Seoul Semiconductor debuts 5x brightness LED new 'nPola'

On July 3, 2012, the famous LED professional company - Seoul Semiconductor's new LED product 'nPola' made its debut at the Plaza Hotel in Kyung-dong, Jongno-gu. This product uses the core technology that will lead the next-generation lighting market.

The new product 'nPola' that was publicized on that day was a semiconductor product developed by Seoul Semiconductor for more than 10 years. It features a non-polar technology and greatly improves the luminous efficiency compared to the current LED in the same area. The brightness is 5 times higher.

At present, the luminous efficiency of mass-produced LED is about 100 lumens, and this time Seoul Semiconductor's 'nPola' product has reached 500 lumens, which is five times that of current products. To put it simply, 10-20 LEDs are generally used when making LED bulbs that replace 60W home bulbs. However, when using 'nPola', only 1 or 2 LEDs can achieve the same brightness.

With the introduction of LED products in the general lighting industry, the lighting industry is expected to save a lot of energy. However, due to the relatively high cost of LED products, the popularity of the LED lighting market has been slowed down. Seoul Semiconductor through this successful mass production of "nPola" products, can promote the replacement of traditional lighting LED lighting; lighting market accounts for 20% of the world's electricity consumption, Seoul Semiconductor will contribute to the cause of energy-saving emission reduction worldwide.

Li Zhenxun’s legal representative said that “in the past 20 years or so we have only focused on one area of ​​LED. The new product launched this time can be said to be the essence of more than 20 years of core technology” and “is the ultimate goal of LED light source”. Great confidence in the product. Seoul Semiconductor will soon enter production and plans to start sales with overseas strategic points.

In addition, Professor Shinji Nakamura, who is known as the "father of LED," participated in the event and introduced the technical strength of Seoul Semiconductor. Professor Shinji Nakamura, who has been nominated for a Nobel Prize candidate, is currently a professor at the University of Santa Barbara in the United States and is also an advisor to Seoul Semiconductor. Professor Nakamura said that "Seoul Semiconductor's technology and competitiveness are also one of the best in the international market," and said that "the LED products released today will open up a whole new situation in the lighting market."

In addition to launching new products, the event on the day also included booths for personal auditions of Seoul Semiconductor's core products - Acrich, UV, and white LEDs - and attracted a lot of attention from participants.
