    O2Micro to show expanding portfolio of lighting solutions at Lighting Japan 2014

    01/08/2014

    O2Micro International announced its participation in Lighting Japan
    2014, January 15 -- 17. Lighting Japan 2014, a composition of three
    shows -- the LED/OLED Lighting Technology Expo,
    LED/OLED Light Expo, and Design Lighting
    Tokyo 2014 -- will be held at the Tokyo Big Sight, Tokyo, Japan.
    O2Micro will demonstrate its LED General Lighting products in the
    LED/OLED Light Expo section of the show room floor, booth number East
    46-16.

    "We are excited about this Expo and opportunity to exhibit our General
    Lighting products publically," said Dr. Yung Lin, executive vice
    president, O2Micro. "O2Micro will showcase commercially available LED
    bulbs that embed O2Micro's LED Driver controllers and patented Free
    Dimming(TM) technology to enable advanced dimming functionality using a
    standard on/off switch."

    O2Micro's Free Dimming technology offers many benefits to LED lighting
    manufacturers and consumers. It works with any non-dimming on/off
    switch and the billions of sockets that do not have dimmers. By
    eliminating dimmer cost and installation, it is a great value and easy
    to use. It does not have any flicker or audible hum, making it
    appealing compared to problematic TRIAC dimming solutions.

    For OEMs, Free Dimming technology is also less expensive and has higher
    efficiency than traditional TRIAC dimmable LED drivers. It supports
    universal 85V to 265V operation, enabling one SKU to serve the global
    marketplace. It supports a wide range of retrofit bulb form factors and
    power levels, and has the lowest BOM cost and smallest footprint.

    O2Micro offers a rapidly expanding portfolio of LED Driver controllers
    for applications ranging from low power candle bulbs to high power
    street lights. The company offers solutions that support a wide range
    of topologies for both isolated and non-isolated applications. With
    non-dimming, traditional TRIAC dimming and O2Micro's patented Free
    Dimming controllers, O2Micro has a solution for any general lighting
    application.
