Lumitex, Inc. has opened its West Coast R&D Center in Irvine, California, and Asian manufacturing center in Taipei, Taiwan, to help develop, apply and produce illumination solutions using patented LED and fiber optic technologies for electronics applications on the West Coast and in Asia.
“Lumitex West, formerly Poly-Optical Products, provides strategically-located design of engineered lighting solutions with volume manufacturing from Lumitex Asia’s new production facility in Taipei,” according to Scott Diestel, Western Regional Manager for Lumitex. “This design and production capacity rounds out our domestic resources in Cleveland, Ohio.”
Diestel added that the West Coast center can provide backlighting designs using the full range of fiber optic technology, including UniGlo® and other innovative fiber optic panels to light computer keyboards and a variety of membrane switch applications that require tight space tolerances and minimal thicknesses. Using SMT LED light sources, Lumitex panels provide exceptional thinness (to 0.2 mm), uniform brightness and low power, with no heat or EMI, outstanding design flexibility, quick turn-around and low NRE, unit, assembly and maintenance costs.
