Semiconductors for a
Brighter, Healthier Future
Introducing the Far-UVC
ShortWaveLight 215 Emitter
Our far-UVC ShortWaveLight 215™ Emitter is the world’s only solid-state semiconductor that produces invisible, high-energy disinfecting light (ultraviolet germicidal irradiation) in the human-safe far-UVC spectrum. Generating light at 215 nanometers, it is the world's highest-energy semiconductor light source.
Far-UVC light inactivates a vast range of microbes, viruses that cause Covid 19 and the flu, and other infectious pathogens in the air, water, and on surfaces. With a short spectrum wavelength range from 200-to-230 nanometers, if is safer to use around people than traditional UVC light at 254nm and longer wavelengths.
​
Our proprietary nitride semiconductor is integrated in a lamp based on a patented thermionic cathodoluminescent vacuum tube triode. Other sources of short-wavelength far-UVC light are based on older gas-plasma technologies that run at higher temperatures and have larger form factors than our emitters.

Nanowire LEDs
For a Brighter Future
Toward the World's
Most Efficient LEDs
We are on a development roadmap to deliver the world's first efficient and affordable nanowire-based LEDs for both visible RGB displays and invisible UVC light for disinfection. We have already announced breakthroughs in LED performance, with laboratory fabrication of nitride semiconductor nanoLEDs that have the potential to deliver orders-of-magnitude improvements in brightness, efficiency, color saturation, directionality, and power consumption.
With manufacturing partners who license our nanoLED technology to develop next-generation large displays, microdisplays, and AR/VR displays, we expect to commercialize the world's most efficient nanoLEDs. At the same time we are on track to develop the world's first far-UVC nanoLEDs for disinfection applications.
