History

PhosphorTech Corporation was formed in 1998 with the support of the Advanced Technology Development Center at the Georgia Institute of Technology. The purpose of PhosphorTech is to develop and manufacture new photonic materials and phosphor technologies for energy-efficient applications (“Green Technologies”) ranging from solid state lighting to emissive displays.

Since inception, the company has received several Phase I/Phase II SBIR grants from various government agencies to aid in funding the development of a wide range of phosphors (both bulk and nanocrystals or quantum dots) and related device technologies. PhosphorTech has successfully commercialized many SBIR-funded technologies and has applied resulting products to address the needs of many of its industrial and government clients.

PhosphorTech’s corporate objectives are to:

1. Continue to manufacture and license advanced phosphor materials and related technologies
2. Expand distribution channels and manufacturing facilities
3. Constantly engage in research & development activities in order to maintain competitiveness and improve current technologies.

PhosphorTech’s core competencies are:

1. Intellectual properties (through various existing patents and on-going patent applications)
2. World-recognized expertise in phosphor material preparation and technologies
3. Developing strategic alliances with major manufacturers of lighting and display products

PhosphorTech's current capabilities include a wide range of equipment for the production, coating, and testing of optical materials and devices. The company is continuously seeking to apply its resource base to the manufacturing of novel photonic materials, single and multilayered optical structures, nanocrystals and related material technologies to advanced energy, display and lighting concepts. The founders and employees of PhosphorTech have a wide range of experience in the evaluation, development, screening, synthesis, manufacturing, and coating of phosphors and various photonic and nano technologies.  PhosphorTech is therefore founded from a basis of programs in applied research coupled with many new technical innovations and extensive industrial partnerships. This experience and accumulated knowledge makes us well aware of customer problems and able to provide high-quality solutions in a cost-effective manner.
