Foreword:

This is the first international conference on white LED lighting technologies in Japan. Japan is active both commercially and academically in the development of white LEDs for lighting and illumination. However, SSL lacks the important scientific background of lighting source technologies because white LEDs have been created by semiconductor devices and luminescent materials. This conference will give not only some exchange ideas and views on technical problems and advices in white LED lighting system and design, but also intimate academic exchange among conference participants.

Scope and Topics:

The conference (White LEDs-07) will cover all aspects of fundamental and applied research on white LEDs and SSL. The aims of the conference is to provide a forum to discuss in a stimulating and informed atmosphere those subjects which are of common interest for scientists, engineers and designers working on white LEDs and SSL, and related areas. The conference will arrange both oral and poster sessions.

Proceedings:

The proceedings of white LEDs-07 will be published as a special issue of The Illuminating Engineering Institute of Japan and will be distributed at the conference. The excellent papers are strongly recommended for the publication in its regular journal by program committee.
The deadline for submission of conference proceedings is due 3rd October, 2007. Details of instructions for preparation of the proceedings are given in our website.
