Semiconductor Seeks Greater Market Share in Global High-Power LED Market Valued
at USD 2 Billion with Innovative WICOP LED Technology
ANSAN, South Korea--Seoul Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (KOSDAQ
046890), a leading global innovator of LED products and technology, announced
that it has introduced high-power LED package ‘Z5M4’ with WICOP technology, one
of the second-generation technologies in the LED industry. Z5M4 is 10% brighter
than the conventional products and is easy to replace the existing high-power
products. Accordingly, Seoul
Semiconductor seeks to expand its market share in the USD 2 billion worth of global
high-power LED market for street lighting,
bay-lighting, and horticulture lighting, which has been formed by vertical chip
manufacturers.

* Vertical chip: Excellent heat dissipation
structure with vertical electrodes design * COB (Chip on Board): A structure that
reduces the volume by connecting wires to a semiconductor chip directly
mounted on a printed circuit board * CSP (Chip Scale Package): Silicon
semiconductor technology that makes BGA (Ball Grid Array) on silicon
semiconductor chips and assembles them in a clean room |
Z5M4 LED with WICOP technology is
designed to be 1:1 compatible easily with existing high-power products, and its
excellent heat dissipation structure makes it a high-power LED package suitable
for high-brightness and high-efficiency. It offers an industry-leading high
luminous efficiency of 175 lm/W and can be used for up to 100,000 hours.
Seoul Semiconductor has been leading the
global market with its core patented technology, which obtained a permanent
injunction against Philips TV product and 13 automotive lighting brand LED
products infringing WICOP patents in 2019 and 2021.
“Seoul Semiconductor’s Z5M4 LED for high-power
lighting will quickly encroach the USD 2 billion market dominated by vertical
technology companies. We plan to apply this product not only to the high-power lightings,
but also to the electronic device flash and automotive lightings, followed by
SunLike LED, a natural sunlight spectrum LED technology,” said an official of
Seoul Semiconductor.
