Next Generation UV LED Technology Benefits Industrial Curing

　　盡管紫外線在日常生活中有明顯的危害，但由于紫外線的影響，紫外線（UV）光譜在各種技術(shù)制造和工業(yè)加工領(lǐng)域提供了許多有益的影響。正如標(biāo)準(zhǔn)可見的波長LED已經(jīng)影響到今天的照明、標(biāo)牌和顯示市場，因此紫外線LED的先進(jìn)部署正為多種應(yīng)用提供廣泛的優(yōu)勢，特別是在技術(shù)和工業(yè)市場上。

　　某些最近的技術(shù)進(jìn)步正在使UV LED市場細(xì)分到產(chǎn)品創(chuàng)新和性能的新水平。結(jié)果，設(shè)計(jì)工程師們?cè)絹碓阶⒁獾剑S著替代技術(shù)的出現(xiàn)，新出現(xiàn)的UV LED技術(shù)產(chǎn)生了巨大的成本、能源和空間節(jié)省。

　　根據(jù)Richard Halliday的說法，在綠森銷售和市場營銷總監(jiān)，對(duì)紫外LED技術(shù)的最新一代的好處，意味著這個(gè)市場預(yù)計(jì)將增長迅速：他引用31%預(yù)計(jì)在未來五年的復(fù)合年增長率圖。

　　Research by Yole Développement bears out this rapid rate of growth. UV LEDs are forecast to account for approximately 28% of the total UV lamp market by 2016.Thanks to their compactness， lower cost of ownership， and environmentally-friendly composition， UV LEDs will continue replacing traditional UV lamps in existing applications， but will also create new applications， especially portable ones. Yole expects the UV LED market to grow from $32.5 million in 2011 to more than $150 million per year by 20161。

　　The UV spectrum encompasses all wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation between 100 nm and 400 nm and is commonly broken down into three distinct sub-ranges： UV-A at 315-400 nm （also known as “l(fā)ong wave UV”）; UV-B between 280-315 nm （“medium wave”）; and UV-C， which is 100-280 nm （“short wave”）。
