As the growth rate of the UV LED industry is slowing down, more and more new technologies related to LED or lighting have attracted the attention of the industry. Graphene, quantum dots, visible light communications... and UV LEDs. Baidu clicked "UV LED" and found 152,000 relevant results, which to a certain extent shows that it has received a certain amount of attention.
However, it is undeniable that this application form can involve technologies in many fields such as lighting, sterilization, medical treatment, printing, biochemical testing, high-density information storage, and confidential communication. At present, the impression given to most people in China is still limited. In the traditional lighting, medical and sterilization fields, and lack of industrial applications. However, these are just vague impressions, which are unfounded. But depending on the true development of a technology and how the company is deployed, patent analysis has the right to speak.
According to the wavelength division, ultraviolet light-emitting diodes are divided into UV-ALED (320-410nm wavelength), UV-BLED (275-320nm) and UV-CLED (200-275nm). UV-ALED is mainly used for drying and curing, UV-B is used for biosensing, and UV-C is used for sterilization and purification.
Due to its wide range of applications and huge market prospects, it has become a hot spot in the semiconductor lighting industry in recent years, and many lighting companies at home and abroad have entered this field.
