The invention relates to a UV LED area source for an
offset printing press, which is a
semiconductor luminous device directly generating
ultraviolet light, and belongs to the field of
offset printing press printing. The UV LED area source is mainly characterized in that: high-power LED chips of which the luminous
wavelength is between 200 and 450nm are integrated in a certain ratio to form the area source or linear source with a certain
wavelength in a
wave band of which the peak
wavelength is between 200 and 450nm; the
emission spectrum of the
light source is matched with an absorption spectrum of a
photosensitizer in a sensitive glue material, namely the length of
waves emitted by the UV LED area source is concentrated at the periphery of the absorption wavelength of the
photosensitizer so as to effectively improve the
absorption rate and highly efficiently trigger the
photosensitizer in the sensitive glue; and under the action of the photosensitizer and the
ultraviolet light, the glue is combined with the photosensitizer so as to generate a
water insoluble solid matter. Because the area source or the linear source is the LED
semiconductor light source device, and compared with a supervoltage mercury lamp and a
Iodine gallium light, the area source or the linear source cannot cause
energy loss caused by
infrared light, has extreme low loss and not great temperature rise, avoids the temperature influencing printing materials, and is nontoxic and green; and the area source can be designed into any geometrical shapes such as a linear shape, a
surface shape and a three-dimensional shape as required in the
actual use. The UV LED area source has strong
usability and obvious economic benefit, industry innovation benefit and social benefit.
