SEOUL, KOREA – (November 13, 2008)

-首尔半导体同欧洲 TOE 公司及其合作伙伴达成交叉许可协议
- Seoul enters into a cross license agreement with TOE Europe and its patent partners
-基于该协议，首尔半导体增强了生产除白色 LED 以外的各种 LED 的灵活性
- Based on this agreement, Seoul enhances its flexibility in manufacturing LEDsLEDs

领先的韩国 LED 制造商首尔半导体（Seoul Semiconductor Co. Ltd）近日宣布，首尔半导体同欧洲 TridonicAtco Optoelectronics GmbH（简称 TOE）公司及其合作伙伴就白色 LED 使用硅酸盐荧光粉，达成交叉许可协议，

磷是生产白色 LED 不可或缺的原材料。更重要的是，使用了含硅酸盐(silicate system phosphors)的白色 LED 在众多专利中被广泛提及，并与使用其他含磷化合物的普通 LED 有着显著差别。

凭借交叉许可协议，首尔半导体可以自行生产和销售使用了硅酸盐荧光粉的白色 LED，扩大并加速了相关研发实力，从而增强了首尔半导体的行业地位。

基于这一协议，使用了硅酸盐荧光粉的首尔半导体白色 LED 专利及相关协议将受到保护。首尔半导体的客户可以安心使用这种白色 LED。

Seoul Semiconductor Co., Ltd. ("SSC") today announced that SSC has entered into a Cross License Agreement regarding white LEDs using silicate system phosphors with TridonicAtco Optoelectronics GmbH ("TOE") and its patent partners.

Phosphors are indispensable materials to manufacture white LEDs. Especially, white LEDs incorporating silicate system phosphors are covered by a wide variety of patents and are significantly different from conventional LEDs using other phosphors.

Under the Cross License Agreement, SSC is in a very strong position to manufacture and sell its own white LEDs using silicate system phosphors as well as expand and accelerate relevant R&D activities.

Based on this agreement, SSC's white LEDs using silicate system phosphors can be covered by its patents and such license and thus SSC's customers will be able to enjoy using SSC's white LEDs.
