Nichia moves to stop sale of Cree LEDs in
Japan

Sumitomo Corp. (Osaka, Japan) has been named in a
lawsuit brought by Nichia Corp. (Anan, Japan) related to
blue-light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The suit, filed in Tokyo
District Court, alleges infringement of a patent issued to
Nichia in Japan and seeks an injunction to stop Sumitomo
from selling Cree Research (Durham, NC)
standard-brightness blue LED product in Japan. The suit is
not slowing down business for Cree, however, which
recently announced $22 million in new LED orders, primarily
from Taiwanese customers.?John Wallace


One general question for the thread....does Nichia have a commercial blue laser on the market as of yet?
