The Mission of this site was to provide a comprehensive portal to the emerging knowledge
that will enable the promise of solid-state lighting

The site was active between December 2001 and September 2006, and the goal was:

“ … to gather together information relevant to solid-state lighting, and to help stimulate the development of the science and technology foundation necessary to enable the promise and potential of solid-state lighting.”

During the time the site was active, it included science, technology, business and national news; a list of relevant conferences; a review of national initiatives; an extensive archive of documents; links to other sites; and coverage of emerging science and technology that will be necessary for, and foundational to, future applications (see the site map for more detail).

We acknowledge the U.S. Department of Energy (Office of Building Technologies Program) for their support of this website.
