It follows a £1.1 m investment round last January in which Siemens AG was also an investor. 

Livingston-based DLP has developed and patented technology to embed light emitting diodes (LEDs) within consumer electrical goods, technology used to create thin, flexible, high efficiency light panels and displays for products including small electronic devices, large area LED lighting and LCD televisions. 



January's investment funded application development and commercialise existing product lines. DLP is now looking to enter the high growth lighting and LCD TV backlighting market with a view to displacing traditional and emerging LED technologies.

Braveheart CEO, Geoffrey Thomson (right) said: "DLP has made good progress since the first close of theinvestment in January 2011 and we are delighted to see new shareholders supporting the company."



Siemens investment vehicle, Technology-to-Business Center (TTB), joined the January investment round for DLP, seeing market potential for its technology through its subsidiary OSRAM - a leading global lighting and LED supplier.
