The Solid-State Lighting and Energy Electronics Center (SSLEEC) was launched in late 2013 to advance new semiconductor-based energy efficient lighting technologies through partnerships with key industry leaders. The SSLEEC provides a forum for industry members and UCSB researchers to collaborate across several disciplines—materials science, electrical engineering, chemistry, and physics to address the most challenging problems in solid state lighting.
Under the leadership of Professors Steven DenBaars, Shuji Nakamura, Umesh Mishra, and James Speck, SSLEEC has established one of the most unique and successful business models among universities and industry partners. Over the past 6 years, this group of researchers produced a key patent portfolio of 154 patents that make up 25% of the total patent pool at UCSB.
The role of the SSLEEC’s industry partners is to provide unrestricted support for the Center’s research in advancing new semiconductor-based energy efficient lighting and display technologies, participate in an annual conference hosted by the Center, evaluate patents that are developed during the period in which the industry partner maintains current status as a qualified sponsor, and to designate one sponsor employee who shall serve as a member of the SSLEEC Advisory Board.
