NTU Singapore and LightLab Sweden AB launch joint research in low-energy lighting

LightLab Sweden AB, a Swedish firm specialising in low-energy lighting listed on
the OMX stock exchange, and Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore)
will be collaborating to develop the next generation low-cost, energy-efficient
lighting technology.

Under the new partnership, the joint research programme will be hosted by NTU's
LUMINOUS! Centre of Excellence for Semiconductor Lighting and Displays. The NTU
research centre, which specialises in energy efficiency and quality lighting and
displays, will provide the expertise and facilities to develop the next
generation lighting technology.

Leveraging NTU’s strengths in lighting technology, the partnership is also
expected to unleash the full potential of EEE Light®, a unique lighting
technology based on field emission developed by LightLab. LightLab are looking
to bolstering it with new materials and light extraction technologies through
the research partnership.

A young and research-intensive university, NTU is ranked 39th in the world and
No. 1 in Quacquarelli Symonds' Top 50 Under 50 ranking for universities under 50
years old. This collaboration with NTU will provide a unique platform for
LightLab’s integrated lighting technology by allowing the company access to the
University's world-class research facilities. It will also allow the company to
explore and evaluate new cost-effective architectures and structures for general
lighting and industrial solutions.

Nanyang Associate Professor Hilmi Volkan Demir, Director of LUMINOUS! said,
"This joint research programme will build on NTU’s strengths in engineering and
science, and our proven track record of industry collaboration and innovation.
Through NTU’s LUMINOUS!, a centre of excellence under our newly launched
Photonics Institute, we look forward to working with LightLab to develop novel
cost-effective lighting technologies for the future.”

Nanyang Associate Professor Demir will lead the joint research programme
together with Ph.D. Jonas Tirén, Vice President of R&D at LightLab.

The board of directors’ goal is to strengthen LightLab’s position as a leading
technology company within the lighting industry. LightLab aims to achieve this
through strategic business development and by working with leading players in
the global lighting market.

Jan Rynning, Chairman of the board at LightLab said, “The cooperation with NTU
is an important step in this direction and it is also a strong confirmation of
the potential in LightLab’s technology.”
