Digital and Analog Power

Electronic equipment, can not be separated from the power supply. Relative to the rapid development of MCU and RF technology, power IC development is very slow, but also from the the early linear power dominant, dominant development to the analog switching power supply, to the emergence of the digital power rewritten power market pattern.

Digital and analog power in the market, competing prevails, the respective growth. Although analog power efficiency and cost, reliability has advantages, but the lack of flexibility. Embedded MCU digital power with a certain degree of flexibility, it not only maintains high efficiency analog switching power supply, at the same time not affect the stability of the system positive feedback from the principle of eradication instability factors affect reliability, thereby reducing the power supply design and manufacturing threshold. As digital power MCU digital feedback, easy to use digital algorithms to implement complex feedback op, laid the foundation so as to further improve the performance of the power. In addition, the digital power parameter adjustment is no longer dependent on the hardware, simply re-configuration of the software, thereby simplifying the production of power, and convenient to use. Of course the MCU join, the complexity of the power of self-diagnosis technology possible, also help to improve the reliability of the electronic components.

Microchip (Microchip) recently announced the launch of world's first digital enhanced power analog controller MCP19111. It MCU, analog controller and synchronous MOSFET driver integrated in a single-chip solution, not only reduces design complexity, reduce component count and smaller footprints at the same time enhance the flexibility, it can also be 4.5V to 32V wide voltage range work. , Flexibility significantly improved compared with the traditional analog technology-based solutions. In addition, it has more advanced features, such as two-way communication or custom code support. The client device in its own IP or custom power conversion algorithm. Usual digital power MCU + MOSFET driver + MOSFET combination. But the MCP19111 available, the digital power mode will be changed to the MCP19111 + MOSFET.

However, some problems still exist in the digital power technology to promote the process. Tang Xiaoquan industry experts pointed out that, relative to the linear power and analog switching power supply, digital power work itself requires power, who provides this power? How to provide? Current power industry, from technology to process only involved in hardware, but digital power analog and digital, hardware and software integration, how to solve the coordination of analog and digital hardware and software in the design and process?

Digital power as an emerging technology will gradually occupied the analog power market, but can not replace the analog supply, like analog switching power supply through 30 years of development, has replaced most of the applications of the linear power supply, linear power is still developing, still widely used, such as LDO.

Smart phones, tablet PCs, security industry, and automotive applications market is the fastest growing market, and there is a huge market space is still hidden in the future vacancies, so the market potential is still considerable, and this is in the period of development of the combination sensor The industry has brought more new development opportunities.

Security sensors development of a new dynamic

Sensors and detection technology has been widely development in the past year, while also showing a lot of new features and trends. Detection technology transfer gradually from indoor to outdoor, the electronic pulse fence, cable leak detectors perimeter devices emerge gradually replaced the traditional infrared shooting and other outdoor detection equipment. Security monitoring market for sensors market opportunity to explore most of the security industry products related to video surveillance, sound admission and immediate information included, but if a long time to open the device, it will involve the issue of storage capacity, the more time recording, you need the greater storage space.

To solve this problem, some products using infrared sensors and other equipment when start, saves space, and now the entry of the sensor will make the application of these devices is more reasonable, more scientific. The combined sensor is formed by different combinations of products in a single sensor package added accelerometers, gyroscopes or electronic compass, so that through the integration in each single package can be increased more applications, and as much as possible to save space and cost.

This sensor is more used in electronic components which price pressures or limited board space, mobile consumer electronics products such as mobile phones and tablet PCs in the next few years, the separation of the various sensor devices will be gradually integrated into the 6-axis inertial sensor measurement unit (IMU), become the dominant application form, will be more widely applied to mobile phone and tablet PC market.

The sensor industry development trend

In the sensor market, there will always continue to extend the application. Today, the development of the sensor space extended to security monitoring market. Because a lot of security surveillance products have a close relationship, and sensors, the sensors have many problems in the security industry have been a good solution. In the development during the period due to the security, and the security market in the future there is a lot of space, so also will bring a lot of opportunities for sensor manufacturer.

Sensor in the security industry contributed, for example, even if the inclusion of data such as video monitoring and voice recording, long recording time of storage devices, the greater the amount of storage needed on this issue, some security products to see infrared sensors for startup and other sensor, this sensor applications saves a lot of space, making the application of the device is more scientific.

Is very popular combination of sensors, is also very popular in the security, acceleration sensor in the sensor package, gyro or electronic compass formed by different combinations of products can increase more application functionality, integrated in a single package, and as much as possible to save the space and cost. Similar to the automotive industry, in order to reduce production costs, the combined sensor has become the first choice for many automobile production businesses.

White LED Road Lighting 2

White LED operation up to 20% energy form of photon radiation, and the remaining 80% of the energy is transformed into heat can make chips and phosphor coating heating. For low-power LEDs, the 80% of the input power of the heating effect does not rise too much so that the chip temperature, little effect of the LED luminous efficiency, life and operational state. But 0.5W or more high-power white LED, more than 80% of its power concentrated in a very small pn junction area, and will make the chip and phosphor coating substantial warming, which affects not only the luminous efficiency, but will also cause rapid light failure and shortened life expectancy.

50000 or 10-hour long-life judge is estimated monochromatic LED small power LED early stage of development, the power LED, the white light LED chip and phosphor baked at a high temperature for a long time, will make the life of a substantial decline. This is the poor design of the LED lighting engineering operation in three to four months after the sharp decline of the light enables designers often had to replace the light source.

The Ⅲ LED road lighting the the white LED huge investment and excessive publicity, to make this area part of the personnel sent to the high expectations of the white LED, white LED eager to push conventional functional lighting, a lot of personnel in this area and the direct promotion of road lighting, over the years the country completed the LED road lighting and LED photovoltaic road lighting model works dozens (authors examine the excessive road lighting using LED as the light source) and has made enough experience and lessons to be summarized. I think that this test should be a temporary slowdown, the conditions are ripe and then restart.

Road lighting the main light source in China and developed countries is still high pressure sodium lamp, a small number of metal halide lamps, the former 100-120lm / W luminous efficiency, color rendering index of only 20 or less, the luminous efficiency of the latter 80 ~ 100lm / W, color rendering index of 80 or so, taking into account the energy consumption of electrical accessories, such light source system light efficiency 75lm / W ~ 90lm / W between. The road lighting the lighting device is not high optical reflectance, and is often below 60%. About 40% of the use of such lamps direct light to the ground, and the remaining 60% of the light is fired at the ground require the approval of the lamps reflected. Rough estimate to remove a variety of loss does not exceed 76% total light utilization of conventional road lighting, and thereby estimate the ultimate effect of light is about 60lm / W to 70lm / W. In addition, due to unreasonable as well as high-pressure sodium lamp lighting design a special slender columnar luminous body caused by the uneven distribution of light for the dark area between the road centerline and two lights meet lighting standards, the design had to use more power, more high luminous flux of the light source to meet the dark area of ​​the illumination requirements, and thus more caused a waste of energy.

Based on the above, LED road lighting designers that the use of the LED directional radiation performance road lighting design, can significantly reduce energy waste, they believe that the white LED is more energy efficient than high pressure sodium lamps. They designed a number of use of high power LED (1W, 3W) road lighting program and made a model project. However, most of these model projects has not been carefully tested and certified. One lighting design is 120 1W white LED matrix distribution 200 × 250mm rectangular planar circuit board, board wiring, then the overall installed in conventional street lamps. This design is very unscientific, the program selected LED single light-emitting no more than 40lm estimated to 40lm theory, taking into account the the supporting electrical loss (10%) and 90% light utilization, light use of the actual system rate of less than 32 lm / W, 120 LED's total luminous flux approximately 4300lm. If the LED light emission angle of 120 °, press this design 4300lm of light will be the emission angle of 120 ° toward the bottom. Conceivable that such a design will enable ground light is very unevenly distributed between the middle of the street and the light poles completely dark. Did not consider them these facilities to take effective measures to cool the LED substrate, so the LED is concentrated in such a small space, more than 80 watts of power consumption the continued accumulation will make the chip temperature is too high, blocking pressure drop decreased the fat Blu-ray to the long direction of the drift, which will inevitably lead to a serious decline of its light efficiency. Investigated the outskirts of Beijing in a photovoltaic lighting model road (the total power of the light source to 105W) lamp illumination of only 3.5 lux, It is said that the previous two and a half, the completion of the project, the lamp illumination of 7 lux. Lamp diameter of 15 meters away from the place, there is no lighting effects. Those engineering samples in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, Guangdong, Guangdong Shunde somewhere, and somewhere in Shenzhen LED road lighting demonstration Street dimly lit, and the light source must be replaced every 3-5 months.

LED road lighting tests must be under the guidance of experts, after strict certification and design to implementation.

Guangdong enterprise specializing in LED road lighting engineering from access to the lessons, they take measures to make the 1W LED work in 0.5 ~ 0.6W or 3W LED design 1W use, so although the cost is high, light low efficiency, poor lighting effects, but basically solved the light fades and life issues.

Hot in view of China's white LED, developed specifically for the Chinese for road lighting white LED 1W LED front-end packaging materials designed for the specific structure of the convex lens, and the alleged use of such LED without a multinational twice, three times optical design can get a uniform illumination of the road, and easy to use. The company claims that such LED cold light efficiency 70lm / W, compared to 50lm / W in normal use.

Zhejiang, a company designed for road lighting, the integrated-type white LED, the plurality of blue LED chips assembled on the same substrate, using a specially designed larger convex lens for the output window, the coated phosphor in the inner wall of the output window, so that all the LED chips jointly excited the same phosphor coating. This modular LED light-emitting characteristics transformed similar with conventional spherical light source, is more convenient to use, but this structure LED substrate cooling problem persists.
Note that together the plurality of LED road lighting design, in addition to a sufficient luminous flux and a reasonable optical design in order to ensure reasonable light distribution and, more importantly, the heat problem. As mentioned above, approximately 80% of the energy consumption of the LED transformed into heat, high temperature semiconductor devices, if you can not heat generated instant guide to walk you will cause serious consequences.

Road with led lighting conditions are not yet mature, and both need to be LED light efficiency improvement and power increase, more remains to be effective LED cooling solution and measures to solve, of course, the more reasonable optical design is very important.

Of Ⅳ DOE's assessment of the effectiveness of commercial LED products (CALiPER)
LED luminous efficiency and life expectancy indicators, there is a big disagreement, one of the important reasons is that there is no uniform standards and test methods, such as the lighting industry has always been as parameters of the stable operation of the luminous flux output and optical efficiency, while LED industry in general to the initial (cold), the maximum luminous flux and luminous efficiency as the standard, there are many differences in the color rendering index measuring methods and standards of life standards and measurement methods are different, the data falls far short , the evaluation is also very different.

This problem is not only our country, in a foreign country is equally serious, the U.S. Department of Energy had discovered seven market product survey, they were carried out from December 2006 to September 2008, in 2008 alone on continuous January three spot checks were carried out in May and September, and was released in September of the assessment and reporting of the effectiveness of the "commercial LED products CALiPER (Commercially Available LED Product Evaluation & Reporting), they released the data and conclusions are negative in the detect 24 types of products, only two categories (ejection downlight) data and product specifications consistent few LED luminous efficiency of 62lm / W, an average of only 32lm / W the low lack 10lm / W, far from being able to achieve energy Star of the standard. Chaos and data exaggerated propaganda made a very harsh and negative conclusions, including the luminous efficiency, color temperature, color quality, light distribution, as well as the power factor of the lighting system. Optical efficiency, in particular, tend to exaggerate the propaganda they found 2 to 3 times higher than the general users do not understand this. The conclusion of the U.S. Department of Energy is required to establish uniform standards to regulate product quality and indicators, the above problems in our country is more prominent and important.

The Ⅴ conclusions LED is an excellent light source of the future, the specific luminescence mechanism to give it a range of features and characteristics. Because of its small luminous body, the density of the medium, the light emitting very concentrated, high brightness. Even if the power is very small, little luminous flux of LED also give the human eye in a clear, bright the correct optical signal, to indicate, show no superiority than with the theory, its application has an extremely broad in the display area, everywhere. Low-power color LED also decorative lighting and art lighting display unique features and charm, and the 2008 Beijing Olympics, give full play to the LED such functions.

The white LED is an outstanding member of the LED family has a lot of features and characteristics. One of the important purpose of the development of white LED is used to replace the conventional electric light sources such as incandescent, fluorescent, high intensity discharge lamps, etc., however it seems its development as expected rapid. Actual market white LED luminous efficiency of about 40lm / W, up more than 50lm / W for functional lighting, these parameters are to be increased. Even more important for the promotion of the white LED is a cheap and efficient development of the cooling system.

As is known, other than the addition to the LED, all the light emitting body of the light source are to work at high temperatures, a high temperature of several thousand degrees, is to ensure its efficient light-emitting conditions, but the temperature rise of the semiconductor light emitting device such as an LED, a light emitting center is extremely harmful, if this problem can not be solved, the LED light efficiency improvement, power increase is limited.

Small power white LED (1W and below) in a wide range of applications shows tremendous advantages, such as very widely in the small space for local lighting, garden lights, close small power flashlight, lamps and emergency lighting room for growth. White LED does not require, nor conditions and in high-power conventional lighting sources compete for road lighting market.

Not reflective objects, the wide open spaces around the road lighting indoor lighting, road lighting requirements of the luminous flux, which is most of the road lighting 250W 400W high luminous flux high pressure sodium reason, this lamp luminous flux 28000lm to 48000lm range terms 1W, 3W white LED replaces the requirement of the LEDs is too large, the high cost and difficulty of design, and the effect is difficult ideal. In recent years LED road lighting has made a lot of lessons to be white LED light efficiency is not high, life is not long, and I think that should be put off for road lighting with LED test, to be successfully developed higher efficiency, more power white LED and a cheap and efficient cooling system before advancing.

Road lighting consumption for huge energy has great potential to be tapped, the transformation imperative, Philips and Fudan University in cooperation recently, this a very useful study [5], they concluded that the ceramic metal halide lamps is a very good replacement products in the high-pressure sodium lamps.

White LED Road Lighting 1

LED the development so far, nearly 30-year history, has made great progress, and white LED calendar for more than ten years of rehearsals, the rapid development. LED came into being in the era of severe energy shortages, pollution, and has attracted significant attention. To ease the energy shortage, the mid-1990s, the Japanese government took the lead, following the U.S. government from the financial support of the country's technology and industry to promote the development of solid-state lighting. Our government (Ministry of Science and Technology, led by, including the Department of Energy, Economic and Trade Commission, Ministry of Information Industry, as well as local government) is also strongly supported and funded the research and development of LED and set up a National Semiconductor Industry Association advancing solid-state lighting (China termed 2010 white LED luminous efficiency can be increased to 100 lm / W for semiconductor lighting) plan, and expected , and can be used to a large number of alternative light efficiency of about 90 lm / W fluorescent lamps are widely used in the field of general lighting.

A large number of our businesses, investors, researchers and technical staff have to intervene in this situation, and the large-scale investment to develop LED R & D and production so far is estimated to have invested a total of RMB billions of dollars, in less than a decade achieved outstanding results, and the formation of large-scale industrial chain.

World especially LED white LED so emphasis on their underlying causes, this huge amount of energy consumption and the resulting energy shortages, rising prices, especially caused by the environment has become a very urgent task to make energy savings. A large part of the national energy consumption for lighting. In China and developed countries, electricity for lighting accounts for about total power generation capacity of 12 to 13%, which is a very substantial loss of energy. The light source is still used worldwide inefficient incandescent light source mainly from tapping the potential is very promising.

LED focuses many talents, brilliant achievements, some of the research department announced that they have developed LED reached 120lm / W or even 150 lm / W luminous efficiency under certain conditions. Thus most enterprises have also claimed the luminous efficiency of their product has reached 70lm / W, 90lm / W or higher, the light utilization than the radiation output of each LED optical radiation is directed, even ordinary light source alone directional reflection of the lamps lighting efficiency is higher, and therefore finds that LED is the best functional lighting source, and vigorously promoted to various areas of lighting, a few years ago has been declared the LED will largely replaced by compact fluorescent lamps in 2010, a large scale into the family lighting, and asserted that white LED is the best road illumination light source.

There is no doubt that after 20 years of development, the LED in the display area has been made entirely successful, without than with the theory and has become irreplaceable display devices. Fully display its features decorative lighting, made half of LED outstanding performance in the 2008 Olympic Games opening ceremony to shake the world. But must address the fact that greater limitations in terms of functional lighting white LED persists. China is already the world's largest LED production base and consumer market, LED application fields, but due to the restrictions of the current level of technology and performance, such devices are used for functional lighting is not to use their skills. So-called high power LED, currently on the market can find the most high-power devices, but 3W, even 10W devices in R & D to large-scale production, but for conventional lighting, especially the hundreds of watts of light sources used in road lighting single The granulocyte power err too small. White LED design a lighting project amount must be great, whether it is difficult to design or cost will be worth the wait.

Common evaluation Ⅱ LED light efficiency of LED high light efficiency and long life, and many manufacturers claim their products luminous efficiency of up to 90lm / W or higher, but these data are just some laboratory in the the test initial stage when the LED is still in the highest measured in the cold state data. The so-called 50,000 hours or 100,000 hours life just early estimate of the low-power color LED.

Its theoretical light efficiency can be estimated from the LED light-emitting mechanism. As known LED is the use of carrier recombination and light emission, all of its potential energy in the carrier recombination when transformed into light energy, its internal quantum efficiency of 100% of the purposes of this process alone. Carrier collision with the crystal lattice and the loss of energy in the medium when the composite contained the kinetic energy carried by the carrier, and the electricity is consumed to overcome the resistance of the external circuit are not converted into light. Taking into account the variety of additional energy, the actual carrier recombination within the quantum efficiency does not exceed 90%.

Photons generated when the carrier recombination, has a 50% chance for outgoing radiation, part of the 50% of the photons collide with the lattice and lattice absorption is converted into heat. Portion photon propagation in the different media at the interface will be reflected back to the original medium and is absorbed, addition, as the metal the omentum or transparent conductive film of the output window of the outer electrode also allow a portion of the photons reflected by absorption, these processes will reduce the LED quantum extraction rate, the extraction rate of 80% is located in this part of the photon quantum.

Of photons generated in the carrier recombination, a 50% chance of the incoming radiation, this part of the photons reach the underlying conductive film serves as a reflective mirror, a partially reflective converted to outward output optical photons in this section, however, the inwardly or outwardly The transmission during the collision with the crystal lattice and is partially absorbed, through different media interface will also be part of the reflected or refracted back to the original medium eventually be absorbed. Substrate mirror reflection efficiency and the above process limitations such inward radiation photons into the output light quantum extraction rate does not exceed 40%.

According to the above analysis can estimate the total LED electro-optical conversion efficiency of approximately 54%, which is the ideal case where the estimated result. Any omissions, any defects in the material in the manufacturing process will cause a decrease in the efficiency of energy conversion. Less than 5% of visible light conversion efficiency than incandescent, even compared with the current highest conversion efficiency of high-pressure sodium lamps, ceramic metal halide (electro-optical conversion efficiency of about 30%) is also very high, this is the LED very luring. person prospects reason.

As is known, the 1W energy is completely converted to 555nm wavelength of the yellow light produced when the light flux up to 683lm / W (683lm / W optical power equivalents) approximately 360lm / W, if all is converted to white. As estimated earlier in this article, in the ideal case 555nm yellow LEDs may reach up to about the highest luminous efficiency of 300lm / W, the above estimates are also far from being achieved. Reported the highest light efficiency LED actually only half of the ideal value, and in fact less than 1/4, this is what people On the LED there is great potential to be tapped on the high hopes reason.

The key is to improve the LED luminous efficiency to improve quantum extraction rate, which is to minimize the internal absorption of photons, this is slimline LED reasons. Highest luminous efficiency of ultra-thin (thickness of tens of nanometers) GaN LEDs under conductive film with a high reflective mirror membrane and the inner surface of the output window is made of rough structure, in order to reduce the photon inward reflection, however even so reported the highest light efficiency, but 150lm / W.

The above analysis is monochromatic LED is the monochromatic transformed into the white must then go through a quantum conversion, mostly by emission center wavelength of about 470nm blue LED excitation radiation spectrum center wavelength to 560nm broadband yellow phosphor, which made the blue-yellow mixed white LED, but this led lights efficiency will further reduce required. Photon efficiency can be estimated as follows:

If retained approximately 20% of the Blu-ray LED radiation output, with the remaining 80% of the Blu-ray excited yellow phosphor, in the best case, about 20% of the 80% of the Blu-ray photon absorption for phosphor, and the rest 80% transfer to the center wavelength of 560nm for broadband yellow radiation, this process resulted in an average of 16.1% of the quantum energy loss. Combine the previous data can be estimated that the total energy efficiency does not exceed 40%, and converted to white when the total light efficiency white LED white LED but up 150lm / W. If there is no other breakthroughs, this current white LED may be the highest light efficiency, this luminous efficiency HID lamps, high pressure sodium lamp or ceramic metal halide light sources, such as the current highest light efficiency is also high compared to some. Luminous efficiency has not yet actually achieved, and this half.

We have this experimental study, we use a company's production 1W high brightness blue LED, the center of the spectral radiation wavelength of 470nm see Fig.3 go except SMD LED Package were coated with different thickness of the center wavelength of the radiation is 560nm yellow phosphor coating, after treatment, to measure the emission spectrum thereof. Four typical case is selected from the 24 kinds of samples of different thickness, and its results are shown in Fig.4 a, b, c, d and Schedule. Lumen output in the best case (Fig.4 c) of 38lm (initial cold 50lm), color rendering index of 78.

A well-known multinational companies and technical personnel initial introduced their 1W white LED luminous efficiency reached 70lm / W, the normal operation of the pn junction temperature rise, 50lm / W luminous efficiency reduced.

The results obtained by the Japanese Institute of Materials Science, 2007 nano ceramic center is the highest, they used a center wavelength of 450nm InGaN blue LED and the photon conversion efficiency is high, and has a strong absorption peak at 450nm blue range, low temperature coefficient of the three kinds of phosphors test, the three phosphor were: α-sialon: Yb2 + α-sialon: Eu2 + and Sr2Si5, N8: Eu2 +. The characteristics of these phosphors is the luminous efficiency of the thermal decay is small, 85% of the initial value is still maintained at 150 ℃.

Made InGaN blue LED and phosphor white LED emission spectrum is shown as Fig.6, its luminous efficiency of 55lm / W, color temperature 4500K. This is the highest white LED luminous efficiency reports (I know, according to most of the testing domestic 1W white LED luminous flux 40lm below). No. 2 and No. 3, White LED emission spectrum is shown, such as mixed phosphor preproduction Fig.7, its color rendering index to 82, a color temperature of 4200K, the light efficiency is indeed reduced to 20lm / W.

As described above, the light emitting of the LED is on the load of the carriers (electrons) in the n-type semiconductor in the foreign potential role to overcome the electric potential of the barrier layer into the p-type semiconductor, and to generate a composite light-emitting hole-trapping. Usually the temperature coefficient of the semiconductor, its resistivity decreases as the temperature rises, the barrier potential will also drop to the bottom, at the same time the center wavelength of the radiation will be the longwave direction of drift the leaving luminous efficiency of the phosphor of the (redshift) decreased.

LED Chip Price Cuts

With the the sapphire capacity expansion, the price drop white led light bulbs last year prices have been in decline. Some experts expect the whole of 2012 the price of led bulbs will be decreased by 20% to 30% over 2011, which will give the corporate earnings tremendous pressure. The life of the LED industry: only through technological innovation, improve product cost, in order to ward off risks and enhance their competitiveness.

There is no doubt that, LED bulbs prices is beneficial to the development of the industry, which will accelerate the popularization of led lighting applications. However, the decline in prices, will bring a chain reaction of many aspects, such as the cost of doing business will be increasing pressure, profit margins will be smaller and smaller. Not only of upstream materials enterprises would be subject to cost and profit pressure, the whole industry chain, including chip companies, packaging companies, downstream fixture manufacturers will be subject to varying degrees of impact.

Price decline in the development of any industry will have to face the reality, which is conducive to the development of the industry, LED adverse, only the prices in order to expand the scope of applications to the LED into the tens of thousands of households . But for the production enterprises, the need to continue to develop new products, reduce manufacturing costs, enhance the rate of qualified products in response to the downward pressure on prices.

Recent price decline of LED bulbs do 5W (about 450lm), 8W (about 800lm) LED bulb overall than last year, a decrease of about 60%, the price of each link are, but for the lighting, the key per thousand lumens prices, improved chip performance, lower prices for LED bulbs played an important role, the last year for the led bulb 10 x 23 chip about 7lm, can now to 8 ~ 8.5lm same production 5W led bulb lamp, the original 65 to 70 chips, there are now 50 to 55 chips can meet the original brightness ; addition, 10 x 16 chip can reach 7lm So, if 10 x 16 chip instead of the original 10 x 23 chip can achieve the same brightness, Bulb price down naturally.

Upstream chip companies, of course, also faces the risk of price cuts, chip companies only continue to improve product performance, enhance lm / W value, so that you can meet the same brightness needs to reduce costs, improve product competitiveness.

LED chip price decline is an inevitable trend, the 2011 price cut in more than 40%, it is expected that the 2012 price cuts of 15% to 25%. The price decline is the trend of the times, as described above, to improve product performance, reduce production costs is the only way out of the upstream enterprises to respond to the price decline.

More enterprises will be to protect against the risk of the industry through technological innovation. The wave of Huaguang also innovative, the pursuit of technological progress, "reverse polarity red LED is the selection Innovation and Technology Award. In the chip sector enterprises such as Japan, Korea, Europe and the United States has a very strong strength, compared to the Chinese chip enterprises and foreign enterprises gap.

Red LED, reverse polarity, we developed a new product, used for lighting and display field, our technical level close to the international advanced level, can replace imported products, but also to break the monopoly of foreign products.

LED industry abroad earlier compared to the domestic development, and the overall technical level better than domestic enterprises. However, with the international technical exchanges and closer cooperation, more frequent flow of talent, the domestic technology level and international gap is gradually narrowing.

Some domestic production of red, yellow, light technology also has the shadow of our products and, therefore, has a unique understanding of the material system products and advantages. Also the earliest to do the reverse polarity red LED enterprises, the level of product technology walk in the forefront of the domestic counterparts, can replace imported products.

Reverse polarity red LED innovation is the use of chip process reversed, so that the production of the chip structure conducive to the light-emitting and improve the structure of the brightness. The LED epitaxial wafer set LED reflector technology, the coarsening process and the current expansion process in a greatly improved external quantum efficiency of the chip. In particular is the use of a unique current expansion technology, so that the external quantum efficiency of the chip increased by 10%. Chip PN junction down, allows for heat dissipation, improve the life of the chip.

High Power LED Cooling

Discussion and Prospect: High Power LED Package Cooling Technology

For a long time, the led heat requirements are not very high case, led more than traditional resin substrate and encapsulation. However, with the market expanding applications continuously improve the level of demand, the The traditional resin substrate after the arrival of the high-power led generations, has gradually inadequate. Therefore, to explore and prospect of high power led packaging materials, has become a hot topic of concern to the industry.

LED cooling principle studies have shown that high power led only 20% of the electrical energy into light energy, the rest will be lost in the form of heat. Up to 80% of the heat energy can not be lost, then led the life will be greatly reduced. led the heat exactly how lost it?

LED cooling capacity usually by encapsulation mode, and the thermal conductivity of the material of the package, the thermal path nor outside conduction, convection, and radiation of these three. As the heat led packaging materials accumulate in the conduction loss package material selection becomes particularly important.

Traditional media is unable to meet the high power led heat demand

With the the market growing number of high-power led applications appear, while considering how lost heat, but also on the stability and continuity of led light. If the heat energy of the LEDs can not be lost, as soon as possible so the brightness and lifetime will decrease rapidly. So, for high power led, traditional epoxy resin by its features are limited, no longer meet the cooling needs.

LED low power or power under conditions of use, the epoxy resin thermal conductivity is lower and the disadvantage of poor heat resistance have not yet been fully apparent. But use epoxy resin material as encapsulated high power led, is likely to appear before the led chip life has not been reached, the epoxy resin has been unsustainable.
In addition, not only the cooling phenomenon causes the epoxy resin changes, even the short wavelength also epoxy causing distress. This is because the white LED emission spectrum also includes the short wavelength light, while epoxy resins are susceptible to the short wavelength light in the white led destruction. Even low-power white led epoxy destruction can exacerbate, not to mention the issue of high power white led short-wavelength light more deteriorated naturally more rapid and severe. Thus, finding new material to replace epoxy encapsulated high power led imminent.

LED heat sink substrate type

At present, the common LED type of heat dissipation board comprising: a rigid printed circuit board, a high thermal conductivity aluminum plate, a ceramic substrate, a flexible printed circuit board, metal composites, and the like.

The rigid printed circuit board (printedcircuitboard; PCB) used for various electronic substrate, LED controller but can not afford the dissipated heat out of the high power led, so applications limited to the low power and the general power LED does not have to high-power LED The possibility of extending the application.

The high thermal conductivity aluminum plate (metalcorePCB; mcPCB) is the PCB below the base material instead of aluminum alloy, general, pure aluminum heat coefficient than aluminum, but because of the hardness of pure aluminum is not high cause difficulties in the use so only when making aluminum substrate material.

Ceramic substrate three, al2o3 (alumina), ltcc (low temperature co-fired ceramic), the aln (AIN). Technical standards alone, no doubt to aluminum nitride highest low temperature co-fired ceramic followed. Led substrate, produced by low-temperature co-fired ceramic heat better, and the high temperature, moisture resistance, etc., but its price is higher than the traditional board several times, until today is still not ideal for production of heat-type substrate material. Of course, if you do not consider the price factor, the ceramic substrate or a well-deserved first choice.

Flexible printed circuit board (fpc) ​​has the advantages of light weight, thin, flexible, flexible use of space, and the coefficient of thermal conductivity is superior to the traditional the the PCB substrate and mcPCB substrate and application area larger than the ceramic substrate. However, the technology is still at the experimental stage, the yield is low, and so could not be put into large-scale.

Metal substrate to become the preferred high-power led

Through the above comparison, the most cost-effective due to the metal substrate relative terms, so it has also become the preferred solution led high power conditions. With footsteps led chips, large-scale, high-current, high-power development, to replace the traditional metal package substrate resin package substrate will be faster.

The purpose of the high heat metal substrate material, can be divided into rigid and flexible two. The LED controller structure, the rigid substrate is a conventional metal material, using a metal such as aluminum, copper, high thermal conductivity of the insulating layer portion is mostly populated inorganics. This metal substrate has a high thermal conductivity, high heat resistance, as well as electromagnetic shielding, etc., and its thickness is usually greater than 1 mm, it is widely used in which the LED lighting module and the lighting module, and contribute significantly to the high power LEDs in the lights the promotion and popularization.

Flexible substrate promising

In general, the efficiency of the thermal conductivity of the metal package substrate about 2w / m • k. But because of the higher thermal requirements of high efficiency led, so in order to meet the efficiency of the thermal conductivity of the 4 ~ 6w / m • k, has the efficiency of the thermal conductivity more than 8w / m • k metal package substrate. The rigid metal packaging substrate to meet high power led package each package substrate manufacturers are actively developing the technology can improve the efficiency of the thermal conductivity.

However, the metal package substrate has the same great disadvantage of metal thermal expansion coefficient the the LED controller when welding with low thermal expansion coefficient of the ceramic chip vulnerable to the impact of thermal cycling, so when the aluminum nitride packaging, metal packaging substrate disharmony may occur, and is therefore necessary to overcome the difference of thermal stress between the led in a variety of different thermal expansion coefficient material, and to improve the reliability of the package substrate.

Flexible substrate appears precisely to solve the above problems. The highly thermally conductive flexible substrate, on the insulating layer-adhesive metal foil, Although the basic structure of the conventional flexible substrate are identical, but in the insulating layer, LED controller is the soft epoxy resin filled with thermally conductive inorganic substance and therefore has a high thermal conductivity of 8w / m? k, and also both the advantages of the soft, flexible and high reliability. In addition, the flexible substrate is also in accordance with customer demand, single-sided single-layer board design into a single-sided double-layer, double-sided double-layer board. According to the experimental results show that the use of high thermal conductivity flexible substrate led temperature can be reduced by approximately 100 degrees Celsius, which can greatly improve the service life of the led.

The surface acoustic wave, a kind of ultrasonic waves in the medium (such as a rigid material such as glass or metal) the surface shallow dissemination mechanical energy waves. Through the wedge-shaped triangular base (according to the wavelength of the SAW strict design) orientation, can be done, a small angle of the surface acoustic wave energy emission. Surface acoustic wave stable performance, easy to analyze, and very sharp frequency characteristics in the shear wave transfer process in recent years, application development soon in NDT, contrast and retire wave direction, surface acoustic wave theory research, semiconductor materials, sound guide material detection technology is already quite mature. The surface acoustic wave touch screen, the touch screen panel part may be a plane, a spherical or cylindrical glass plates, and is installed in front of the screen of the CRT, LED, LCD or plasma display. Glass screen of the upper left and lower right corners of the respective fixed vertical and horizontal directions of the ultrasonic transmitter transducer, upper right is fixed to the two respective ultrasonic receiving transducer. Glass screen four surrounding engraved with an angle of 45 ° from sparse to dense interval precision reflective stripes.


4.2 Surface acoustic wave touch screen works

In the lower right corner of the X-axis transmitting transducer for example: transmitting transducer converts an electric signal sent by the controller through the touch screen cable acoustic energy is converted to pass the left side surface, and then by a group of precision of the glass sheet below the reflective stripes reflected acoustic energy into the pass upward uniform surface acoustic wave energy through the surface of the screen body, and then from the top of the reflective stripes gather into the right of the line to propagate to the X-axis receiving transducer, the receiver will return to the surface acoustic wave transducer energy


Into electrical signals. Emitting a narrow pulse when the transmitting transducer, the acoustic energy after a different way to reach the receiving transducer, and take the right-most earliest arrival go leftmost latest arrival, arrives early and the late reaching these acoustic energy superimposed into a wide waveform signal, it is easy to be seen, the received signal a collection of all the length of different paths in the X-axis direction, after the return of acoustic energy, and they traveled in the Y-axis is the same, but in the X axis, the farthest ratio The recent go twice the X-axis maximum distance. Therefore the time axis of the waveform signal that reflects a position before the superimposition of the original waveform, that is, X-axis coordinate. The transmission signal and the received signal waveform in the absence of touch, the waveform with the reference waveform of the received signal is completely the same. When a finger or other objects capable of absorbing or blocking of acoustic energy, the screen is touched, the finger portion go up in the X-axis via acoustic energy is partially absorbed, reaction in the received waveform, i.e. a certain time position of the waveform on an attenuation notch. Corresponding to the reception waveform the finger blocking parts of the signal attenuated by a notch, to calculate the notch position of a touch coordinate controller analyzes the attenuation of the reception signal by the position of the gap determine the X coordinate. After the Y-axis of the same process determines that the Y coordinate of the touch point. In addition to the touch screen can generally response of X, Y coordinates, the surface acoustic wave touch screen is also responsive to the third axis Z-axis coordinate, and that is able to sense the user’s touch pressure size value. Its principle is obtained by the attenuation of the received signal at the attenuation amount calculation. Once identified, triaxial them to the host controller.


4.3 Surface acoustic wave touch screen features

High clarity, and good transmittance. A high degree of durability, good scratch resistance (with respect to the resistance, capacitance, etc. surface degrees membrane). Responsive. Independent of temperature, humidity and other environmental factors, high resolution, long life (50 million maintaining good case); high transmittance (92%) to maintain the a clear translucent image quality; no drift, simply install time correction; third axis (ie, pressure shaft) response, use more in public places. Surface acoustic wave screen requires regular maintenance, dust, oil or even of beverage liquid contamination in the screen surface, are blocking the touch screen surface wave guide groove, so that the wave does not launch, or change the controller can not properly identify the waveform, thus affecting the normal use of the touch screen, users need to pay strict attention to sanitation. Must often wipe the surface of the screen to keep the screen clean, regular and complete erasure.


Surface acoustic wave screen

Three corners of the acoustic screen paste with the X, Y direction of the transmitting and receiving the acoustic wave transducer (transducer: is made of a special ceramic material and is divided into the transmitting transducer and the receiving transducer. Is to control transforming an electrical signal sent through the touch screen cable as acoustic wave energy into an electrical signal and converging to a surface acoustic wave by a reflective stripes), the four sides of the ultrasonic wave reflected by the reflective surface streaks engraved. Touch screen when a finger or soft objects, some of the acoustic energy is absorbed, and then changes the received signal, after the processing of the controller to obtain a touch X, Y coordinates.


Four-wire resistive screen

Four-wire resistive touch screen surface protection between the coating and the grass-roots covered with two layers of transparent conductive layer of ITO (ITO: indium oxide, weak electrical conductors, characteristic thickness down to 1800 angstroms (angstrom = 10-10 m) suddenly becomes transparent, and then thin down transmittance rate decreased, the transmittance increased to 300 angstroms thickness. all screen resistance and capacitance of the main material of the screen.), the two layers respectively correspond to the X, Y axis, which door between subtle transparent insulating particles insulation, the pressure generated when touched so that the two conductive layers is turned on, due to the change in resistance value obtained by the X, Y coordinates of the touch.


Five-wire resistive screen

Covered with a top five-wire resistive touch screen grassroots X, Y direction of the voltage field added with a layer of transparent conductive layer ITO, the outermost layer of nickel deposit conductive layer (nickel deposit conductive layer: the outer layer of the five-wire resistive touch screen conductive layer is good ductility nickel deposit coating materials, conductive outer layer due to the frequent touch, good ductility nickel deposit in order to extend the service life.) only used as a pure conductor, when touched, with sub- when detecting the contact point of the method of the X-axis and Y-axis voltage values measured at the location of the touch point. The inner ITO need four leads and an outer layer, a total of five lead.


Capacitive screen

The capacitive screen surface is coated with a transparent conductive layer ITO, voltage is connected to the four corners, slight the DC bulk Ministry screen surface to form a uniform of the electric field, hand touch screen supplier, the human body as a coupling capacitor pole, current pooled from the screen four corners form a coupling capacitor other a pole, the relative distance of the calculated current to the touch position by the controller to obtain the coordinates of the touch.


Infrared screen

Types of Touch Screen - 1

The touch screen by the touch detection means, and the touch screen controller; touch detecting member is mounted in front of the monitor screen, for detecting a user touch position, the accepted evacuation touch screen controller; the touch screen controller’s main role is to receive a touch from the touch point detecting means information, and convert it into contact coordinates, and then sent to the CPU, it is also capable of receiving commands issued by the CPU and to implement them.

A main types on a touch screen.
The touch screen works and information transmission medium, the touch screen is divided into four, namely resistive, capacitive sensors, infrared and surface acoustic wave. Each type of touch screen has its own advantages and disadvantages, to understand the kind of touch screen suitable for the kind of occasion, the key is to understand the working principle and characteristics of each type of touch screen technology . Following a brief description of the above-mentioned types of touch screen:

1. Resistive touch screen
This touch screen using the pressure sensors to control. A main part of the resistive touch screen is a display surface with the resistive films screen, which is a multilayer composite film, it is a layer of glass or hard plastic plate as a base, the surface coated with a layer of transparent metal (oxide transparent conductive resistance) conductive layer, above and then covered with a layer of outer surface hardening treatment, smooth plastic layer anti-rub, and its inner surface is also coated with a coating layer, and between them there are many of the small (less than 1/1000 inch) transparent separation point two conductive layers separated by insulation. When fingers touch the screen, the two conductive layers in the location of the touch point there the contact resistance changes, generating a signal in both X and Y directions, and then sent to the touch screen controller. The controller detects this contact, and calculate the position of the (X, Y), and then operates in accordance with the manner of the simulated mouse. This is the most basic principle of the resistive touch screen technology. Resistance class touch screen lies in materials science and technology, commonly used in transparent conductive coating material:

A, ITO, indium oxide, weakly conductive body characteristics are when the thickness is reduced to 1800 angstroms (Å = 10-10 m) or less, will suddenly become transparent, the light transmittance was 80%, and then thin down transmittance but decline, rising again to a thickness of 300 angstroms to 80 percent. ITO is all resistance technology touchscreen capacitive technology touch screen are the main material used in the face of resistance and capacitance touch screen technology is actually ITO coating.

Nickel gold coating, five-wire resistive touch screen of the outer conductive layer is good ductility nickel deposit coating materials, conductive outer layer due to the frequent touch, use a good ductility nickel deposit materials in order to extend the service life , but the technology costs more expensive. Nickel deposit conductive layer scalability, but only for a transparent conductor, is not suitable as the face of resistance touch screen, because it is high conductivity, and the metal is not easy to do very uniform thickness, suitable for voltage distribution layer, only as a probe layer.

1.1 Four-wire resistive touch screen
The two layers of the four-wire resistive analog technology transparent metal layer when each layer increase 5V constant voltage: a vertical direction, a horizontal direction. Need a total of four cables. Features: high-resolution, high-speed transfer reaction. Processing of surface hardness, reduce abrasion, scratching and anti-chemical treatment. With glossy and matte processing. Time correction, high stability, and never drift.

1.2 Five-wire resistive touch screen
The grassroots of the five-wire resistive touch screen panel technology to both directions of the voltage field through precision resistor networks are added to the conductive surface of the glass, we can easily understand the staggered working voltage field in both directions on the same work surface while the outer layer of nickel and gold conductive layer only just be used as a pure conductor, with a touch detecting a voltage value of the X-axis and Y-axis of the contact point of the inner ITO measured touch point position after timesharing.

The five-wire resistive touch screen inner ITO need four leads, the outer layer only for just a conductor, of the touch screen pinout total of five. Features: high-resolution, high-speed response. High surface hardness, reduce abrasion, scratch and anti-chemical treatment. The same point contact 30 million fair use. The conductive glass as the dielectric of the substrate. Time correction, high stability, and never drift. The five-wire resistive touch screen high-priced and high environmental requirements shortcomings

1.3 Resistive screen limitations
Whether it is a four-wire resistive touch screen or five-wire resistive touch screen, which is a kind of working environment completely isolated from the outside world, afraid of dust and water vapor, it can use any object to touch, can be used to draw and write, more suitable for the field of industrial control and limited office use. The resistive touch screen is a common drawback is the use of plastic material as the outer layer of the composite film, people do not know too hard may scratch the touch screen or use a sharp touch scrapped as a result. However, within limits, will only scratch injured outside the conductive layer and the outer conductive layer of scratch for five-wire resistive touch screen, four-wire resistive touch screen is fatal.

2. Capacitive touch screen
2.1 Capacitive touch screen technology
The current sense of the human body work. Capacitive touch screen is a four-story the composite glass screen, the inner surface of the glass screen and mezzanine each coated with a layer of ITO, the outermost protective layer of a thin layer of silica glass, laminated ITO coating as a face, the four corners leads to the four electrodes, the inner shield for the ITO in order to ensure a good working environment. When the finger touch on the metal layer, since the human field, the user, and the touch-screen surface is formed of a capacitive coupling, for a high-frequency current, the capacitor is the conductor directly, so fingers away from the contact point a small current. Current outflow from the electrodes on the four corners of the touch screen manufacturer, and current flows through four electrodes with fingers to proportional to the square of the distance, the controller through the accurate calculation of the four current ratio, come to the position of the touch point .

2.2 Capacitive touch screen defects
Transmittance and clarity of the capacitive touch screen is better than a four-wire resistive screen, of course, can not be compared and surface acoustic wave screen and five-wire resistive screen. Capacitive screen reflective serious, and a four-layer composite of the capacitive technology touch screen on the transmittance of light of each wavelength is uneven, there is the problem of color distortion, due to light reflection between the layers, also caused image characters blur. Capacitive screen in principle on the human body as an electrode using a capacitor element, when the conductor close to the coupling between the laminated ITO face sufficient amount of capacitance values, the current flow away enough to cause the capacitive screen malfunction . We know, although the capacitance value inversely with the inter-electrode distance, but it is proportional to the opposing area, and also related to the insulation coefficient of the medium. Therefore, when a larger area of the palm or handheld conductor was close to the capacitive screen rather than touch can cause a malfunction of the capacitive screen, in wet weather, this situation is particularly serious, hands held onto the monitor, the palm near the display 7 cm within or without the body near the display less than 15 cm can be caused by capacitive screen malfunction. Another disadvantage of the capacitive screen with a gloved hand or handheld no response when the touch of the non-conductive objects, this is because of the increased more insulating medium. The capacitive screen major drawback is the drift: When the ambient temperature, humidity changes, the environment field is changed, will cause the drift of the capacitive touch panel, resulting in inaccurate. For example: boot monitor temperature rise will cause drift: the user touches the screen while the other hand, or on one side of the body near the display will drift; drift back large objects moving near the capacitive touch screen when you touch someone come around to watch also congenital deficiency will cause drift; capacitive screen drift reasons are technical, environmental potential surface (including the user’s body) with capacitive touch screen from distant than finger multi area, they have a direct impact on the touch location determination . In addition, in theory, many should be a linear relationship between the actually is nonlinear, such as: the total amount of current body weight, or a different degree of wet fingers sucked is different, and the total amount of current change and the four stars current amount changes in the non-linear relationship, the capacitive touch screen with this custom of the four corners of the polar coordinate system is not yet on the origin of the coordinate, the controller can not detect drift and recovery and the completion of the four A / D, the value of the four sub-flows to the touch point on a Cartesian coordinate system X, Y-coordinate value of the calculation process is complex.

The absence of the origin, the drift of the capacitive screen is cumulative, at the job site often need calibration. The capacitive touchscreen outermost protection of silica glass scratch resistant good, but afraid of nails or hard objects knocking, knocked a hole in it will hurt the mezzanine of ITO, whether it is hurt laminated ITO hurt during transport or install the inner surface of the ITO layer capacitance screen can not work properly.

3. Infrared touch screen
Infrared touch screen is the use of the X, Y direction clouds infrared matrix to detect and locate a user’s touch. A circuit board frame infrared touch screen installed in the front of the display board in the screen edges arrangement of infrared emission tube and infrared receiver tube, one-to-one correspondence to the formation of the horizontal and vertical cross the infrared matrix. User when the touch screen, the fingers will be blocked if they had been the location of two infrared, which can determine the position of the touch points on the screen. Any touch object can change the contact infrared touch screen operation. The earlier conceptual, infrared touch screen is low-resolution, touch restricted and vulnerable to environmental interference and malfunction of technical limitations, thus once fade out over the market. After second-generation infrared screen a partial solution to the problem of resistance to light interference, and the third and fourth generation also improved to enhance the resolution and stable performance on key indicators or performance, but did not have a qualitative leap. However, people know about touch screen technology, infrared touch screen is not current, voltage and electrostatic interference, suitable for harsh environmental conditions, infrared technology is the ultimate touch screen products trends. Acoustics and materials science technology touch screen has its insurmountable barrier, such as a single sensor is damaged, aging, touch interface afraid contaminated destructive use, maintenance of complicated problems. Infrared touch screen as long as real to achieve high stability and high resolution, and will replace other technology products into the mainstream of the touch-screen market. The past infrared touch screen resolution is determined by the infrared on the number of tubes in the framework, so the lower resolution, the major domestic products on the market for 32×32, 40X32, in addition to the infrared screen is more sensitive to light environmental factors, illumination changes. large misjudgment or even crash. The weaknesses of the domestic dealer sales promotion of these is the foreign non infrared touch screen Infrared screen. The latest technologies of the fifth generation of infrared screen resolution depends on the infrared tube on the number of scan frequency, and the difference algorithm, a resolution has been reached 1000X720, As the instability of the infrared screen light conditions, from the second-generation infrared touch screen had better overcome resistance to light interference this vulnerability. Fifth-generation infrared touch screen is a whole new generation of smart technology products, it is 1000 * 720 high resolution, multi-level self-regulation and self-recovery hardware adaptability and highly intelligent discriminant recognition, can be a long time in a variety of harsh environments under the arbitrary use. Extensions and can be customized for the user, such as network control, acoustic sensing, human proximity sensing, user software encryption protection, infrared data transmission. Original media campaign infrared touch screen another main drawback uprising sexual difference, In fact, the infrared screen can choice any customer that satisfied riot glass and will not increase too much cost and impact of using performance, other touch screen that can not follow the example of the.

E-motors and its varieties

Uses of electric motor are quite common today. It is used almost everywhere around, including computers used in home, offices and study centers, in which electric motors are used in fans, disk drives, DVD player and CD-ROM player. Apart from this, they are used in ceiling fans, washing machines and many other places, but not common motors are used everywhere. For every application there is certain type of electric motor. It can be broadly classified into three basic types:

AC (Alternate Current) motors: These motors are named so because they run on alternate current. These kinds of motors are further subdivided into two power modes. i.e. single phase and three phase motors. Single phase motors are used for home based application where single phase AC electricity is supplied. Similarly, three phase motors are used for commercial purposes, like in factories and industries where three phase electricity is supplied.

Direct Current motors: Again DC motors are named after the mode of electric current they use. Some of its examples include, brush motors, brushless motors and stepper motors.

Among all the types brush electric motor is the most commonly used motor for different applications because of the ease it is build up and cost effectiveness. But it too has a drawback and i.e. they use carbon brushes to transfer electric current to the rotating part, these brushes wear after regular use and eventually results into the breakdown of the electric motor.

Brushless mechanism though eliminates the brushes, but this raises its price and need of more complicated drive electronics for its operation.

Stepper motors basically fall into the category of brushless motors which is employed basically in automation system. It is special because this system is specially designed to that enables a computerized control system to "step" the motor rotation. This mechanism is largely used to execute computer based programmed applications, say robotic arms.

Universal Motors: These motors are likely to have many features common in DC electric motor, especially brush electric motors. Universal motors are also called series-wound motors and are largely used in household appliances particularly in those which run fast for short period of time. For instance, food processors, blenders, vacuum cleaners, etc.

These are not just the only that differentiates electric motor. It also varies on the basis of their speed rating, size and power. Here, speed specifies rotation per minute (RPM) at no load condition. When motor is loaded the speed gets slowed down. Hence, each motor is designed keeping the type of application and weight to be loaded in consideration so that their speed can be set. Similarly, its power is determined by the horsepower it is featured with. Size of the motor on the other hand is chosen as per the type of area, like large motors are used in large scale workshops where heavy work is carried out. Hence, electric motor varies drastically in their ability and mechanism.
