Seoul Semiconductor announces new LED technology
Seoul Semiconductor,a South Korea-based LED manufacturer,unveiled a new LED product called nPola.Seoul Semiconductor holds the patented technology rights to the technology which has been under development for over 10 years.Brightness is improved by five-fold over conventional LEDs based on equivalent die surface area.The company expects further improvements will increase this to more than 10 times existing LEDs.
Currently,the brightness of a power chip LED in mass production is around 100 lumens in warm white but this new product produces 500 lumens which is five times better.As an example,when making a LED bulb for a 60W household bulb replacement,generally,10-20 LED packages are used,but when this new product is applied,the same brightness can be achieved with only 1-2 packages,according to the firm.
Seoul Semiconductor CEO,Chung Hoon Lee,expressed strong confidence in the new product.The company said it will immediately begin production with sales domestically and in strategic markets abroad.
