LEDs and Power Electronic Innovations Converge to Handle Module-Level Thermal Management

In 2015, all economic indicators pointed to continued market growth for power electronics and LEDs, especially with IGBT modules boosted by EV/HEV industry and general lighting applications, a killer application for LEDs since 2012. To support this growth and answer the thermal management needs in power electronics and LED, many innovative technologies are emerging. “Power electronics and LEDs are different industries that today face similar challenges,” said Dr. Pierric Gueguen, business unit manager at Yole, in a press release about the report.
