Cyberlux Corporation Defines Breakthrough Hybrid Organic / Inorganic Lighting Capability.Company's Exclusive Rights to Hybrid Lighting Technology from University of California-Santa Barbara Combined with Exclusive Rights to Scattered Photon Extraction Technology from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, at Troy, N.Y.; coeducational; founded and opened 1824 as Rensselaer School; chartered 1826. It was called Rensselaer Institute from 1837 to 1861. Creates Foundation for Sustainable Competitive Advantage RESEARCH TRIANGLE, N.C. -- Cyberlux Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board OTC Bulletin Board An electronic quotation listing of the bid and asked prices of OTC stocks that do not meet the requirements to be listed on the NASDAQ stock-listing system. : CYBL CYBL Copy Byte Left ), a developer and manufacturer of solid-state lighting Solid state lighting (SSL) refers to a type of lighting that utilizes light-emitting diodes (LEDs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), or polymer light-emitting diodes (PLED) as sources of illumination rather than electrical filaments or gas. solutions, announced today that the Company intends to introduce breakthrough lighting products created through the combination of the hybrid organic / inorganic white and multi-color lighting technology acquired from the University of California-Santa Barbara with the Scattered Photon Extraction(TM) (SPE SPE - Software Practice and Experience ) technology acquired from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Cyberlux will commercialize the resulting proprietary lighting technology as "Hybrid White Light" (HWL HWL Hutchison Whampoa Limited (Hong Kong) HWL Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (author) HWL High Warlord (gaming, World of Warcraft) HWL Hazardous Waste List HWL High Water Line ) and "Hybrid Multi-color Light" (HML HML Hämeenlinna (Finland) HML Hawaii Medical Library HML High Minus Low (Book to Market Value ratio) HML Hard Money Lender (real estate) HML Human Media Lab ). The resulting lighting technology will yield a lower cost, more energy-efficient lighting source than currently available in solid-state light-emitting diode (LED) solutions. Traditional LED lighting sources produce light when a solid-state material emits a photon through a phosphor A rare earth material used to coat the inside face of a CRT. When struck by an electron beam, the phosphor emits a visible light for a few milliseconds. In color displays, red, green and blue phosphor dots are grouped as a cluster. See screen burn. downconversion material to create white and multi-color light. With HWL and HML, the phosphor is replaced with a less costly, more efficient polymer or organic film downconversion material. In addition, the use of the SPE technology further improves the light output and efficacy of the resulting light source. Because of the fundamental difference in the nature of the HWL and HML technologies, Cyberlux intends to broadly market the technology across large lighting industry market segments through OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and licensing and Cyberlux product solutions for direct and indirect task and accent lighting applications, indoor/outdoor down-lighting applications, residential and office lighting applications, and military and Homeland Security Noun 1. Homeland Security - the federal department that administers all matters relating to homeland security Department of Homeland Security executive department - a federal department in the executive branch of the government of the United States applications. "By combining the two technologies acquired from these leading solid-state lighting research institutes, we are positioned to introduce breakthrough lighting products to the entire lighting industry," observed Mark D. Schmidt, president and chief operating officer Chief Operating Officer (COO) The officer of a firm responsible for day-to-day management, usually the president or an executive vice-president. of Cyberlux. "Our Company's ability to commercialize innovative, proprietary lighting technologies such as HWL and HML, either in our unique products or through an OEM licensing model, will capture the opportunity for major advances in the lighting industry where low cost, energy efficient lighting solutions will be in high demand for the foreseeable future," concluded Schmidt. The Company acquired the worldwide exclusive rights to patent 5,966,393 "Hybrid Light-Emitting Sources for Efficient and Cost Effective White Lighting and for Full-Color Applications" from the University of California The University of California has a combined student body of more than 191,000 students, over 1,340,000 living alumni, and a combined systemwide and campus endowment of just over $7.3 billion (8th largest in the United States). - Santa Barbara Santa Barbara (săn'tə bär`brə, –bərə), city (1990 pop. 85,571), seat of Santa Barbara co., S Calif., on the Pacific Ocean; inc. 1850. through a restricted stock transaction between Cyberlux Corporation, UTEK and the University, which include capital for the acceleration of the technology commercialization. The technology patent defines the method and practice for creating a white or multi-colored lighting source by combining the photoluminescence of polymers and/or organic films with photon emissions from a solid-state inorganic light source. The principle inventors include Nobel Laureate Noun 1. Nobel Laureate - winner of a Nobel prize Nobelist laureate - someone honored for great achievements; figuratively someone crowned with a laurel wreath Dr. Alan Heeger and Dr. Steven DenBaars, Professor of Materials and Co-Director of the Solid-State Lighting Center at the University of California-Santa Barbara, who will advise the Company on the hybrid organic/inorganic lighting technology commercialization. Earlier in November 2006, Cyberlux acquired the worldwide exclusive rights to the pending patents for the Scattered Photon Extraction(TM) technology and methods developed at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The SPE technology enables light-emitting sources to operate at a higher luminous efficacy Luminous efficacy There are three ways this term can be used: (1) The luminous efficacy of a source of light is the quotient of the total luminous flux emitted divided by the total lamp power input. Light is visually evaluated radiant energy. where traditional phosphor, or downconversion materials such as photoluminescence polymers and/or organic films as defined by patent 5,966,393, are placed at locations remote from the photon-emitting solid-state inorganic light source. Specifically, the use of the SPE methods result in a greater than 60 % improvement in light output and efficacy compared to standard commercial white LEDs. About Cyberlux Corporation Cyberlux Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: CYBL) has created breakthrough LED lighting technology that provides the most energy efficient and cost effective lighting solutions available today for consumer, commercial and military uses. The Aeon products bring the newly developed, virtually heatless light into the home for use in closets, cabinet interiors and under cabinet lighting for kitchen counters. The Military and Homeland Security products deliver unique, covert, and advanced visible lighting capability for threat detection, force and asset protection. Cyberlux uses solid-state semiconductors, trademarked as its diodal(TM)lighting elements, which consume 75% less energy than incandescent lighting elements and perform for over 20 years in contrast to 750 hours for conventional bulbs.
