7-Segment LED Displays Offer Market-Leading Temperature Range

QuasarBrite High-Temperature SMD Seven-Segment LED Displays are compatible with standard drivers and are ideal for a wide range of applications that require performance in extreme heat conditions including:

* standard and commercial appliances (including displays on fryers, ovens, microwaves, and dishwashers);

* medical devices (including displays on portable and non-portable patient monitoring displays such as defibrillators, heart and pulse monitors, and sphygmomanometers);

* industrial control devices (including oil field and gas flow metering and drive control displays for heavy motor control technologies);

* military applications (including aircraft, ground vehicles, GPS and portable communication systems);

* telecom equipment applications (including displays on storage units, networks, switchboard units and routers).

Whereas standard seven-segment LED displays can operate at temperatures up to 85°C, the combination of proprietary epoxy and plastic used allows the new Lumex high-temperature technology to provide outstanding color and brightness performance at up to 105°C which is unique in the industry.

“The compatibility of the new seven segment displays with lead-free soldering allows engineers to benefit from an environmentally friendly and simplified design process.” explained Jeff Oliveros, Director of Engineering at Lumex. “Many brands are looking to eliminate all lead-based soldering for exposure-related safety issues. Additionally, most of the other components designers are using such as drivers, resistors and capacitors are all surface-mounted. Traditionally a secondary, soldering process was needed to add the through-hole seven segment displays. With the new surface-mount displays, this additional soldering process is no longer needed, generating significant time and cost savings.”

Standard QuasarBrite High-Temperature SMD Seven-Segment LED Displays are available in:
0.3 and 0.56 sizes
single or double digit layout
common anode or common cathode format
red or green

Custom technologies are also available in any color and with wide varieties in size, character height, thickness and shapes. Lumex´s team of Technical Design Specialists helps customers integrate the new QuasarBrite High-Temperature SMD Seven-Segment LED Displays with switches, resistors, IC driver chips, capacitors and other technologies required to create a complete interface board solution. This complimentary integration support generates cost savings, speeds time to market and reduces opportunity for product failure due to integration issues.

The RoHs compliant QuasarBrite High-Temperature SMD Seven-Segment LED Displays cost less than a dollar per in production quantities dependent on size and quantity ordered. Lead time is 6-8 weeks for standard technologies and 8-12 weeks for custom products.
