Seoul Acriche will LED application to domestic and industrial lighting

South Korea's major LED provider Seoul Semiconductor has invested $40 million to mass production of its invention of the new LED. The LED requires only a simple circuit to connect directly to the 110V or 220V AC outlet, without the need to use the AC converter.

Du Yeal Kim sales director Seoul Semiconductor said the LED is "breakthrough" for the lighting industry, the company is located in the southern Seoul Ansan factory. Kim said it would be "Acriche" the name of the sale of semiconductor embedded light source device, making LED a cost-effective application. He said: our patented AC LED technology will expand the LED market in the field of mobile phones or computers and cars and other areas of the majority of families and industrial lighting. Acriche may replace existing LED, but will only gradually replace." According to the company predicts that by the end of 2007 Acriche chip and module sales will reach $20 million in 2008 to $100 million by the end of 2009 reached $300 million. There are two models of 4W and 8W in the early stage, and the working voltage is 110V and 220V respectively.
