Industry elite "IR+UV" future trend and market potential

By SEMI (International Semiconductor Industry Association) in 2016, and co sponsored by the foreign trade association of LED Taiwan (LED process show) IR+UV technology and Application Forum second days "the first year" held by Aqui, Sense, Crayo, Nano, OSRAM Lite (OSRAM), executive Qingdao, party, RayVio, Jason Yole D veloppement industry leading manufacturer, technology trends talked about the IR and UV, and the application of market opportunities and potential.

LED applications should be based on the needs of multiple customers priority

OSRAM Opto Semiconductors infrared and laser products division and senior manager of the Asia Pacific Marketing Department Gu Jidong pointed out that IR (infrared) LED technology can be applied in different areas of industry, automotive and consumer. Recently in the United States and Taiwan quite popular VR (virtual reality), is also a very promising future applications. In order to be widely used, it is a future task for the industry to consider whether or not it is able to provide its technology and experience, and to help customers build the products they need.

OSRAM main products include infrared LED element and a sensing element IRLED products are mainly used in security surveillance, iris identification, distance sensor, and the sensor application in order to enter the market, in cooperation with third parties, to jointly develop the software, at the same time in 2016 and ready to enter the UV LED market, has been providing UV-ALED products sample.

Lite on Technology Manager Li Hongru said, the global high brightness LED market size in 2015 to reach $14 billion 900 million, will reach $16 billion 200 million in 2018. On the application side, the size of the wearable applications market will grow from $67 million in 2013, up to $466 million in 2019. The heart rate sensor and oximetry, will play an important key to high added value. On the whole, physiological detection technology will become more and more important. Related businesses must also be involved in the development of lightweight, low-power, biological and medical products to meet customer needs. Analog Module, Sensor Lite elastic IC Module, or IC Module based algorithms, many solutions to provide customers with.

UVLED focus on the industry focused on future development

Cray Nano founder and chief technology Helge Wwman is based on DUV (Deep UV; deep UV) LED title, to further explore the UVC (ultraviolet wavelength 200 ~ 275nm) development. Helge Wwman does not mince words, for the moment, UVCLED is indeed inefficient, resulting in the performance of the heat is not ideal, which brings many challenges for the packaging process. In addition, the use of substrates and materials, but also quite expensive. But he pointed out that the UVC market will begin to grow in the third quarter of 2016, estimated that by 2019, UVCLED will account for about UVLED market share of about $30%, while the size of the annual revenue will reach $15 million.

Huang Zikun, deputy general manager of the company, how to measure the UVLED light source, to obtain a better measurement results. Generally speaking, the measurement of LED light source must be measured by integrating sphere and spectrometer. He suggested that the ball on the integration of the coating on the PTFE (PTFE), can effectively solve the attenuation of light source. In the design of the spectrometer, the array method is adopted, which can effectively restrain the noise problem in the measurement, and the measurement results are consistent with the actual situation.

UV to grow from the cost structure

Aqui Sense CEO and executive long Oliver Lawal talked about, in fact, UVC has appeared in the market, and the company's UVC technology products can cover the application of chemical, transportation and other major industries. However, this technology is not a manufacturer can be mass production technology, still need a lot of Austrian aid, in order to make it bear fruit.

RayVio director of the Asia Pacific Business Development Zhou Yuxiang further explained that in the air and water, in fact, contain a lot of bacteria. In the mainland of China to carry out the business of UV sterilization cup mass fund-raising, the amount of the final get far more than expected. In addition, a Boeing company plans to set up automatic UV sterilization system, the user must be used after sterilization. The above two cases show that the development of UV applications with market demand, and prospects. However, he also believes that if UVLED is to be further developed, there are many factors to be considered, such as power lifting, high price, how to stabilize the supply, market education, as well as the standard consistency problem.

DUV application to enter the stage of research and development sector cautiously optimistic

According to the observation of DUV, Jason electrical Qingdao deputy general manager Wu Shuai pointed out, the United States, China mainland, South Korea and Japan has a number of Companies in the development of DUV technology. He said that when the wavelength near 270 nm, the disinfection efficiency is excellent, but the standard DUVLED disinfection equipment in mass production still has the cost and technical problems remain to be overcome, but Qingdao Jason at this stage has been launched on the market close to 270 nm scheme. Water disinfection is one of the main applications of the program.

Yole D veloppement, LED OLED and Pars MUKISH that the sapphire market manager, UV lighting and UVLED have advantages and disadvantages, the service life is concerned, UVALED can be maintained for at least 10 thousand hours or more, up to 50 thousand hours. Conversely, the average life span of UV bulbs is 2000 hours, up to only up to 10 thousand hours. Pars MUKISH for UVA to UVC application market forecast: UVA, such as the development of the photocatalyst Purification (Photocatalytic Air), will all the way to 2019
