Coasia Semiconductor and Germany's Inova Semiconductors GmbH announced on the 17th that they have signed a licensing agreement for the manufacturing of ISELED (Integrated Smart Embedded LED) wafers, a key component of advanced automotive interior lighting.
ISELED is a technology applied to vehicle interior lighting systems. It precisely controls the three primary colors (RGB) within LED modules to achieve uniform color reproduction. While primarily adopted by European automakers, its adoption is expanding to major Asian automakers, including those in Korea and China.
With this agreement, Innova plans to secure a stable ISELED supply chain for the global automotive market, expand its foundry supply chain through Coasia Semi, and strengthen its ability to respond to customers in the Asian region. Coasia Semi will secure the independence to produce LED controller products based on the license, and, in conjunction with its parent company, Coasia's LED division, Itswell, will establish a vertically integrated system encompassing wafer, packaging, and LED module supply.
Additionally, Coasia Semiconductor plans to expand its ISELED technology into next-generation automotive semiconductor fields such as smart lighting, microLED, and interior integrated displays.
“Sharing ISELED technology is a key step toward industry standardization,” said Robert Eisley, President of Inova. “This collaboration will strengthen our robust supply chain for our global customers.”
“This license agreement is a case in point, demonstrating synergy across the ISELED value chain through vertical integration within the group,” said Shin Dong-soo, CEO of Koasia Semiconductor. “We will continue to enhance our competitiveness in the domestic automotive semiconductor industry and expand our portfolio.”
