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）光譜在各種技術制造和工業加工領域提供了許多有益的影響。正如標準可見的波長LED已經影響到今天的照明、標牌和顯示市場，因此紫外線LED的先進部署正為多種應用提供廣泛的優勢，特別是在技術和工業市場上。

　　某些最近的技術進步正在使UV LED市場細分到產品創新和性能的新水平。結果，設計工程師們越來越注意到，隨著替代技術的出現，新出現的UV LED技術產生了巨大的成本、能源和空間節省。

　　根據Richard Halliday的說法，在綠森銷售和市場營銷總監，對紫外LED技術的最新一代的好處，意味著這個市場預計將增長迅速：他引用31%預計在未來五年的復合年增長率圖。

　　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 “long wave UV”）; UV-B between 280-315 nm （“medium wave”）; and UV-C， which is 100-280 nm （“short wave”）。
