What Lumens does

Lumens Co., Ltd. is a South Korea-based LED components company founded in April 2004 and listed on KOSDAQ (ticker 038060) since August 2006, headquartered in Yongin-si (Giheung-gu). The company develops, manufactures, and sells LED components across five product families: Micro LED displays (MLD, MPIX LED-on-Silicon, FLD flexible displays), Backlight Units (TV, mobile, home appliances), Lighting packages and modules (LED PKG, Ergon COB, AC Direct EggDrop modules), UV LED (UV-A and 260nm UV-C), and Automotive LEDs (White/Red/Yellow series with AEC-Q101 qualification). Its technology base rests on proprietary Flip-Chip processes — including the world's first Silver-Free Flip-Chip — COM (Chip on Module) architecture for Micro LED, AC Direct zero-flicker modules (SVM ≤0.05), and 1,200+ patents covering LED and AC driving technology.

The business operates as a B2B components supplier, selling LED parts directly to TV/monitor manufacturers, automotive lamp makers, home appliance OEMs, and lighting fixture manufacturers through wholly-owned subsidiaries in Korea, China, Vietnam, Slovakia, USA, Japan, and Germany. Lumens is ranked #2 globally in TV Backlight LED and among the Top 10 global LED companies. The company pursues vertical integration via minority-held subsidiaries covering LED epi/chip (Semiconlight), automotive modules (LEDLITEK), UV LED (Soft-EPI), CSP (CTLAB), and optical patterning (Hexa Solution). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, reflecting custom B2B engagement with enterprise customers. Reported financial trends through 2025 indicate revenue and EBITDA deterioration alongside operational stress at subsidiary LEDLitek, while a March 2026 ten-year license renewal with Edison Innovations (GE patents) signals continued strategic positioning for next-generation LED and miniLED applications.

Core offering

Lumens Co., Ltd. develops, manufactures, and sells LED components and modules — including Micro LED displays (MLD, MPIX, FLD), LED backlight units (BLU) for TVs/monitors/mobile devices/home appliances, LED lighting packages and COB modules, UV LEDs, and automotive-grade LEDs. The company sells these components to TV/monitor manufacturers, automotive lamp makers, home appliance producers, lighting fixture manufacturers, and large-format display makers worldwide through its own sales force and subsidiaries.

Product overview

Lumens is a global LED technology company offering a comprehensive portfolio of LED products across five main business segments: Micro LED (MLD, MPIX®, FLD), Backlight (TV, Mobile, Home Appliances), Lighting (LED PKG, Ergon COB, AC Modules including EggDrop, DLM, LNM), UV LED, and Automotive LEDs (White, Red, Yellow series). The company pioneered mass production of LCD TV LED BLU modules and is a world leader in flip-chip technology with its silver-free Ergon COB. Their Micro LED products use proprietary COM (Chip on Module) technology, while their AC Direct modules enable direct connection to AC power without DC converters. The product portfolio spans from LED components (packages) to complete modules and displays, serving applications from consumer electronics to automotive and industrial lighting.
