OSRAM Opto Launches Brightest LEDs Ideal for Extremely Thin Displays

(Product News, 29 May 2008)

The new RGB MicroSIDELED from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors features an ultra-slim design and delivers high brightness for in-coupling into light guides designed for backlighting in space-sensitive applications.

Featuring three individual color chips, OSRAM's new RGB MicroSIDELED offers the highest color gamut in the industry, delivering more than 100 percent of NTSC on screen, depending on the used LCD. It is ideally suited for applications where extremely vivid colors are preferred such as mobile phones, laptops, navigation systems and microdisplays. It also features a high efficiency green delivering, 1cd at 20mA with a power efficiency of 50 lumens per watt.

The new RGB MicroSIDELED offers excellent thermal resistance as each chip has its own thermal contact lead. Additionally, the LEDs can be driven in series, allowing for greater flexibility in electrical design. Measuring only 5x1.4x0.6mm, the mercury-free and RoHS-compliant RGB MicroSIDELED is the ideal solution for any display where space constraints are a concern.
