The new product dubbed “WICOP (Wafer Level Integrated Chip on PCB) Y22” boasts luminous efficiency of 210 lumens per watt, becoming closer to meet 220 lumens goal of the U.S. Energy Department has set by the year 2020 to promote LED.
The company is the world’s first to produce the WICOP that does not require separate packaging for an LED chip such as frames and gold wires. It has been the front runner in the LED field, having developed for lighting for backlights and camera flashes, as well as for head lamps of vehicles. It recently rolled out WICOP 2 for general lighting applications.
It plans to widen the scope of its LED applications with the inclusion of the new WICOP type to various fields of lighting for automobiles and IT sectors whose demand is estimated to reach 20 trillion won.
The share of high powered LEDs such as WICOP in the global LED market has been rising sharply, taking up 20 percent of market share last year, according to a market survey firm Strategies Unlimited. It is expected to surpass 30 percent by 2020.
The new WICOP Y22 is designed to directly connect an LED chip to a printed circuit board (PCB), eliminating the need for packaging process, such as die bonding or wire bonding. It achieves the ultra-small size and high efficiency, one fourth the size and yet 17 percent brighter than conventional LEDs that use chip-scale package (CSP) technology.
