SunLike LED patent and business rights transferred from Toshiba Materials to Seoul Semi

South Korea’s Seoul Semiconductor Co Ltd expects to expand its business for SunLike natural sunlight spectrum LED technology (optimized for the natural human circadian biorhythm, which has a 24-hour cycle) after completion of the transfer of patent rights and business rights from Japan’s Toshiba Materials Co Ltd.

Seoul Semiconductor and Toshiba Materials were jointly involved in the development and launch of SunLike in 2017, which has required investment to further expand production and sales. As a result of continuous consultation between the two companies over the past two years to improve the speed of decision making and operational efficiency for the SunLike business, Seoul Semiconductor has acquired all the technology, patents, trademarks etc related to SunLike. Key workers from Toshiba Materials also joining Seoul Semiconductor, and will begin work on expanding sales from September.

While the spectrum of products that many lighting companies advertise as human-centric light (HCL) simply lowers the blue light peak, SunLike provides light closest to the sunlight spectrum, claims Seoul Semiconductor. Over the last three years, the firm has conducted memory and learning comparison experiments in the USA, Europe and Korea plus myopia prevention experiments in Singapore, with regard to the use of lighting with SunLike technology, and will announce the results in October 2021 and at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2022).
