Seoul, South Korea, feb 26, 2018 / -- LG Innotek has gained a foothold in Japan thanks to ultraviolet rays (UV) leds, which are designed for water purifiers that are completely waterproof. The germicidal function and quality of the product are recognized in the birthplace of LED, which accelerates the expansion of the global market.

Last year, LG Innotek supplied the famous Japanese water purifier company with special UV LED components for water purifier. In the Japanese market, where the quality standards are very strict, more than 50,000 components are supplied, and there has never been an adverse product event. Excellent product performance and quality are verified.

UV LED is a kind of advanced semiconductor light source, which can emit ultraviolet rays of 200~400 nanometer (nm). Through elimination of bacteria and viruses, chemical reactions with special substances, applied to surface, water and air disinfection, health management, medical, biological, hardening and exposure equipment, etc.

LG Innotek's waterproof UV LED component, submerged in water in the water purifier storage tank, emits ultraviolet light, which can directly kill 99.9% of all kinds of bacteria and viruses. As a waterproof product specially designed for water purifier, the installation position of this product is at the inner bottom or side of the water storage tank.

This product has IPX8 grade waterproof performance, which is the highest grade of international waterproof standard. It can operate safely for a long time in water up to 1.5 meters deep.

In addition, LG Innotek UV LED components do not contain chemicals or heavy metals, and are only sterilized by ultraviolet light, so they are harmless to human body. Different from the traditional mercury UV lamp, this product is not broken and safer to use.

At the same time, this product can quickly and accurately control the sterilization of ultraviolet rays, so it is more convenient to use. Mercury UV lamps require about 2 minutes of preheating, while LG Innotek's UV LED component is a cutting-edge semiconductor light source that does not require preheating.

In November, LG Innotek LED the industry for two years, pioneering the development of 100mW uv-c LED, and the world's leading UV LED technology was validated. This product is a strong UV LED, can be on the surface of objects, water and air sterilization.

In addition, in April last year, LG Innotek mass produced "special UV LED components for sterilization of water purifier plunger". This product is installed in LG electronics straight water purifier "PuriCare SlimUpdown", which has been well received.
