Xicato Secures LED Tech Patents
Xicato, a solid-state lighting
company based in San Jose, Calif., was issued US Patent Nos. 7942556 and 7942540
for its Corrected Cold Phosphor Technology for LED lighting applications. Patent
7942556 addresses fundamental aspects of the technology, which involves separating
different phosphors within a light-mixing chamber, with one type used on a sidewall
and another type on a top element. It solves several problems associated with using
LEDs in many lighting applications, said Xicato’s CEO Menko DeRoos. “As
a result of the advantages inherent with this technology, we believe our products
are able to maintain their lumen output and even color temperature over a 50,000-hour
operating life.”
