Cyberlux Corporation Completes First Hybrid
Lighting Technology Prototype Demonstration
Company Demonstrates Exclusive Hybrid Organic/Inorganic Lighting
Technology and Achieves ?Proof of Principle? Milestone
RESEARCH TRIANGLE, N.C. (May 23, 2007) - Cyberlux Corporation (OTC Bulletin
Board: CYBL), a developer and manufacturer of solid-state lighting solutions, announced
today that the Company has produced the first prototype of its Hybrid Lighting
Technology (HTL) and demonstrated the initial capabilities in a laboratory environment.
The prototype lighting device combined the Scattered Photon ExtractionTM (SPE)
technology acquired from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with the hybrid organic /
inorganic white and multi-color lighting technology acquired from the University of
California-Santa Barbara to achieve the Company?s ?Proof of Principle? milestone. This
one-of-a-kind lighting technology is exclusively licensed and proprietarily owned by
Cyberlux Corporation.
The prototype lighting device was constructed from an SPE-optimized reflective fixture
encapsulating a 465nm solid-state photon pump emitter that excited the downconversion
lens to produce visible light in a range of color temperatures. The HTL lighting device
was tested with two downconversion lens types, including a luminescent polymer lens
and two hybrid inorganic/organic lenses for performance comparison and prototype
optimization purposes. As the HTL technology progresses through the next series of
commercialization milestones, the Company will publish results that are anticipated to
exceed existing lighting fixture efficiencies. Cyberlux will commercialize the resulting
proprietary lighting technology as ?Hybrid White Light? (HWL) and ?Hybrid Multi-color
Light? (HML).
?Achieving the Proof of Principle milestone for the HTL technology is an important step
in our commercialization plans. These early results are ahead of schedule and are quite
exciting for the Cyberlux team,? said Mark D. Schmidt, president and chief operating
officer of Cyberlux. ?Our objective is to commercialize this innovative, proprietary
lighting technology through both an OEM licensing model and in the production of our
own unique products, where low cost, energy efficient lighting solutions will address
global energy conservation needs," concluded Schmidt.
In November 2006, Cyberlux acquired the worldwide exclusive rights to the pending
patents for the Scattered Photon ExtractionTM technology and methods developed at
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The SPE technology enables light-emitting sources to
operate at a higher luminous efficacy where traditional phosphor or downconversion
materials such as luminescence polymers and/or organic films as defined by University of
California - Santa Barbara patent 5,966,393 are placed at locations remote from the
photon-emitting solid-state inorganic light source.
In January 2007, the Company acquired the worldwide exclusive rights to patent
5,966,393 ?Hybrid Light-Emitting Sources for Efficient and Cost Effective White
Lighting and for Full-Color Applications? from the University of California - Santa
Barbara. The technology patent defines the method and practice for creating a white or
multi-colored lighting source by combining the photoluminescence of polymers and/or
organic films with photon emissions from a solid-state inorganic light source. The
principle inventors include Nobel Laureate Dr. Alan Heeger and Dr. Steven DenBaars,
Professor of Materials and Co-Director of the Solid-State Lighting Center at the
University of California-Santa Barbara, who will advise the Company on the hybrid
organic/inorganic lighting technology commercialization.
