In booth #1851 at LIGHTFAIR International (LFI2016) in San Diego, CA, USA (26-28 April), Taiwan-based Everlight Electronics Co Ltd is launching a new UV LED portfolio comprising five products covering wavelengths between 365nm and 400nm.
The UV LED market is expected to grow rapidly in 2016, due to upcoming applications (in addition to the established application to printing). Emerging curing applications (such as UV paint and cosmetic curing), medical treatments, domestic disinfection and home appliances (such as photocatalytic air and water purifiers) are as appealing as counterfeit checking.
All five new UV LED products are based on a special UV ceramic substrate to effectively improve the heat resistance. Three high-power (1.8W) components - EAUVA35352 (3.5mm x 3.5mm x 2.31mm), EAUVA35353 (3.5mm x 3.5mm x 3.51mm) and EAUVA4545 (4.5mm x 4.5mm x 5.0mm) - feature different viewing angles of 120°, 50° and 30°, respectively. Complementing the high-power range are two lower-power (0.08W) components: EAUVA3020 (3.0mm x 2mm x 0.65mm) has a very uniform light pattern and EAUVA2016 (2.0mm x 1.6mm x 0.75mm) is the smallest option in the new UV LED range.
Samples are available now (upon request). Mass production will start in second-quarter 2016.
