Welcome

Charles W. Wessner

National Research Council

Dr. Wessner welcomed symposium participants to the National Academies. He described the Academies as an organization that is led and driven by its distinguished members. He thanked panel members for their participation.

He said that the focus of the day was on the “potentially game-changing technology” of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). One objective of the symposium was to define the advantages of this technology for the lighting industry and for the nation and to clarify the challenges faced by the industry in bringing that technology to the lighting market. He then introduced Dr. Bill Spencer, chair of the symposium.

As part of its analysis of public-private partnerships, the Academies convened leading academic researchers, government officials and policy makers, and representatives from large and small firms to explore the potential contributions, technical challenges, and opportunities for government-industry-university collaboration in the area of solid-state lighting. The workshop report devotes special attention to the potential for substantial social benefits—relating to the environment, energy consumption, and national security—that could arise with the widespread use of solid-state lighting technology. The workshop also focused on the technical and competitive hurdles currently faced in bringing solid-state lighting to market and the potential contributions of a well-conceived national consortium for solid-state lighting research.
