　　Next Generation UV LED Technology Benefits Industrial Curing

　　尽管紫外线在日常生活中有明显的危害，但由于紫外线的影响，紫外线（UV）光谱在各种技术制造和工业加工领域提供了许多有益的影响。正如标准可见的波长LED已经影响到今天的照明、标牌和显示市场，因此紫外线LED的先进部署正为多种应用提供广泛的优势，特别是在技术和工业市场上。

　　某些最近的技术进步正在使UV LED市场细分到产品创新和性能的新水平。结果，设计工程师们越来越注意到，随着替代技术的出现，新出现的UV LED技术产生了巨大的成本、能源和空间节省。

　　根据Richard Halliday的说法，在绿森销售和市场营销总监，对紫外LED技术的最新一代的好处，意味着这个市场预计将增长迅速：他引用31%预计在未来五年的复合年增长率图。

　　Research by Yole Développement bears out this rapid rate of growth. UV LEDs are forecast to account for approximately 28% of the total UV lamp market by 2016.Thanks to their compactness， lower cost of ownership， and environmentally-friendly composition， UV LEDs will continue replacing traditional UV lamps in existing applications， but will also create new applications， especially portable ones. Yole expects the UV LED market to grow from $32.5 million in 2011 to more than $150 million per year by 2016¹。

　　The UV spectrum encompasses all wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation between 100 nm and 400 nm and is commonly broken down into three distinct sub-ranges： UV-A at 315-400 nm （also known as “long wave UV”）; UV-B between 280-315 nm （“medium wave”）; and UV-C， which is 100-280 nm （“short wave”）。
