aixtron.com - 1998 Annual Report Aixtron supplies MOCVD equipment to Siemens / Osram; see page 14. A pilot project for LED traffic lights was begun last month in Aachen, the company's hometown. For this application, they call the trend "unstoppable". Initial cost may be higher, but LEDs have the advantage in terms of energy consumption, maintenance costs, and safety. aixtron.com Page 3 of the Annual Report has a pie chart of Aixtron's Revenues by Applications: · 46% LED · 23% Consumer/Optoelectronics · 23% Telecom/Datacom · 8% Solar The unit growth rate for LEDs produced by MOCVD is put at 100% per annum through 2001 (page 16). The estimate is from Strategies Unlimited, whoever they are. AXTI, I don't have a quick answer for. WT
