NICHIA

With a market share of more than 20%, Nichia is the largest LED manufacturer in the world. Nichia LEDs are characterized by a particularly high durability, efficiency and brightness and in addition they are quite affordable. All light emitting diodes (LEDs) from Nichia are in categories:5mm LEDs, 3mm LEDs, SuperFlux LEDs and SMD LEDs. Due to the extraordinary LED quality, Nichia LEDs are used in LED strips and modules.

Having “Ever Researching for a Brighter World” as Nichia’s motto, Nichia has grown in the field of manufacturing and sales of fine chemicals, particularly inorganic luminescent materials (phosphors). In the process of the challenging pursuit of brighter luminescent and light-emitting materials, Nichia succeeded in developing and commercializing the super high brightness Blue LED in 1993. It was accepted with great amazement in the related industries throughout the world. Since the first announcement of the Blue LED in 1993, Nitride-based LEDs in different emission colors ranging from Ultraviolet to Yellow have been contributing to the diversification of LED application fields. In addition to LEDs, a lot of resources are now being focused on the R/D of bluish purple laser diodes, which will definitely play a key role for the further expansion of the information media industry. We have a belief that Nitride-based semiconductors will become one of the most exciting areas of the semiconductor industry in the near future. We hope that Nichia will continue to be a company that will be able to make a contribution to the world by evolving its original and unique technologies in the field of manufacturing.

Nichia LED Lights The invention of these Nitride-based LED and laser diodes causes the technological innovation of light source in the field of display, general lighting, automotive, industrial equipment, and medical care & measurement. Nichia has been taking the lead to develop and manufacture LEDs, LD (Laser Diodes) and semiconductor materials based on the technology cultivated since its foundation. As an innovator of the light, Nichia will continue to make contributions to the further improvement of life and industry in the years to come.
Nichia also strives to develop the unique chemical products such as cathode materials for Lithium-ion batteries which are the key materials in the fields of energy, phosphors, magnetic materials, vacuum evaporation materials, organometallic compounds, and medical materials. These chemical products are based on the core technologies in powder synthesis Nichia has built up during its many years.
By maintaining a consistent quality management system through product planning, development, design, prototype production, mass production, sales, and logistics, Nichia will continue to explore the world’s best monotsukuri* that is environmentally-friendly and enhance its services to make customers satisfied.

Nichia is creating, manufacturing, and developing that are not only focused on the simple process of manufacturing inside a factory but also include the creation, utilization, and combination of ideas, technologies, and expertise. Nichia has grown in the field of development, manufacturing and sales of fine chemicals, particularly inorganic luminescent materials (phosphors). In the process of the challenging pursuit of brighter luminescent and light-emitting materials, we succeeded in developing and commercializing the super high brightness Blue LED in 1993, which greatly impressed the world. Since the first introduction of the Blue LED in 1993, we succeeded in developing the world’s first white LED by combining yellow phosphor and blue LED, followed by the successful development of practical level of blue-violet semiconductor laser for the first time in the world.
