Seoul semiconductor LED finalists United States Department of energy zero energy building research alliance project

In September 25, 2010, LED announced that the company's semiconductor suppliers in Seoul LED solution has been successfully applied to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory zero energy building project alliance (Oak Ridge National Laboratories ZEBRAlliance project). Through this project, Seoul semiconductor will show the public the advantages of LED lighting in home lighting applications, compared with the traditional incandescent and compact fluorescent bulbs.

Zero energy building alliance (ZEBRAlliance) project sponsored by the U.S. Schaad LLC company, Tennessee River Basin Management Committee, the U.S. Department of energy and the Oak Ridge National laboratory. Through the field evaluation of the energy consumption of two residential buildings, the paper reveals the role of energy saving technology in building energy conservation, and studies how to reduce the load of the existing power grid and reduce the dependence on non renewable energy sources.

In this two-year project, researchers will closely monitor the two residential energy consumption, lighting quality, maintenance requirements and other aspects of the data. The lighting system of a residential use all of Seoul semiconductor Acriche LED solution, and the other is a compact fluorescent lamp using scheme.

Seoul Acriche LED semiconductor solid-state lighting is a unique solution. Compared with most other solid-state lighting solutions, LED does not require Acriche converts AC to DC can be directly driven by alternating current, energy saving effect and economy is more significant. Therefore, in the zero energy building alliance project, not only energy-saving Home Furnishing display area using Acriche LED, and the new trend of Home Furnishing display area is also used in the scheme.

In addition, the LED is much more durable than the traditional light bulb, and the brightness of the lamp is five times as much as that of an ordinary incandescent lamp, which can save up to 86% energy. At the same time, the color quality of LED lamp is much better than that of traditional lamp. Seoul semiconductor will continue to improve the performance of the Acriche, so that by the end of this year will double its lumen value.

Seoul semiconductor will by quoting from "Acriche House" (that is, above the Acriche LED residential) data, to further expand its market share of LED lighting solutions. The name "Acriche" from the Greek word "Acro" and "Rich", "Acro" said the cutting-edge technology, "Rich" meaning rich. The name also shows that Seoul semiconductor is committed to leading lighting technology to provide customers with high-quality business life mission.

Seoul semiconductor has 5500 patents, including Acriche related technologies. Acriche technology can be connected with a plurality of light emitting elements in a single chip, and can be run in AC power and high voltage DC power supply, which greatly simplifies the design of LED, promote the development of LED TV backlight, solid-state lighting and many other applications.

Seoul vice president of North American sales Wilcox semiconductor Brian said: "the ZEBRAlliance project to open a new era of Home Furnishing lighting. The US Congress has said it will cut out incandescent bulbs by 2014, and European countries have taken steps to ban the sale of more than 100 watt incandescent bulbs last year. Consumer awareness of LED lighting efficiency and energy saving advantages are gradually improving, the LED market will continue to achieve steady growth."

He also said: by participating in this project, we not only show the determination to continue to promote the development of LED, and further consolidate the status of market leaders."
