HISTORY

A short glance back over the history of the LED & ACS:
1907 The Englishman Henry Joseph Round discovers that inorganic materials can light up when an electric current is applied. In the same year, he publishes his discovery in the journal “Electrical World”.
Since, however, he was working mainly on a new direction-finding system for marine transport, this discovery initially is forgotten.
1935 The French physicist Georges Destriau discovers light emission in zinc sulfide. In honor of the Russian physicist, he calls the effect “Lossew light”. Today Georges Destriau is credited as the inventor of electroluminescence.
1995 The first LED with white light from luminescence conversion is presented and is launched on the market two years later.
2010 LEDs of a certain colour with a gigantic luminous efficacy of 250 lumens per watt are already being developed under laboratory conditions. Progress continues to surge ahead. Today, further development towards OLED is seen as the technology of the future.
