Seoul Semiconductor has reached an agreement with M-Vision to license patents related to a UV LED-based portable fluorescent forgery detector. Comparing mercury and LED lamps Seoul Semiconductor (SSC) has reached an agreement with M-Vision to license patents related to a portable fluorescent forgery detector. The technology was jointly developed by SSC’s subsidiary Seoul Optodevice and Korea Minting & Security Printing Corporation (KOMSCO).
   The detector uses UV LEDs to analyze documents. As part of the licensing contract, Seoul Optodevice will receive licensing royalties from M-Vision, an industrial optical component developer, based on sales of the detector.
    Seoul Optodevice has installed commercial production facilities of short wavelength deep-UV LEDs for the first time in the industry, in partnership with US-based Sensor Electronic Technology Inc (SETI) ?C see News .
Seoul Optodevice claims to be the only company that has commercialized short-wavelength, deep-UV LEDs as of now.
