Seoul Semiconductor Co., Ltd., a global optical semiconductor company, announced that Seoul Semiconductor and Seoul Viosys (hereafter referred to as Seoul) are Korea’s #1 optical semiconductor (LED) companies and are among the world’s #1 patent-powered companies.
Seoul is ranked first in the world in the ultraviolet (UV) LED field, developing and mass-producing these LEDs. It is ranked third in the visible-light LED category for the past two years. Its visible-light LEDs are widely used in lighting, displays, and automobiles. Seoul is on the path to being ranked #1.
Seoul is the only company in the world to offer the entire wavelength range from visible light to ultraviolet and infrared, in light-emitting diodes as well as laser diodes (VCSEL). In addition, Seoul is 100% vertically integrated with production capacity for all of these technologies: from wafers and chips to packages and modules.
Seoul is investing nearly $100 million in R&D every year and pouring out innovative LED technologies at a staggering rate. Its collection of patents is unrivaled in the LED industry.
Regarding technology patents, there are thousands of patents for applications related to other major industries. Almost none of the LED products in the world today can be produced unless Seoul approves the use of its patents.
Ready to leap to be #1 in the world with innovative 2nd generation technologies
LEDs recently sold on the market require a patent of Seoul for that enables 10,000+ hours of lifetime, the efficiency of 150 lm/W, and high-quality color quality (CRI 90+). Since Seoul’s founder CH Lee started the company 30 years ago, he has worked tirelessly alongside his teams (and still is today) to develop a collection of patents that protects these new technologies and his company’s future. Although we are not all created equal, CH Lee wants to show that there is hope and fair opportunity in the patent system for young people.
Since the birth of the earth 4.5 billion years ago, the string of life has evolved under the influence of Sun’s light. As a result, our human body operates on a 24-hour basis following the cycle of the sun. In the morning sunlight, the body releases the serotonin hormone to raise awareness. It releases the melatonin hormone under the influence of early evening sunlight to help us sleep. A good night’s sleep removes waste from the brain, strengthens memory, and helps our body recover.
