Tucson: Solterra Licenses Technique from U of A
TUCSON Arizona Daily Star July 29, 2009
UA in exclusive deal for LED technology
Solterra Renewable Technologies
announced an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with the University of Arizona for its patented screenprinting techniques to fabricate LEDs, or light-emitting diodes.
The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The Tempe-based company, a subsidiary of Hague Corp., said the agreement to make organic LEDs will greatly reduce the cost and thus expand their use.
LEDs are used in batteries, sensors, conductors, lighting, and logic and memory. The UA technology makes significant improvements and could result in lower prices and higher definition, increased viewing angles, lower power consumption and reduced response time for an enhanced picture, Solterra said.
Solterra CEO Stephen Squires said in a prepared statement that screen-printing techniques have “useful similarities” to the solar cells that Solterra makes.
