better and brighter LEDs now and in the future.

Solar Devices
Solar Device also referred to as a solar cell; simply put, this is a device that converts sunlight energy into electricity by the photovoltaic (PV) effect. PV is the area of technology related to the application of solar cells in producing electricity for practical use. In short; sunlight is captured by a solar panel and absorbed by semiconducting materials. The electrons are knocked loose from their atoms, thus allowing them to flow through the material to produce electricity.

Solar cells need a more cost effective way to get produced. This is why a Micralign™ with OS2000 is the best solution for any Solar Cell producer. We can customize a system to meet most customers’ specifications. Give us the opportunity to quote on your requirements.
