Seoul Semiconductor Launches 'WiCop TE' for Headlamps: "Excellent Heat Dissipation for Electric Vehicles"

[Asia Economy Reporter Junhyung Lee] Seoul Semiconductor, a specialist in optical semiconductors, announced on the 14th the launch of the LED headlamp 'WICOP TE' that can be applied to electric vehicles.

The WICOP TE is a product that has dramatically improved the heat generation of existing LED headlamps. Instead of mounting the LED package on a printed circuit board (PCB), it is designed to be mounted on a heatsink to quickly dissipate the heat generated in the headlamp. The company explained that it is relatively lightweight and consumes less battery power, making it applicable to electric vehicles.

WICOP is the second-generation LED technology independently developed by Seoul Semiconductor. Although 13 overseas automotive lighting brands infringed on the patent, in July this year, the U.S. District Court in New Jersey ruled to ban the sale of WICOP in the U.S. except by Seoul Semiconductor.

A Seoul Semiconductor official said, "As the demand for electric vehicles expands and headlamp designs become slimmer, reducing the weight of headlamps and improving heat dissipation performance have become important," adding, "The high-efficiency, high-heat dissipation WICOP product lineup has been applied to over 100 global automotive brands."
