With respect to our goal to have a diversified mix of revenues we are encouraged by the signs of some improvement we are now seeing in our electronics and LED businesses.”
The only further detail revealed on the orders was that the most recent ones included repeat orders for its diffusion system.
Shares in the company closed up more than 11.5% on Thursday.
