LEDs and OLEDs Coexist and Excel in Different Applications (OLEDs LIVE! USA 2013)

Over the last few years, OLEDs have been making great progress in improving efficiency; however LEDs have been making even greater progress in achieving very high efficiency and much lower cost! Currently LEDs are not competing with OLEDs in general lighting applications. OLEDs are very well suited for small displays; however, LEDs are dramatically ahead in terms of efficiency and cost in general lighting applications. OLEDs and LEDs will coexist for a foreseeable future, each addressing a different application.

Vachik Javadian is responsible for managing Cree's Americas field application engineering team and has been supporting LED lighting customers in developing energy efficient fixtures for the past 4 years. He has helped major LED customers develop state of the art LED based lighting fixtures by implementing proper LED, electrical, thermal, optical and mechanical designs.

Vachik holds a M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from San Jose State University.

Vachik successfully designed and developed over 30 Gate Arrays and Digital/Analog Standard Cell ICs at National Semiconductor where he worked for 10 years as a Sr. Staff design engineer.

Vachik worked for Cypress Semiconductor Corporation for 17 years. As a Sr. Staff Field Application Engineer, he helped customers design various electronics systems. Vachik conducted hundreds of region-wide technical seminars and VHDL/Verilog trainings for design engineers. Vachik covered Mixed Signal Microcontrollers, USB, Wireless/RF, SerDes, Framers, Capacitive Sensing, Lighting and Power Control, CPLDs and FPGAs. He developed LED color mixing control systems using analog/digital microcontrollers.

Cree is leading the LED lighting revolution and making energy-wasting traditional lighting technologies obsolete through the use of energy-efficient, mercury-free LED lighting. Cree is a market-leading innovator of lighting-class LEDs, LED lighting and semiconductor products for power and radio-frequency (RF) applications.
