1906, who would have thought that one day osram would have 48 factories in 17 countries and regions around the world, with more than 4 1000 employees and sales of 4.7 billion euros (in 2007)? A hundred years ago, who would have thought that electronic light sources-not only LEDs, but also other optical semiconductor products-would occupy such an important position in the lighting market?
To know everything that has happened since 1906, please see the history of osram.
Osram's brand name was born in 1906 and registered by Gesglü hlicht-Anstalt (also known as Auer-Gesellschaft) in Germany. This world-famous brand was named after two materials needed to make filament at that time-osmium and tungsten. 13 years later (1 965438+July 20091), it became a part of the company name: osramwerkegmbhkommanditgesell-schaft. At that time, Orr-Gasft, AEG and Siemens &; HalskeAG integrated their light source production department and established this company; Since 1978, Siemens has become the sole shareholder.
19 19, the world-famous trademark picture of osram came out for the first time, and the icon was a light bulb. Nowadays, this fashionable light bulb in the trademark picture is not only a symbol of light source, but also represents our concept and enthusiasm for intelligent light source.
Nowadays, light is more than just illumination. For example, a hundred years ago, who would have thought:
-Can light help us fight diseases?
Pure drinking water is one of our most precious daily necessities. Using OSRAM's PuritecUV system, water can be disinfected without chemicals.
-Intelligent light sources can be used in cars to improve driving safety?
Early cars had no more than two light sources, but now a modern car has about 250 light sources. Infrared technology is used to control rainfall sensors, navigation systems and night vision AIDS.
-A light source can save 80% energy?
1985, OSRAM first realized the integration of light source and electronic ballast (ECG). Today, the long-life energy-saving lamps of Osram DuluxEL have occupied the market for more than 10 years. Compared with ordinary light bulbs, the energy consumed by this light source can be reduced by 80%.
Osram has been committed to research and development of efficient, energy-saving and sustainable green lighting. Rare earth energy-saving lamps have formed a stable production technology and scale, and photoelectric semiconductors and LEDs are also in the forefront of the same industry in the world.
