Toyoda Gosei develops high output UV-C LEDs
200 mW light output means LEDs can be a future alternative to mercury lamps
Toyoda Gosei has used it expertise in crystallisation and design of blue LEDs for lighting to develop UV-C LEDs with a light output of 200 mW from a single chip driven by 350 mA.
Toyoda Gosei says these performance figures mean the LEDs can be used as a future alternative to mercury lamps
By improving the LED structure and composition, the company says it has quadrupled the amount of light that can be extracted. Disinfecting capability is said to be about three times higher than previously available UVC-LEDs.
