LEDs

Roy Szweda

Regular readers will be aware of our coverage of the application markets for compound semiconductors, in particular those in the automotive sector where the high radiance, robustness and low-cost of LEDs ensures their consideration in many on-board systems.

However, LEDs are also starting to make other contributions peripheral to the vehicle itself.

Here we look at the high-performance end of vehicle technology to show how LEDs are improving not only the safety but also the enjoyment of motor sport.
