Seoul Semiconductor automotive LEDs pass GM reliability tests

Seoul Semiconductor (CEO: Chung-hoon Lee), a leader in LED technology, has announced that it will increase its global automotive LED market share by strengthening its high efficient and high reliability LED product line-up for automotive applications.

Since 2011 Seoul Semiconductor has developed efficient and reliable automotive LEDs and has supplied packaged LEDs for headlamps to global auto makers. Seoul Semiconductor’s 14 specifically designed automotive LEDs have passed reliability tests at General Motors earlier this year. The company views this achievement as being recognized as delivering the world's best level of reliability with its automotive LEDs. SSC is the first Korean company with LEDs that conform to GM’s reliability standards and its automotive LEDs have been used in various GM vehicles.

Lae-hyun, Kim, the vice-president of the automotive business division, says, “LEDs for automotive applications have to meet strict certification standards for reliability, lumen output and efficiency set by automobile manufacturers in Europe, U.S and Japan. Seoul Semiconductor is already recognized for its performance and now the sales revenue for its automotive LEDs continues to grow.”
