As of September 2003, Durel Corporation was acquired by Rogers Corporation. It manufactures electroluminescent lighting systems utilizing proprietary micro-encapsulated phosphor technology. The company’s products are used in both commercial and automotive applications. Durel was formed in 1988 and is based in Chandler, Arizona.
DUREL was formed as a joint venture of 3M and Rogers Corporation, and pioneered Electroluminescent (EL) Lighting as a viable consumer product. In 2003, DUREL became a wholly owned subsidiary of Rogers Corporation. In 2011, Rogers decided to cease its lamp manufacturing operations, and DUREL was reorganized to focus on their highly successful line of industry leading IC inverters for driving EL lamps and EL wire.
What We Make
We developed our first DUREL high voltage electroluminescent (EL) IC driver in 1993, in response to our customers need to have one company provide the entire EL lighting solution—both the lamp and the power supply. Since then, Rogers has developed an extensive line of these high performance devices. Using our proprietary circuit design, we achieve low-noise performance for applications that are sensitive to electrical and audible noise.
Quality is a Rogers hallmark. All DUREL IC drivers are RoHS and WEEE compliant.
