OSRAM Opto Semiconductors is the pioneer of Thinfilm technology for InGaAlP (Indium Gallium Aluminium Phosphide), InGaN (Indium Gallium Nitride) and GaAs (Gallium Arsenide) and for high-performance LEDs in the visible and infrared spectrum. We are especially proud that our whole team is continuously awarded – an honor that is evidence for our innovation strength.

We have also made pioneering achievements in other fields. OSRAM Opto Semiconductors is a leader in manufacturing technology, backend volume production and has a wide portfolio of package (LED-casing) types. Our OSTAR range of products has made us a leader in compact, high-performance light sources for visible and invisible light
