Philips Lighting rides analog-to-digital wave | Green Tech - CNET News: "The lighting industry is changing from analog to digital technologies, a move that could bring traditional semiconductor and IT suppliers into lighting, said Philips Lighting CEO Rudy Provoost.
'Over time, as the shift from analog to digital technology continues, we will indeed see companies in the ICT (information and communications technology) world probably get involved in digital lighting,' he said.
Potential new competitors would be Asian high-tech manufacturers or semiconductor makers, he said. 'The question is not if but how. That landscape is going to change.'
Philips is pushing hard into solid-state lighting, having spent about $4 billion acquiring LED (light-emitting diode) lighting companies over the past two years."
