Color Kinetics Awarded Patent Relating to Intelligent Solid-State String Lights


August 25, 2004... BOSTON, Mass. USA -- Color Kinetics Incorporated (Nasdaq: CLRK), a pioneer in the design, marketing and licensing of intelligent solid-state lighting systems and technologies, today announced the issuance of a US patent Relating to a miniaturized, integrated, intelligent solid-state string light, respective individual LED nodes in a string configuration have the capability to be independently controlled.

Issued on August 17, 2004, US patent number 6,777,891 relates to part to technology that is implemented in Chromasic(TM), the companys proprietary integrated circuit that allows a reduction in the cost, size, weight, and complexity of systems One commercial, multi-purpose, intelligent solid-state string light comprised of individually controllable tri-color LED nodes. By refining control Down to the singular LED level, this technology enables complex and intricately designed effects that may span many thousands of nodes -- making previously unattainable or cost-prohibitive lighting designs possible.

This latest US patent covers groundbreaking technology that opens up completely new applications of intelligent solid-state lighting, including the generation of animated effects and video-driven light shows, said Dr. Ihor Lys, CTO of Color Kinetics and one of the patents named inventors The coverage of this invention brings exciting potential for further product development and OEM and licensing opportunities.

Products that leverage this proprietary technology are used in a wide variety of applications today, including the lighting of exterior facades, stage and television sets, hospitality venues, and exhibits and displays. For example, the technology powers Soft-LED(TM), a Light drapery for entertainment applications developed by Main Light Industries, a Color Kinetics OEM customer.

Color Kinetics now holds 32 issued patents and has more than 120 patent applications pending that range from core technology and products to high-level control systems, complete lighting systems, applications and methods of use.

HDI Pcb
Hdi Pcb Specification
High density interconnect (HDI) PCBs represent one of the fastest-growing segments of the printed circuit board market. Because of its higher circuitry density, the HDI PCB design is able to incorporate finer lines and spaces, smaller vias and capture pads, and higher connection pad densities. A high density PCB features blind and buried vias and often contains microvias that are .006 in diameter or even less.
Key HDI PCB Benefits
The evolution of high density PCB technology has given engineers greater design freedom and flexibility than ever before. Designers now have the ability to place more components on both sides of the raw PCB if desired. In essence, an HDI PCB gives designers more space to work with, while allowing them to place smaller components even closer together. This ultimately results in faster signal transmission along with enhanced signal quality.


HDI PCB is widely used to reduce the weight and overall dimensions of products, as well as enhancing the electrical performance of the device. It's regularly found in mobile phones, touch-screen devices, laptop computers, digital cameras, 4G network communications, also prominently featured in medical devices as well as various electronic aircraft parts and components.
