LED industry will usher in "a riot of colour in the spring. (1) UV-CLED is expected to enter the outbreak from the 2017~2018 growth period, the global market value of the overall sterilization market reached $500 billion. (2) infrared LED application in security monitoring market size in 2017 will grow to $30 million ~4000 million.

目前业界发展LED光源主要集中于可见光部分，包括背光、照明等，然而受价格战影响，强调标准化规格的照明产品价格持续大幅下滑，导致LED产业面临严峻冲击。

Mainly in the visible part of the current development of LED light source industry, includes a backlight, lighting and so on. However, due to the impact of the price war, emphasize standard specification of lighting products prices continued to decline sharply, lead to LED industry facing the severe impact.

随着可见光LED已经成为红海市场，紫外光(UV LED)、红外线(IR LED)等不可见光的应用领域正陆续开展中，由于具有技术进入门槛，不少应用于工业或客制化产品，将可望免于低单价的价格竞争。

Not visible light has become the Red Sea market with visible light LED, UV LED), infrared (IR) led and other applications is carried out in succession, due to its technical barriers to entry, many applications in industrial or consumer products would be expected from unit price of low price competition.

紫外光LED跃升明日之星

UV LED jumped to the stars of tomorrow

UV-A LED率先起飞

LED UV-A take the lead off

紫外光LED是近2~3年来才开始扩大应用的技术，其中，UV-A波段约落在320~400nm，UV-B约在290~320nm，UV-C波段则是在240~290nm。

UV LED is only beginning to expand the application of the technology in the past UV-A years, which, 320~400nm band about fall in UV-B, 2~3 about 290~320nm, UV-C band is at 240~290nm.

With the largest range of UV-A and UV-C market potential, if the fabrication technology of LED components from the point of view, the short wave length is more difficult, compared to the large number of blue LED grain competition, crystallization of UVLED is difficult to make the, technical threshold is difficult to more than 10 times, especially short band of manufacturers of rarely, not through throwing money or poaching can be resolved.

除了晶粒制造不容易，封装技术也不好做，因为UVLED对于封装材料的破坏度比蓝光LED更大，尤其是短波对材料吸收越大，也容易破坏材料，故封装端也需要发展技术配合。

In addition to grain production is not easy, packaging technology is not good to do, because UVLED for packaging material damage degree than blue light LED greater, especially short of materials to absorb more, can easily damage the material, so end packaging also need to technology development.

先以UV-A LED产品来看，UV-A与现在LED照明较为类似，主要是为了取代现有的UV产品，包括省电、寿命长等特性是推动取代的成长动能，目前UV-A LED主要应用在工业产品，如印刷固化、取代曝光制程产品等。

First to UV-A LED products UV-A and now LED lighting is more similar, mainly in order to replace the existing UV products, including energy saving, long life and other characteristics is to promote the growth momentum in the substituted, the UV-A LED is mainly used in industrial products, such as printing curing, replace the exposure process products.

从UVLED的成本差异来看，由于工业产品在电源设计需要数千瓦~上万瓦的功率，且必须长时间使用，UV-ALED将可大幅降低耗能，且LED具有开关快速的特性，有助于省下电力消耗。

From the point of view of the cost difference of UVLED, due to industrial products in the power supply design needs a few kilowatts ~ million kilowatts of power, and must be used for a long time, UV-ALED will greatly reduce the energy consumption, and led with characteristics of rapid switch, help to save power consumption.

此外，传统UV灯管的温度高及产生臭氧问题，故工厂必须要另外安装空调系统以抽掉臭氧，因此当UV-ALED应用至固化或曝光制造时，不只是省下灯管的电力成本，还有整体环境及冷气等费用。

In addition, traditional UV lamp high temperature and ozone problem, so the factory must to also install air conditioning system by pulling off the ozone, so when UV-ALED applied to curing or exposure to create, not just Province under the lamp in the cost of electricity, as well as the overall environment and air conditioners and other expenses.

不过LED光源属于单波长、直向性的特性，而传统UV灯管则是多波长，这也提高了UV-A LED切入市场的门槛。当UV-A LED要取代灯管时，由于原本的印刷油墨是依照多波长去设计调配的，故单波长必须先进行混光，而光强、照射距离、均匀性等都需要做整体考虑，照射的准确性也要很高，发光角度要很小，仅约1~6度的平行光。

However, LED light source is a single wavelength, the characteristics of the straight, while the traditional UV lamp is multi wavelength, which also increased the threshold of LED UV-A market entry. When UV-A led to replace the lamp, because the original printing ink is in accordance with multi wavelength to design of the deployment of, so single wavelength must first mixed light and intensity, irradiation distance, uniform and need do the overall consideration, irradiation accuracy is very high, light-emitting angle is very small, only about 6 degrees of parallel light.

因此UV-A LED与LED照明设计是截然不同的，不仅考验封装厂的能力，同时UV-ALED也必须要做成一个系统产品，依照不同客户需求进行设计。

So LED LED and UV-A lighting design is very different, not only test the ability of the packaging plant, but also have to make a UV-ALED system products, according to different customer needs to design.

UV-C LED则比较偏向医疗洁净产业，如前所述，UV-C LED的困难度最高，只有少数日本或美国厂商具有相关技术，且都是原本专攻洁净领域的化工大厂。

UV-C LED is in favor of clean industry, such as before the, UV-C such difficulties is the highest, only a few Japanese or American manufacturers has related technologies and are originally specializing in clean areas, chemical manufacturers.

根据市场估计，全球整体杀菌市场产值达到5000亿美元，由于UV-C的原理是利用吸收波段将细菌的DNA链打断，使细菌不会再繁衍生殖达到杀菌功能。这原本是应用在工业废水处理，尽管UV-C LED的转换效率仍然很低，仅约1~2%，相较于灯管的10~20%，但UV灯管却无法做到手持式产品。

According to market estimates, the global market value of the global sterilization market reached $500 billion, due to the principle of UV-C is to use the absorption band to break the DNA chain of bacteria, so that bacteria will not reproduce to achieve bactericidal function. This was originally applied in industrial wastewater treatment, although the conversion efficiency of LED UV-C is still very low, only about 1~2%, compared to the tube of 10~20%, but UV can not do the handheld products.

因此UV-C LED并非是取代灯管的节能功能，而是大幅提高使用的方便性，并创造新的应用商机。未来UV-C LED可应用在医疗杀菌、医疗分析仪器、表面杀菌、手机、水龙头、冰箱等，重点不在于取代旧有产品，而是针对使用方便性进行设计开发。

So LED UV-C is not a substitute for the energy efficiency of the tube, but a substantial increase in the use of convenience, and to create new opportunities for application. LED UV-C in the future can be applied in medical sterilization, medical analysis instrument, surface sterilization, mobile phones, taps, refrigerators, etc., is not focused on replacing the old products, but for the convenience of the use of design and development.

近期相关市调机构预估，UVLED市场规模(晶粒加封装)将可望从2014年9000万美元扩大至2019年的6亿美元，其中，UV-A LED受到近年来价格下滑影响，成长速度较快，2014~2016年市场需求开始明显起飞，且应用面在于工业使用等级，价格波动性较低，UV-C LED预计将从2017~2018年进入爆发成长期。

Recent estimates of the relevant market research agency, and its market size (grain plus package) would be expected from $90 million in 2014 expanded to $6 billion in 2019. Among them, UV-A led by prices in recent years, the decline in influence, grow faster, 2016 the market demand began obvious takeoff, and Application in industrial grade, price volatility is low, UV-C LED is expected from 2017 - 2018 enter the outbreak period of growth.

红外线LED转向大功率发展

Infrared LED turn to high power development

安防、虹膜辨识市场成长看俏

Security, iris recognition market growth look pretty

红外线LED的技术应用已有发展一段时间，其波长大约落在700~1200nm，但近年来才开始转移到大功率红外线的应用，主要市场应用于安防或监控领域，近来Windows10开始支持虹膜辨识功能后，也带动相关应用发展。

After the development of infrared LED technology has been used for a period of time, the waves grow about falling in 700~1200nm. But in recent years it began to transfer to the application of high power infrared, major applications in the field of security or monitoring, recently a Windows 10 began to support the iris identification function, also contributed to the development of related applications.

At present the mainstream products in the security market mostly falls in the 850~940nm and infrared wavelength if the longer, on the human eye is invisible, so the shortwave infrared products were introduced into such as night vision surveillance, biological identification, to avoid causing distress to the human eye, due to different wavelength suitable product areas are also different, mainly to see the product designers how to use.

根据市场估计，2014年红外线LED应用于安全监控的市场规模9400万美元，2015年将可上看1200万美元，预计到了2017年将可增长至3000万~4000万美元，因此未来几年安防市场将是成长性很高的领域，只要搭上摄影机都需要夜视功能，近年来大陆市场发展尤其积极。

According to market estimates, the 2014 infrared LED application in the safety monitoring of the market size 94 million dollars, 2015 will see $12 million is expected to 2017 will grow to over $300 million to 4000 million dollars. Therefore, in the future the security market a few years will be very high field growth, as long as take the camera need night vision function, in recent years, market development especially active.

以全球大厂海康威视为例，2013年合并营收约16亿美元，2014年提升至27亿美元，2015年营收可上看40亿美元，几乎每年以50%的幅度成长，反映出安防市场的需求很高。

With global manufacturers of Hikvision, for example, 2013 consolidated revenue of about $1.6 billion, to $27 billion in 2014 to improve, 2015 revenues of 40 billion dollars, almost every year to 50% of the rate of growth, reflecting the security market, the demand is very high.

红外线过去已有应用在虹膜辨识，但随着因特网、物联网蓬勃发展，大家对辨识安全的风险也格外重视，尤其是虹膜辨识比起指纹辨识更为安全，虹膜辨识设计约有200多个侦测点要判读，指纹辨识的侦测仅约40~50个点，因此虹膜辨识的模仿比率非常低。

Infrared past has been applied in iris recognition, but with the Internet, the vigorous development of the Internet of things, we risk the safety identification also paid special attention to especially iris recognition than fingerprint identification is more safe, iris recognition design about more than 200 point detection to interpretation, fingerprint detection of knowledge only about 40 or 50 points, so iris recognition of imitation ratio is very low.

此外，2015年微软Windows10系统支持后，近期陆续有相机模块厂或品牌业者跃跃欲试，特别使用波长以810nm为主，估计NB厂导入设计的脚步可能较快，主要是NB应用对于产品厚度容忍度较高，但预计未来无论是平板或手机都有可能导入。

In addition, 2015 Microsoft a Windows 10 system support, one after another recently camera module plant or brand industry eager, especially the use of wavelength 810nm estimated NB factory into the design steps may be faster, mainly NB applications for the thickness of the product is high tolerance, but it is expected the future either flat or mobile phones are likely to import.

由于红外线LED制造需要使用四元晶粒机台设备，目前产业竞争者较少，台LED晶粒厂厂以晶电、光鋐为主，大陆市场以三安光电为少数具备生产能力的公司。不同于LED照明需要采用二次光学的套件以达到产品需要的光型，红外线应用的安控产品则倾向于直接以LED组件做出光型，要如何以大功率产品做出小角度仍具有困难，近期虽然陆续有其他LED厂商想切入，但仍有一定技术瓶颈存在。

Due to the infrared LED manufacturing need to use four yuan grain machine equipment, at present industry with few competitors, Taiwan LED grain plant to crystal electric, light hung, mainland market in Sanan optoelectronics for minority has production capacity of the company. Different in LED lighting needs to use the secondary optical suite in order to achieve the type of products need to light, infrared application security products tend to directly to the LED components to make light, to how to high-power products make small angle is still difficult, the recent although a succession of other LED manufacturers to cut, but there are still certain technical bottlenecks exist.

跳脱LED照明拼价旧思维

Jump off LED lighting to fight the old thinking

不可见光强调技术及整合门槛

Invisible light emphasizes technology and integration threshold

值得注意的是，过去业界跳进来做LED照明时，大家都抢着做标准化产品，然而不可见光产品却是走向工业化或客制化等特殊应用。以UV LED为例，若LED业者仍然将UV LED产品当作原本的LED照明来卖，那无疑将走错方向，即使价格便宜3成，客户也不见得买单，因为UV LED必须搭配整体系统端来进行设计，甚至UV-C LED未来势必要走向垂直整合的路线，从组件一路做到应用端。

It is worth noting that, in the past when the industry jumped in to do LED lighting, we are rushing to do the standardization of products, however, the product is not visible light industrial or commercial and other special applications. UV LED, for example, if the LED industry will still be UV LED products as originally led lighting to sell, it will undoubtedly go in the wrong direction, even if the price is cheap to 3, customers will not necessarily pay, because the UV LED must match the overall end system to carry on the design, even UV-C led future potential necessary route toward vertical integration, all the way from the components do end application.

由于红外线或紫外光LED的应用市场在工业化或客制化产品，虽然整体市场规模不如照明庞大，但是，受到技术及营运门槛较高，看好未来将可望为LED产业带来新的成长契机。

Due to the infrared or ultraviolet LED application market in industrialized or customized products, although the overall market size as lighting huge, however, by a higher threshold for the technical and operational, optimistic about the future would be expected for a LED industry to bring new development opportunities.
