一. LED chip technology
With the rapid progress of LED technology and the continuous improvement of LED light efficiency, the application scope of LED is constantly expanding. With the global energy supply tight, people are increasingly interested in the prospects of LEDs in the lighting field, believing that LEDs are expected to become a potential light source that can replace incandescent lamps, tungsten lamps and fluorescent lamps.
The LED lighting market has huge growth potential. The application of LED lighting equipment has gradually expanded from being mainly used for outdoor landscape lighting in the past to indoors. According to analysis, the LED indoor lighting market is expected to grow exponentially in the next five years. In 2011, its output value reached tens of billions of dollars. Especially since the European Union first implemented its plan to ban incandescent lamps in 2009, energy conservation issues have attracted much attention, creating huge market opportunities and promising prospects for the LED indoor lighting market.
The continuous improvement of LED chip technology and the decline of prices are the key factors driving the cost reduction of LED lighting applications. With the continuous improvement of LED chip technology, the luminous efficiency of LEDs has been improved, and the cost of a single LED chip has continued to decrease. At the same time, the release of large-scale production capacity investment has triggered fierce market competition, which will also drive down chip prices, effectively reducing the cost of LED lighting products.
Whether it is high-power LED chips used for key lighting and overall lighting, or low-power LED chips used for decorative lighting and some simple auxiliary lighting, the core of technological upgrades lies in how to develop more efficient and stable LED chips. In just a few years, through the adoption of technological innovations such as new chip structures and multi-quantum well structures, LEDs have made huge breakthroughs in luminous efficiency, laying a solid foundation for the widespread application of LED semiconductor lighting.
二. LED chip application
1. LED applications in automobiles
While incandescent lamps have been the primary lighting fixture inside and outside automobiles, designers and automakers are increasingly adopting LED technology. Initially, LEDs may only be used in high-end cars, but gradually they will be used in most cars. An important advantage of LEDs is their very long mean time between failures (MTBF). The life of LED lighting devices often exceeds the life of the car itself. There are a variety of LED products available in packages and devices suitable for automotive interior lighting equipment such as instrument panels, air conditioners, radios, and electronic switches. For example, SMT devices are well suited for automotive instrument panels. Versatile 3mm and 5mm injection molded lamps continue to be the first choice for automotive interior and exterior lighting, and these devices are now widely used in center high-mounted parking light (CHMSL) equipment. The thermal design of LED car lights is very different compared to incandescent lights. This is because incandescent lamps produce a lot of heat, and incandescent bulbs can withstand high-temperature environments. LED light arrays generate less heat, but must remain within recommended upper limits to ensure reliable LED operation. If the maximum junction temperature of the LED lamp exceeds the specified value, it may cause failure of the wire adhesive or LED chip, which is caused by the expansion of the epoxy material. These failures may be more prominent in thermal cycling or enhanced thermal cycling environments with higher humidity. The maximum internal junction temperature of an LED lamp is limited by the thermal expansion characteristics of the epoxy encapsulation material. Compared with the design of incandescent automotive signal lights, due to the limitation of larger junction temperature, the design of LED automotive signal lights must seriously consider thermal design issues.
2. LED applications in lighting field
The chips used in traditional LED lights are usually 0.25×0.25mm in size, while LEDs used for lighting are usually larger than 1.0×1.0mm. Design work focusing on structured die molding, including desktop structure, inverted pyramid structure and flip-chip design, can significantly improve the luminous efficiency of LEDs and enable the chip to emit more light. Innovations in package design include the use of highly thermally conductive metal blocks as substrates, flip-chip designs, and bare-disk cast lead frames, all of which help to design high-power, low-thermal-resistance devices. Illumination is higher than previous devices.
Currently, generally speaking, the output light of high-flux LED devices ranges from a few lumens to dozens of lumens. By adopting newer design methods, it is possible to integrate more LEDs into a single device, or to install multiple devices in a single assembly, resulting in a light output equivalent to a small incandescent lamp. For example, a high-power 12-chip single-color LED device can output up to 200 lumens while consuming only 10 to 15 watts. This technological improvement helps LED lighting systems maintain low energy consumption while providing high brightness, thereby reducing power consumption and reducing energy costs, achieving significant energy-saving benefits.
LEDs are already widely used in a variety of lighting equipment, including battery-powered flash lights, miniature voice-activated lights, security lights, indoor and outdoor path and stair lighting, and continuous lighting of buildings and signs. These broad areas of application demonstrate the versatility and adaptability of LED technology, making it one of the preferred solutions in the lighting sector.
As global energy issues become increasingly prominent, the demand for efficient and energy-saving lighting technology will continue to increase, and the development of LED technology will continue to play a key role in the future. The continuous improvement of LED chip technology will promote the wider application of LED lighting products and contribute to environmental protection and sustainable development.
Among the many lighting options, LED has an optimistic future. Its application in the lighting market will continue to expand, providing people with more energy-saving, reliable and long-lasting lighting solutions, thereby improving our living and working environment.
3. Summary
The rapid development and widespread application of LED technology are changing the landscape of the lighting field. The continuous improvement of LED chip technology, the decrease in price and the expansion of various application fields have made LED a lighting source with great potential. Whether in the automotive field or indoor and outdoor lighting, LEDs have shown excellent performance and application prospects, bringing unlimited possibilities to the future lighting industry.
