Osram Opto Semiconductors GmbH

When Siemens split off the semiconductor operations to form a separate legal entity, Osram had an opportunity to take over the LED division.

At its headquarters in Regensburg, Germany, further production sites in Penang and Kulim (Malaysia), and Wuxi (China), and a global network of sales and marketing centers, the company employs more than 6,000 people.

In the fiscal year 2010, the optoelectronic semiconductor business activity accounts for twenty percent of overall Osram GmbH sales.

The OSTAR platform, Osram's most powerful LED solution so far, includes high-power LEDs for numerous applications including lighting; projection; rear projection television (RPTV), and as IR light sources for the security sector.

Multicolor LEDs such as MultiLED cover the entire color triangle and are used in large-format displays at rock concerts, sports stadiums and trade fairs.
