A fuller technical writeup reports the first mass-produced chip (25µm x 10µm) outputs 0.015lm of white light at close to 100lm/W efficacy, with a target of 200lm/W within two years, and that full-scale production starts in Q4 2026 with priority given to customers who respected Seoul Viosys's IP.
“WICOP 3 generates white light from gallium nitride (GaN) alone.”

I like these order of magnitude changes in common technology -- in this case, way smaller minimum size and more efficient per square nanometer -- the use cases language is a good reminder that the innovation part ("Look! This is cool!") often (usually?) precedes the most compelling use cases.I…
