SPEAKER:
Jed Dorsheimer
Principal, Sr. Equity Analyst
Canaccord Adams

The LED market has seen tremendous change over the past decade, largely
driven by consumer electronics and the handset market. Our detailed analysis
suggests that the downturn seen in the last two years was due to saturation
from this first cycle, but the industry is now poised for a strong recovery as
the next growth phase of mobile consumer electronics gains traction: this time it is notebooks backlighting which we calculate to be significantly larger than the prior handset opportunity. This presentation will provide insight on the current and future supply-demand balance in the industry and discuss pricing trends and investing strategies as we migrate towards the next, and even larger, LED application: general lighting.

BEING KIND TO THE PLANET AND THE BOTTOM LINE: DESIGNING LED MANUFACTURING FACILITIES TO BE CHEAPER, FASTER, AND GREENER
Thursday, February 11         11:00 AM - 11:30 AM

SPEAKER:
Don Carkner
Principal Technologist
CH2M Hill

At the heart of the LED revolution is the need to reduce energy consumption
in displays and lighting products, in order to preserve resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In order to best align with this philosophy, the
manufacturing facilities that produce these devices should also be designed and operated in a manner that‘s as green as possible. While clear in concept, care must be taken to ensure that the path to this target is not unduly diverted by cost or expediency considerations, especially in today‘s economic environment. Fortunately, design methods exist that allow these objectives to be met simultaneously- reducing material and energy use during construction and operation leads to both lower environmental impact and lower cost.
