iNEMI Roadmap For Solid State Illumination

There are several published solid state lighting roadmaps which typically focus on materials and device research. The iNEMI (International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative) Solid State Illumination (SSI) Roadmap complements these roadmaps with a supply chain focus and an industry needs assessment that is broader than that typically identified by government and university research communities. The iNEMI Roadmap, which has become an important tool for identifying technology gaps and possible solutions for the global electronics industry, looks across multiple industries for trends and directions that drive market opportunities. Highlights from the 2009 SSI Roadmap will be addressed, including: product level assembly hierarchies; gaps and showstoppers; critical infrastructure issues and paradigm shifts; technology needs and possible solutions; and recommendations on priorities. The 2009 iNEMI SSI Roadmap is the inaugural iNEMI Roadmap in this technology space.
