UV-LED pulls out high gross profit "Xintiandi"

The vocabulary of weak market demand, homogenization of products in the LED industry, and fierce price competition has repeatedly been seen in the annual reports or performance reports of major LED listed companies.

Low gross profit and low price have become the primary dilemma for LED companies to survive and develop.

According to the statistics of the High-tech Research Institute LED Research Institute (GGII), the price reduction of domestic LED packaged devices reached 30%-50% in 2015, and the price drop of most chip companies in the LED chip industry also reached 20%.

Finding high-margin segmentation market has become the only way for LED companies. Ultraviolet LEDs have thus leapt into the eyes of many LED companies, and they have been laid out.

Including Seoul Semiconductor, Crystal Power, RayVio, Nikkiso and domestic Hongli Optoelectronics, Qingdao Jiesheng and other companies have already begun to show their edge in the field of UV LED.

UV LED generally refers to invisible light with a single wavelength below 400 nm, also known as ultraviolet LED. It has the advantages of good directional performance, low voltage, environmental protection, wavelength measurement, long life, light and flexible, fast switching, shock and moisture resistance.

Depending on the wavelength of the luminescence, the field of UV LED applications varies. UV-A field (315~400nm) is mainly used in industrial curing equipment, money detectors, etc.; UV-B field (280~315nm) is mainly used in therapeutic/analytical instruments, vitamin D synthesis, etc. in medical/biological fields. The UV-C field (280~200nm) is mainly used in environmental fields such as sterilization/purification/clean water.

With the continuous breakthrough of key technologies of deep ultraviolet LED (light emission wavelength shorter than 300nm), UV light source is applied to many fields such as daily life, production research, homeland security, biomedical, biological detection, all-weather non-line-of-sight confidential communication.

Relevant data predict that the market annual growth rate of UV LEDs in the past few years averaged 28.5%, and the market scale is expanding.

Xie Mingxun, deputy general manager of Jingyuan Optoelectronics R&D Center, said that the high demand for lighting in the lighting application market is actually an illusion. The truth is that the price war has caused sharp decline in recent years. In order to seek better profits, Jingdian also bets more resources on the market applications of IR LEDs and UV LEDs. Xie Mingxun said: "On average, the price of IR LEDs is 10 times that of LEDs for lighting." In addition, another spokesperson for Jingdian said that the company predicts that UV LED and IR LED revenue will be in 2016. Doubled growth.

Xie Mingxun is optimistic about the UVALED and UVBLED market outlook, but he does not believe that UV LED lamps can replace the water purification function of mercury lamps.

Xie Mingxun said that the development of UVCLED has to overcome many challenges, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough in the short term, mainly due to the fact that most products have a very low 3% of WPE, which is inconsistent with 30% of mercury lamps. Cooling will also be a big challenge for LEDs in water purification.

Similarly, Xie Mingxun is also optimistic about the development of UV LED applications in photocuring devices such as nail art and 3D printing. He predicts that the potential for the exposure market in the semiconductor industry is huge because LEDs can save a lot of electricity.

In the past, the mercury lamp used in the exposure machine was turned on for 3 minutes and required to operate 24 hours. However, if the LED lamp was used, it could be flexibly set, turned off and on during a specific period, and the LED light only took a few seconds to light up.

Recently, South Carolina, USA specializes in 230-355nm wavelength DUV (deep ultraviolet) LED components and module manufacturer Sensor Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. (SETi) sells deep ultraviolet (DUV LEDs) lamps to the Chinese market, allowing customers to successfully extend The shelf life of fresh products.

David Xu, marketing director of SETi, said: “Previously, China’s huge domestic demand market and international fruit and vegetable market could only withstand inefficient storage methods and preservation methods, and SETi looked at this business opportunity and strived to provide services to Chinese customers.”

“Most of the current fruit and vegetable preservation practices in China use chemical agents or pesticides. In fact, the use of deep ultraviolet (DUV) LED technology is safer for consumers. LED lamps consume about 2 currents. The tile is up to 3 watts and is completely harmless to the human body or the product. We have found considerable potential in the Chinese market and decided to fight for such an opportunity."

In China, since 2014, Hongli Optoelectronics announced the development and production of deep-UV LED packaging products. In the same year, it launched the full-UV (UVA/B/C) LED packaging products. By 2015, Hongli Optoelectronics' UVA, UVC package products enter the mass production stage.

Guoxing Optoelectronics, which is increasingly focusing on product diversification, is also enriching its UV LED device product line. After the company launched UV LED devices at the end of 2014, in 2015, in order to meet the requirements of different wavelengths and sizes of UV applications, 2015 was heavy. Launched COB 1215, 3535, 6363 series products.

At the recent Western Photonics Show in the United States, UV-LED has also become a bright spot. Lite-On has exhibited its own UV LED products; Nikkiso has introduced a variety of UV-A light-curing modules with a central illuminance of 45mW/ From cm2 to 80mW/cm2, air-cooled and water-cooled cooling systems are available, which can be applied to small and large curing equipment. In addition, the UV-C water purification module is available in two versions: low water flow rate water purification module 2L/min Low Flow Rate and high water flow rate water purification module 10L/min Middle Flow Rate, E. coli reduction rate (Reduction Rate E coli ) up to 99.9%.
