Seoul Viosys, the subsidiary of Seoul Semiconductor focusing on UV LED technology, announced that its Violeds technology has been adopted in washing machines and are now mass produced by Chinese companies Hisense and Haier.

The laundry tank sometimes contains invisible contamination and germs, causing odors and molds in the washing machine. By implementing Violeds technology from Seoul Viosys, the Chinese companies solved the problem of laundry tank sterilization and deodorization.

Seoul Viosys posted its 1Q20 financial results last week noting that its business performance of the first quarter of 2020 was driven by surging demands for its Violeds technology for disinfection applications.

The company also announced the results from a research center at Korea University that Violeds technology sterilizes the coronavirus 99.9%. Seoul Viosys said it will launch a portable personal product within this month for surface and air disinfection with the aim to prevent virus transmission.

Executive vice president Chae Hon Kim, who leads the UV business at Seoul Viosys, said “There have been many difficulties in developing and mass-producing ultraviolet semiconductor UV LEDs for the first time in the world. We have been working with SETi, a U.S. venture company, since 2005, and we are happy that developed as a technology even to sterilize COVID-19 to help the world.”
