In February 2017 23, Seoul South Korea / / -- LG Innotek has developed the world's largest power sterilization by UVC LED, 280 nm wavelength (nm) of the 1 LED optical power up to 70 MW (mW). The bactericidal force is 1.5 times higher than the existing 40mW grade LED, and it can sterilize the water and air.

UVC LED (UV, ultraviolet and rays in ultraviolet sterilization) with 200~280 wavelength of LED. It destroys the DNA of bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella to prevent its reproduction.

So far, UVC LED is mainly used in small health products. This is because of its low light power and weak bactericidal power. The LED for the toothbrush bactericide is 1mW, and the LED for the humidifier water tank is 2mW.

LG Innotek using self-developed vertical LED chip technology, break through the limitation of UVC optical power. The power is continuously improved and the generated heat is effectively discharged, thus ensuring high quality reliability.

The length and width are 6 millimeter (mm), and the thickness is 1.35mm, although it is smaller than the nail, but its bactericidal performance is the most in the world.

It also applies to hardened equipment in the manufacturing industry. Because of the strong UV output, it can improve the performance of the curing device.

Water purification, purification or hardening of manufacturers can be obtained from the LG innovative uses of the UVC LED supply with. This is because LG Innotek has from the epitaxial wafer to the chip and package (package), a series of modular production system, the provision of goods through strict quality management.

With 280nm UVC LED and LG Innotek from 365nm, 385nm, 395nm, 405nm UV-A LED, 305nm UV-B medical sterilization LED suitable for various uses of the product lineup.

The club said: "LG Innotek policy is continued to expand the application field of UVC LED."

According to the prediction of Yole Developpement of market research organization, the world UV LED market will increase from 30 billion 100 million billion yuan in 2015 to 70 billion 200 million billion won in 2017.
