UV LED breaks out in silence

Breakthroughs in UV LEDs have accelerated the pace of replacing conventional lamps used in research and industry, and UV LEDs have been able to take full advantage of their performance in different spectra. UV-A lamps (wavelengths 315-400 nm) are commonly used for curing applications, while UV-B and UV-C LEDs (280-315 nm and 100-280 nm, respectively) have the potential for medical applications and purification/disinfection. These advances are attributed to the development of materials research and development and improvement of manufacturing processes. The following introduces the latest UV LED device applications and recent results.

UV LEDs slowly warm up in the quiet corner of the LED market

Compared to visible light LEDs, UV LED is a quiet market, only about 30 million US dollars, but recently, with the breakthrough of radiation power, strength has been applied to replace mercury vapor lamps used in UV drying and counterfeiting detection.
