GlowOne to introduce 'Quantum Dot LED lighting' with natural light level
Yang In-seok, CEO of GlowOne, a specialized LED lighting company, introduces LED lighting using quantum dot technology at the headquarters in Banwol-dong, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do. CEO Yang rolled up a film which is lighting coated with a quantum dot material.
Quantum dot display technology with high color purity is also applied to LED lighting
Next-generation LED lighting technology at the level of natural light using quantum dot materials was first developed in Korea and is about to be commercialized in the second half of the year. ‘Quantum dot LED lighting’ is close to sunlight, so it is bright and has no reflection or glare.
Glow One (CEO Yang In-seok) a specialized LED lighting company, has completed the development of quantum dot LED lighting technology and released a prototype in the second half of the year.
Odytech (CEO Park Byeong-geun), Marui NC (CEO Ji-yeon Ji), and Korea Institute of Optical Technology (Director Shin Yong-jin) participated in this project as a consortium. Odytech developed light-emitting materials, Marui&C produced films based on this, and GlowOne was in charge of general setting.
Quantum dot LED lighting has a CRI Color Rendering Index of 92 to 93. General LED lighting CRI is 80~83. Sunlight is 100, the closer it is to natural light.
Quantum dot is a nanoparticle light emitting semiconductor material that cannot be seen with the eye, and the price of 1g is more expensive than gold. It is coated on a film to create a light emitting material.
It has excellent color purity, color clarity, contrast ratio, and color reproducibility, so it is currently applied to large TVs. It is also of high interest as a next-generation lighting technology by realizing white lighting that is natural and blind like sunlight.
Yang In-seok, CEO of GlowOne, who met with a reporter at the headquarters in Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do on the 2nd, said, “Quantum dot LED lighting has not been developed worldwide. It could be a new turning point in the lighting market,” he said. “Not only foldable and rollable LED lights but also large-area LED lights are possible.” In addition, it added that it is possible to apply digital signage and automobile backlight.
GlowOne, the consortium supervising organization, is planning to commercialize it in the fields of interior lighting, flexible lighting, and special lighting based on quantum dot LED lighting technology from next year. In the case of special lighting for operating rooms or clean rooms, the added value is particularly high.
Currently, more than 70% of the domestic LED lighting market is made in China. The price difference between Korean products is 40%, but the quality level is said to be only 10-20% difference. Glowone explains that if this market is not replaced with next-generation lighting such as Qenttdam LED, the domestic industry will have no choice but to leave.
CEO Yang said, “The key to utilizing quantum dot technology in the lighting sector is not to use cadmium, which is harmful to humans and the environment. He said, “In the lighting field, there is a need for continuous research and development for a long time. This government-sponsored project is of great help to SMEs and mid-sized companies that are less capable than large companies.”
CEO Yang said, “We plan to focus on not only industrial lighting, but also interior lighting and special lighting. We will create a new market by advancing to high-end architectural displays (transparent signage).”
Meanwhile, more than 3 billion won will be provided over the next four years for “LED lighting and flexible lighting development with CRI 92 or higher using nano-luminescent materials,” which is one of the core material source technology development projects supported by the Ministry of Industry and Industrial Technology Evaluation Management. Basic technology development was completed through the first phase in 2015 and the second phase in 2017. From this year, when the third phase begins, Glow One, Odytech, Marui&C, and Korea Institute of Optical Technology will develop commercialization technologies such as quantum dot resin and film, and conduct verification/evaluation projects.
