On this day, Professor Horng Ray-Hua of National Chiao Tung University, renowned for his expertise in the field of engineering, delivered the keynote lecture and explained the application value of UV LEDs.

Following this, industry officials including Ouyang Chenyi, CEO of UV LED Optical, one of the world's top three nail curing equipment manufacturers; Xiang Yu, Head of Product Planning at HCEN, a manufacturer of UV modules for water purification; and Wan Tianwei, General Manager of HaidUV, a manufacturer of UV modules for home appliances, introduced examples of UV LED applications currently taking place in the Chinese market.

Along with this, Professor Kang Dong-hyun of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Seoul National University announced the results of a study demonstrating the sterilization power of UV LEDs. He explained that a UV-C LED with a light output of 100 milliwatts (mW) showed excellent sterilization effects, such as eliminating 99.9% of Salmonella bacteria, which cause food poisoning, in just 3.4 seconds.

Song Jun-o, Head of LG Innotek's LED Business Division, introduced the product lineup and development roadmap. He stated, “Following the increase in the light output of sterilizing UV LEDs to 100mW last year, we plan to increase it to 150mW this year and to 200mW in 2019.”

A UV LED exhibition booth was also set up at the event venue. Over 30 types of UV LED packages, including the world's highest light output 100mW UV-C LED, as well as proprietary sterilization modules and application products, were on display, attracting significant interest from visitors.

An official from LG Innotek stated, “We were able to confirm significant interest in UV LEDs from Chinese companies,” adding, “We could see their determination to utilize UV LEDs to differentiate the functionality and quality of existing finished products and to address environmental and hygiene issues.”
