The Current and Future State of UV-LED Technology Monday, October 27, 2014 10:45 AM - 5:00 PM UV LED's have been touted as the next great leap forward for several years. Their disruptive role is being played out in the curing and instrumentation industry and is set to move into the disinfection market. UV LED's are mercury-free, have the ability to instantly reach 100% intensity when turned on, and their lifetime is not dependent on the number of on-off cycles - it's these product characteristics that are driving applications. Are we on the cusp of remarkable performance and cost improvements, or is it just hype? This IUVA Workshop builds on previous IUVA conference sessions and webinars, to bring together industry experts to share their perspectives on the current status and outlook of UV LED's and related products. The program will include a mix of presentations, open discussions and hands-on product showcase.
