EuroLED® is based on a nano-engineering technology that allows designing the luminescent properties of phosphor materials in a completely novel manner.

Key Points: 
  • EuroLED® is based on a nano-engineering technology that allows designing the luminescent properties of phosphor materials in a completely novel manner.
  • As such, EuroLED® would be the first nano size-based phosphor produced at an industrial scale, which requires very different expertise and production facilities compared to conventional larger phosphor materials.
  • In the proposed project, Seaborough and Current Chemicals will work together towards commercial readiness of Seaborough’s EuroLED® technology.
  • Current Chemicals is the ideal partner for us to move forward to bring these premium phosphors to the market together”, Van de Haar concludes.
