Dr. Andras Poppe to teach on new JEDEC LED Thermal Testing Standards at coolingZONE LED 2012
An LEDs' dissipation, the package thermal resistance (or impedance) and thermal environment (including ambient temperature and actual cooling conditions) are key parameters for LED operation both at end-users in the field and during laboratory and production testing. To predict LED operation in a final application requires proper testing and characterization of the LEDs themselves and to be able to simulate the final Solid State Lighting (SSL) product.

Has the price of copper made graphene viable for thermal management?
Has the price of copper made it more cost effective for heat spreaders to use graphene or a graphene and copper hybrid? According to North Carolina State Uinversity researcer Jag Kasichainula the answer may be yes. His design dissipates heat 25% faster than with pure copper alone and with the escalating price of copper, graphene is looking very attractive. details>>
