A timeline for the expansion was not available at the time of writing. Since Cotco is an LED packager and does not fabricate chips, the assumption is that Crees LED chip production will continue to be located in North Carolina, USA.
Speaking at the 4th China International Forum & Exhibition on Solid State Lighting in Shanghai, Chris James, VP of marketing and business development, characterized the planned expansion as part of Cree's multi-faceted efforts to both accelerate the adoption of LED lighting in China and to Build momentum for the LED lighting revolution worldwide.
China is a critical growth market for LEDs in general illumination applications and represents an unmatched opportunity, said James. This is due to the early-stage development [in China] of a national lighting infrastructure, explosive economic growth, the need for energy-efficient Technologies and a growing concern over air and ground pollution.
The acquisition of Cotco Luminant Device Limited was the first step and gave Cree significant local manufacturing and sales capability in China. This expansion of white LED capacity is the next step, and we continue to develop plans to extend our capabilities and drive the LED lighting market .

HIFU Piezoelectric Ceramic Parts
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology is to focus ultrasound on a single point to produce high energy, function on the dermis and SMAS layer of skin, stimulate the proliferation and recombination of collagen, effectively achieve the effect of compact contour and smoothing lines.
Focused ultrasound does not heat the skin surface, nor does it need to pass through the skin as a medium for the transmission of laser energy, so it does not affect the tissue on the skin surface and the tissue through which the laser passes, of course, there will be no excessive heat residue on the skin surface. In this way, the epidermis will not be affected by heat, which can reduce the Eastern people's thermal reaction easily, and greatly reduce the chance of scald. Focused ultrasoundtherapy produces thermal coagulation points in the SMAS layer, and the thermal effect diffuses outward from the coagulation points, so the heat source is concentrated in the SMAS layer to be treated. It can produce more collagen denaturation.
