About Kubos Semiconductors Ltd
Kubos Semiconductors formed in 2017 to develop and commercialise its proprietary cubic-GaN material technology to improve the user experience for lighting, displays and communications across the visible spectrum. Once mature, Kubos plans to license the technology to major LED manufacturers. The LED stacks built on our technology can be easily integrated into pre-existing commercial LED production lines providing a cost- effective solution for increased efficiency devices operating in the visible spectrum.
