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(jiàn)的波長(zhǎng)LED已經(jīng)影響到今天的照明、標(biāo)牌和顯示市場(chǎng)，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(shì)，特別是在技術(shù)和工業(yè)市場(chǎng)上。

　　某些最近的技術(shù)進(jìn)步正在使UV LED市場(chǎng)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?lái)越注意到，隨著替代技術(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(shuō)法，在綠森銷(xiāo)售和市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷(xiāo)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(chǎng)預(yù)計(jì)將增長(zhǎng)迅速：他引用31%預(yù)計(jì)在未來(lái)五年的復(fù)合年增長(zhǎng)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”）。
