Seoul semiconductor first mass production of LED light source for automotive headlamps in South Korea

Seoul Semiconductor, the world's leading LED supplier, announced today that its LED light source for automotive headlights was successfully produced for the first time in South Korea. According to the announcement, LED light sources suitable for automotive headlamps produced by Seoul Semiconductor have been used by the fourth-largest automaker in the world for the best vans in Korea.

Last May, Seoul Semiconductor successfully developed and supplied the market with a DRL (daytime running light) LED light source suitable for automotive headlights. Through the channel of professional auto parts manufacturer SL, Seoul Semiconductor provided the market with new Z Power LED products. The technology required for LED car headlights is very high. Under such circumstances, it is significant for Seoul Semiconductor to develop and manufacture its own LED light source for automotive headlights for the first time in Korea.

Seoul Semiconductor has been focusing on technology development for many years. In the end, it received an AEC-Q101 certificate from the Automotive Electronics Council (AEC). At the same time, Seoul Semiconductor has produced an LED light source for DRL automotive headlights for European manufacturers since last year. Compared with the current HID lamp, automotive headlamps using the new LED light source have high efficiency, high luminous intensity and high reliability. At the same time, the product also features stable performance and stylish style.

At present, the market's demand for hybrid electric vehicles is increasing day by day. This has also led to a rapid increase in demand for LED automotive headlamps. Last year, the global LED car headlamp market reached 988 million U.S. dollars, and the market is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 22%, reaching 2.16 billion U.S. dollars in 2014. It is worth mentioning that the LED auto headlamp market is expected to grow at a high rate of 36% annually, which is much faster than the overall development of LED automotive lighting. Seoul Semiconductor's current product line covers the entire LED automotive lighting field, including indoor and outdoor LED automotive lighting products, and this coincides with the current market trend. In addition to the Korean market, Seoul Semiconductor also supplies related products to automakers in the United States and Europe with a diverse automotive LED product line.

John S, vice president of Seoul Semiconductor. Bae said: "Seoul Semiconductor's great success in the field of automotive lighting can be attributed to the many efforts made by SL's developers. It is their trust in Seoul Semiconductor and the application of high technology to Seoul Semiconductor's products. He added: "With the realization of Seoul Semiconductor's first mass production of LED light sources for automotive headlamps in Korea, we completed the product portfolio of all automotive LEDs. As a result, we can meet Domestic demand will also be able to expand the global market.”
