Show topic LC Windows Technology Liquid Crystal Windows Technology Liquid Crystal Display Technology delivers superior light and energy management in glass-fronted buildings A liquid crystal window technology newly developed by EMD Performance Materials helps conserve energy in glass-fronted buildings. As glass buildings proliferate and the size of buildable glazing units increases, architects, construction companies and designers are envisioning completely transparent and uncluttered structures combining all the functional features required in a high-performance glass façade. In the western world, buildings account for around 40% of total energy usage. A large part of consumed energy goes on lighting (20% of total usage) and cooling (15%). Various measures are available to reduce a building's energy consumption. Glazing is a crucial consideration that directly offers energy-saving potential. EMD Performance Materials' licrivision™ technology (Liquid Crystal Window technology, LCW for short) is able to optimise sunlight and thermal radiation impinging on modern glazed surfaces and so conserve energy. Show topic Chemicals for Electronic Industry Chemicals for Electronic Industry EMD Performance Materials is a leading global producer of high quality, high-purity specialty chemical materials for the fast growing electronics market. Our materials are widely used in integrated circuits and devices, flat panel displays and light-emitting diodes. Focus Areas & Products Integrated Circuits The division manufactures niche products such as dielectrics, underlayers, yield enhancers, CMP slurries and pattern enhancers, as well as conventional products consisting of IC photoresist (light-sensitive material), thick film resists, edge bead removers and other ancillary products. This division also includes photolithographic printing chemicals for printing plates, which are used in the printing industry. Show topic Display Materials EMD Performance Materials produces FPD photoresist (light-sensitive material) for FPDs and photoresist, ancillaries and silicon chemistry based products for other industries. Demand in display materials is being driven by three primary trends: the economic and demographic shifts in emerging markets, technological advancements, and new business models for technology companies. Show topic AZ Products We make high-purity, advanced specialty chemicals and materials for use in integrated circuits and devices, flat panel displays and photolithographic printing. Show topic Materials for Lighting Materials for Lighting Lighting materials from EMD Performance Materials are unique in their quality and performance - and thus pave the way for effective, energy-saving lighting applications. Read more Close topic Lighting up the future with EMD Performance Materials Today's lighting technologies, with halogen bulbs and fluorescent lamps, have developed out of the traditional light bulb. For environmental reasons, much attention has been paid to energy saving light bulbs up to now. Most conventional products available on the market, however, still contain substances which are harmful to the environment. In contrast, inorganic LEDs (light emitting diodes) are extremely environmentally friendly and completely energy efficient. For these reasons, they are being used more often in commercial lighting products. LEDs allow objects to appear in their natural color (high CRI Color Rendering Index), while good dimmability is just one of the other factors which sets them apart from energy saving bulbs. Meanwhile, the next generation of lighting sources is currently being developed in research laboratories around the world: so-called OLEDs (organic light emitting diodes) can generate light from purely organic compounds. This technology will open up new opportunities in technology and application. In close cooperation with market leaders, EMD Performance Materials is a reliable partner in the development of innovative materials for the future technologies of LEDs and OLEDs.
