Crystal Systems is a crystalline growth technology company that manufactures high-quality, large area sapphiresubstrates used in the LED, defense, medical and aerospace industries.
Rubicon Technology shares are trading sharply lower in late trading Wednesday after the provider of sapphiresubstrates used by LED and chip makers reported disappointing fourth quarter results - and provided even more alarming guidance for the first quarter.
Samsung says this scaled-up approach will allow them to lower production costs relative to most LED manufacturers, which rely on sapphire, rather than glass substrates.
