The production of LED lamps is increasing

29.06.2013

According to Biing-Jye Lee, chairman of Epistar, Taiwan's leading LED chip manufacturer, global shipments of replacement LED light bulbs in 2013 could reach 600 million units, up from 200 million units in 2012. will give an increase of 300%.

“However, compared to annual shipments of 10 billion conventional lamps, the figure for the LED market segment is still low. But if growth of 300% continues in 2014, then the total production of LED lamps is likely to reach the level of 2 billion units. a year," Li said.

In addition, the price gap between the upgraded 40W LED replacement lamp and the energy saving lamp continues to narrow in 2013.

Li added that when the total supply of LED lamps reaches 1,8-2 billion pieces, it will require 300 sets of MOCVD (metal-organic chemical vapor deposition) equipment to ensure output. "Adding demand for LED 'tubes' and specialty lighting products, it is possible that the overall lamp market could reach equilibrium in the second half of 2014 or 2015," Li said. Currently, the total capacity of MOCVD equipment is about 2300-2400 complexes.

Looking at sales in the market, Li added that 40-watt modified LED lamps are the main battlefield between manufacturing companies. According to Li, selling prices for 40-watt energy-saving lamps are about $1,2-1,3 per piece. - in comparison with the selling price of LED-lamps of the corresponding class of 2,5 USD/pc.

Although the price difference is large, compared with the energy-saving lamp, the lifespan of the LED lamp is 300% longer.

"The situation is different with 60W lamps," Li said. "The price of LED lamps rises significantly with the increase in the luminous flux emitted by companies, but the difference in the cost of energy-saving lamps of different wattages is only 10%. This means that the selling price between energy-saving lamps and LED - lamps of the corresponding class can be 400-500%. Therefore, many LED manufacturers are focusing on the production of 40-W lamps.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Electronic helmet for truck drivers 14.04.2024

Road safety, especially for drivers of heavy construction equipment, is a top priority for engineers and scientists. In light of this, the German Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Strength and System Reliability has introduced a new product - an electronic helmet, which is designed to protect drivers from serious injury when driving construction vehicles. A new electronic helmet developed by a team of engineers from the Fraunhofer Institute opens up new perspectives for the safety of truck and construction equipment drivers. The device is capable of monitoring the level of shaking in the car cabin and warning the driver of possible danger. The basis of the helmet's operation is a built-in piezoelectric sensor, which generates electricity during physical deformation. This mechanism allows the device to respond to intense vibrations typical of construction equipment. When the level of deformation exceeds safe values, an alarm system is activated on the helmet, ... >>

Antivitamins instead of antibiotics 13.04.2024

The problem of bacterial resistance to antibiotics is becoming increasingly serious, posing a threat to the effective treatment of infections. In light of this, researchers are looking for new ways to combat superbugs. One of the promising directions is the use of antivitamins that can have an antibacterial effect. Antivitamins, although known as the opposite of vitamins, have proven to be a promising tool in the fight against bacterial antibiotic resistance. A study conducted by scientists from the University of Göttingen in Germany confirmed their potential in creating new drugs to combat dangerous infections. With the rise of antibiotic-resistant superbugs, there is a need to find alternative treatments. Antivitamins are molecules similar to vitamins, but capable of inhibiting bacterial activity without harm to the human body. At the moment, science knows only three antivitamins: rose ... >>

pokemon electromagnetic gun 04.10.2012

In 1997, the most popular animated series about Pokemon was shown on television - fictional intelligent animals with unusual abilities. Recently it became known that the US military was seriously carried away by the children's cartoon. In 1998, the US Army Intelligence Service proposed to scientists to develop an electromagnetic emitter that would "overload" the brains of the enemy and make him convulse.

The fact is that a rather unpleasant incident occurred in the history of Pokemon: on December 16, 1997, during the show of the animated series about Pokemon on Japanese television, about 700 viewers experienced symptoms of epilepsy. Due to the excitation of the optic nerve by specific signals (according to the authors of the cartoon, the image is too bright and dynamic with frequent flashes), hundreds of viewers felt nauseous and experienced an attack of vomiting.

According to a declassified Pentagon document, electromagnetic pulses have the potential to cause neurons to emit erratic, frequent signals, resulting in "impaired muscle control." According to the military, the vast majority of people are not able to resist the effects of such an induction gun.

It should be noted that the idea of using electromagnetic radiation to disrupt chemical pathways in the central nervous system looks very dangerous. This weapon is supposed to induce a nervous attack similar to an epileptic one and act on the enemy through visual signals or invisible electromagnetic beams.

The idea is that a specific electrical signal from the optic nerve triggers the excitatory mechanisms of the nervous system. The US military wanted just such a weapon and added that it should act on 100% of people from a distance of up to hundreds of meters. At the same time, the "Pokemon gun" should incapacitate a person as quickly as an epileptic seizure (in 3-5 minutes) and have a similar effect, that is, a complete loss of muscle control and a temporary disorder of consciousness.

The document emphasizes that the loss of working capacity of the human nervous system under the influence of an electromagnetic pulse has not been verified. However, the analysis suggests that electric field strengths of 50 to 100 kV/m are likely to be "sufficient to trigger neural activity: Thus, such a weapon can work even at a distance of hundreds of kilometers."
