Sanan OptoElectronics is to expand its manufacturing capacity of high brightness light emitting diodes (HB-LEDs).
The Chinese company will use Veeco Instruments TurboDisc Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) Systems to achieve their new targets.

Simon Lin, chief executive officer of Sanan, explained the company was seeing a high demand for LEDs in applications such as outdoor displays and TV backlight.
"The addition of Veeco s high productivity MOCVD systems to our manufacturing facilities … ensures that we can continue to increase output of our market-leading HB-LEDs," he said.
