Development and future of ultraviolet light-emitting diodes: UV-LED will replace the UV lamp

Ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) have started replacing ultraviolet lamps. The power of UV-LEDs has greatly improved and the cost has decreased. In this paper, we attempt to understand the technologies and potential of UV-LEDs.
