Agreement covers Rambus' lighting solutions and patented innovations
for lighting focused on European and Middle Eastern markets
SUNNYVALE, Calif. & ALTON, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ: RMBS), one of the world's premier technology
licensing companies, today announced it has signed a license agreement
with Fern Howard, a market-leading manufacturer of energy efficient
lighting. This agreement enables Fern Howard to sell advanced lighting
products based on Rambus lighting solutions incorporating Rambus
patented innovations including MicroLens® optics technology.
"We are excited to see Rambus lighting solutions expand into the
European and Middle Eastern markets with the help of Fern Howard," said
Jeff Parker, president of the Lighting and Display Technology business
at Rambus. "Using key Rambus technologies, Fern Howard fixtures will
achieve a level of styling, application efficiency, and precise control
of light unmatched in the bulkhead and utility lighting industry."
"We believe edge-lit technology is the much sought-after link between
conventional area lighting fixtures and wide-scale LED adoption. It not
only provides a pleasing, uniform light source, but when coupled with
highly sophisticated MicroLens technology, enables a level of lighting
control that is impossible to achieve with other, less efficient LED
solutions," said Peter Scott, managing director of Fern Howard. "We are
delighted to be working with Rambus and will be showing the first
results of our collaboration with five new edge-lit products at
Light+Build in April."
Market demands for energy-efficient lighting solutions are rising
rapidly, and LED lighting products are the focus for the next-generation
of fixtures in architectural, retail, commercial, and residential
lighting. Rambus' lighting solutions enable general lighting products to
harness the benefits of LEDs by maximizing the useable light output
through precision ray angle control and excellent optical efficiency.
Based on patented Rambus innovations - including LED edge-lit optical
designs, MicroLens light distribution features, high-volume, low-cost
light guide panels, and multi-function film manufacturing technologies -
these lighting solutions allow customers to harness all the benefits of
LEDs in affordable general lighting products. All while using fewer or
lower-cost LEDs, and delivering excellent light quality and output.
