Technology

The development of electroluminescence goes back to the year 1936, however, until the early sixties it did not exceed laboratory stadiums. Among others the general reason was that then people had the idea for the electro luminescent surface lamp to compete with the common bulb and its derivatives. This idea was to fail especially because of the limited efficiency and the technological possibilities of those days.

Today the electro luminescence technique becomes more and more a supplement, in some cases an alternative, to the common light techniques. For applications which need to be illuminated by a shadow less, non dazzling, and homogenous light, often combined with the requests for minimal space, given complex shapes or outlines, cold illumination, limited power consumption, and may be insensitive to shock and temperature influences, the electro luminescence technique becomes the perfect choice.

Basically, luminescence results from the characteristics of certain substances emitting absorbed energy. The stimulation of luminescence by electricity is called electro luminescence, which converts electrical energy into light. Substances used are fluorescent pigments or phosphor compounds. Looking into the future, Climax Technologies is currently investing intensive time and capital into the R&D of new, exciting commercially viable products to satisfy the needs of our end-users, dealers and prospective clients.
