The Evolution of Solid State Lighting
as documented by "St. Roland" Roland's work not just paralleled the history of Solid-State Lighting, but provided the necessary catalysis at critical points of its development. The following papers and presentations reveal the stages of the evolution of SSL, and in the process, also reveals the extraordinary intellect and pioneering insights of Roland Haitz. |
