The new UV Slim LED devices are designed specifically for high-density linear arrays, and provide the maximum UV energy of any single-die UV LED available.Besides, these devices also improve workplace safety and lower environmental impact by eliminating harmful byproducts such as ozone and mercury.The UV Slim LED represents our dedication in providing customers with the best UV LED technology available," says Mike Lim,led high bay light of Global Industrial and New Business at Luminus. "Customers can tightly align the UV Slim LEDs together in order to generate the highest power-density UV LED line source available, which is especially useful for line-curing applications.

Designed with graphic arts printing in mind, the UV Slim devices also provide all of the traditional advantages of Luminus' Big Chip LED technology, including improved thermal power density and simpler support system architecture, along with delivering greater wall-plug efficiency than traditionally-sized LED dies.Dr David Carroll at Wake Forest University has utilized the technology based on Field-Induced Polymer Electroluminescent Technology (FIPEL) and emits a soft white light, to create the light source.


According to Dr Carroll, the light source is made from three layers of moldable, white-emitting polymer blended with nanomaterials that glow when stimulated to create bright, natural “white light similar to the led flood light sunlight human eyes prefer”.Dr Carroll, a director of the university’s Centre for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials, said: “This new lighting solution is at least twice as efficient as compact fluorescent bulbs and on par with LEDs.The light can be made in any colour and any shape – from 8 foot square sheets to replace office lighting to a light source to fit household lamps and light fixtures. The professor claims he has a FIPEL light source which has lasted for 10 years.
