The LED industry is hunting for innovative technologies and application fields, as lighting and backlight market growth wane. UV LEDs over the past year has caught many LED manufacturers attention, the budding UV-A LED market application sector in nail curing, air purification, and printing applications is attracting top LED players including Nichia and Osram to invest in the sector. UV-C LED or DUV LED that has a wavelength ranging from 200 nm to 280 nm remains a market sector that barely exists at the moment, due to certain technical challenges that call for new solutions.

LED Taiwan, the most influential LED exhibition in Taiwan that is organized by SEMI and the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), will be held at TWTC Nangang Exhibition Hall in Taipei on April 13-16. As the LED market is stabilizing and the growth becomes modest, vendors in the industry continue to invest in technology R&D as part of their efforts to stand out amid a pricing war of end products. In line with current key issues in the industry, this year’s event will feature five theme pavilions, several industry forums and the TechSTAGE. The Taiwan International Lighting Show (TiLS) will also be held during at the same period of time. Total 700 booths are expected to attract over 20,000 visitors.
