How to get out of the red sea? That's what they do

By the photoelectric Association (PIDA) sponsored by the 2015 Taipei photoelectric Exhibition on June 16-18 debut this year, "LED Lighting Exhibition" special set of UV/IR area, with the market trend, display manufacturers and visitors expressed are obtained.

Theme one: UV-A LED market to take off stage, the future focus on the development of new applications in the UV industry

The main exhibitions or major UV LED manufacturers including light hung, Guang Lei seminar, Taiwan, Lite billion light, semiconductor lighting, LG Innotek, Phoseon, ronda.

Light hung specializing in UV LED, IR LED with special wavelength LED chip products, display UV-A band vertical LED, flip chip LED and LED level of technical ability in meeting. Light UV LED chip with good fortune and power with competitive price, as its biggest advantage. And contains the vertical structure (Vertical-Chip, LED) (Flip, chip) crystal and vertical (BH); the vertical and vertical structure is similar, the difference lies in the type of vertical electrodes on the same side, so as to strengthen its lineup in the string and ease of process. Package and application of current for the consideration of different light, Hong also quite complete development in the vertical dimension, the chip structure as an example, has been developed including 4545, 4242, 3636, 2020 and 1515 provide customer choice. Light win cooperation with customers to develop early cultivation technology, for the majority of Asian customer base, the main customers include commercial application Manicure machine, curing machine, exposure machine market.

Guang Lei as the main red light with IR LED manufacturers, the production of its own UV-A LED products, and launched in the city, applied to curing market applications. 2015-2016 product planning, 265nm UV-C LED efficiency is expected to be pushed out of the city, light output efficiency of 1mW.

In the venue to show UV-A LED Lite, used in commercial lighting, making the clothes more pure and bright.

Billion light main 365nm, 385nm, 405nm UV-A products, the use of ceramic substrate, silicone lens 3535 LED packaging products, the main curing machine market. 280nm UV-C 5050 LED package can reach 1mW @ 20mA.

Taiwan Longda wafer, encapsulation, module manufacturers, emphasize the one-stop vertical integration ability. UV-A LED products in the exhibition, the use of ceramic substrate and silicone lens package. In response to customer requirements, the introduction of Multi-Chip on Board (COB) products.

Taiwan semiconductor lighting combined with its own vertical chip products, the development of UV-A LED package. To specialize in, will business development (SemiLEDs) - SemiLEDs chip business; Taiwan semiconductor lighting (TSLC) - packaging business; Ning Xiang Technology (FrontAnD) - module business solutions; Lumen Niche-; UV LED for customized design, are tailored to customers.

As for the future development of optical products, Hong, Guang Lei, Taiwan semiconductor lighting for UV-C gradually the idea, looking forward to the next 1-2 years of operation and development.

LEDinside recently published the "2015 LED supply and demand market trends and Outlook" pointed out that in 2014 the UV LED value is $122 million, limited by the technology development, the application of UV-A is the largest, and curing is still the biggest demand. LEDinside for UV LED pointed out that the market price survey, 2015 385nm, 395nm increased due to the supplier, UV-A LED rapid price decline, but manufacturers are still optimistic that the development of the market, the market is taking off, moderate price trend is an inevitable trend, however, UV LED does not like lighting products, mainly from the UV LED product technical threshold high, including product collocation wavelength, irradiance and cooling system, plus the UV LED vendors must be as customized with the degree and optical simulation with the system design and development capabilities, thus creating a high margin of blue ocean market. Future look forward to a wider application.

Topic two: near infrared (Near Infrared Rate, NIR) market applications continue to expand, the next two years, including security monitoring applications and wearable devices Market Applications

1) security monitoring market applications

Light hung specializing in high power IR LED products, 42x42mil LED 850nm, to provide the 940nm wavelength, mainly used in security monitoring market. The same as the red and yellow light and IR LED well-known manufacturers, optitek also not to fall after the launch of IR high power LED chip used in security monitoring market, from development to product packaging optitek wafer, with security products need to adopt different lens angle mix, also can meet the demand of customer feedback.

2014 infrared LED security monitoring applications market size is expected to reach $94 million in 2015 is expected to reach $120 million. In the infrared LED security application specification development trend, the next 3535 LED package used in infrared LED will gradually replace the traditional LAMP packaging products. At present, the infrared LED is divided into traditional LAMP package type, SMD package type and high power LED package type. The use of high power LED, can reduce the number of the use of the circuit design and heat treatment is relatively simple, for the system manufacturers to design more convenient.

2) wearable device Market Applications

EPISTAR infrared brightness of the product with epitaxial wafer structure design technology and sophisticated annual growth, excellent performance and stable quality is always leading indicator of the market, maintaining a stable 10% -20% ahead of competitors. 2015 strong debut PN42D performance improved. Crystal electric launched with the concept of customer collaborative development, and customers work together to promote the new product market, in 2015, there is considerable progress in the application of wearable devices.

Lite group with resources in consumer electronics.
