The 9-magnitude earthquake and the tsunami it triggered have great effect on many industries from semiconductors to automakers. Many people wonder that whether the LED industry will striken too by such catastrophic disasters. According to some experts, the answer is no, they point out that the manufacturing process of LED is shockproof, besides the two dominant LED makers in Japan Nichia and Toyoda Gosei are far away from the disaster-hit area in northeast Japan. The conclusion is the earthquake did not destroy the LED industry and will not. Another company SDK had its LED production line in Chiba, said whether the power blackouts and power cuts affects the production remains to be seen, but on the whole, the LED did not get influenced much in the disasters.
Discovered in the 1960s, and now are widely in use all over the world. LED, the abbreviation of light emitting diode, is regarded as the future of light as it has the advantage of low energy consumption, long life span, durable and environmental friendly. This kind of illumination is applied in various areas ranging from traffic lights to vehicles and other electronic gadgets as well as family illumination though it costs a lot of money, that is a worthwhile invest.
The LED lights available in the market nowadays are of all sizes and colors, makes customer get the most suitable one. If you want your LED works properly and lasts long, first you need to rub the bulbs regularly with cloth and remove the dirt from it; next do not forget to use a surge suppressor as the wrong voltage could damage the lights; thirdly, making sure that your LED is installed correctly; and last, remember to turn off it every time when you do not use it.
Due to the rapid development of technology in semiconductor and encapsulation, the LED lighting application is on the way to form and expand gradually.The related integrated circuit is MG100J6ES50.
