Getting to Know LEDs, Applications and Solutions
Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are a reliable means of indication compared to light sources such as incandescent and neon lamps. LEDs are solid-state devices requiring little power and generating little heat
LED professional Symposium and Exhibition 2011 – Europe's foremost technology LED-event
The technology of Light Emitting Diodes (LED) is not new, but its application in lighting technologies is. With the development of high-efficiency and high-performance LEDs it has become possible to use LEDs in lighting and illumination. This kind of lighting technology has shown a very fast and interesting development. It is very flexible and consumes much less energy than conventional lighting systems do. A building's carbon footprint from ligh...
Vishay Expands Color Binning and Ordering Options for VLMW41XX Series of Sapphire-Based, Cool White SMD LEDs
To meet the need for color homogeneity in a wide variety of lighting applications, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.has announced that it has expanded the color binning and ordering options for its VLMW41XX series of sapphire-based, cool white SMD LEDs in the PLCC-2 package.
Infrared OSLON LED provides compact illumination for CMOS and CCD cameras
The new IR OSLON SFH 4715S from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors is the smallest infrared LED on the market with more than one watt of optical power. Measuring only 3.75 x 3.75 mm², it enables the development of exceptionally compact illumination units for CMOS and CCD cameras.
Semtech Brings Phase-Shifted LED Backlight Drive to the Panel for the First Time for Ultrabook and Ultra-Thin Notebooks
Semtech Corp. today launched the first device in its innovative platform of phase-shifted boost LED drivers. The new SC5010 is an 8-channel white LED driver with an innovative PWM phase-shift dimming control that uses very low-profile inductors, allowing LED drivers to be built directly into the LCD panel in Ultrabook PCs and ultra-mobile PCs (UMPC) for displays as thin as 4mm. It also enables ultra-thin LCD displays with longer battery life in t...
5 Watt MR1605WH-V2AN LED Lamp with driver From GlacialLight
GlacialLight have announced the MR1605WH-V2AN LED Lamp and GP-HS05N driver bundle, as part of the Mizar Series of LED lighting products. This high efficiency 5W LED lamp and driver are an ideal replacement for older, less-efficient light sources that use a GU5.3 bipin connector. The MR1605WH-V2AN LED lamp and GP-HS05N driver combo is a perfect choice for any location that can benefit from lower energy costs and more satisfied users. Its key advan...
MagnaChip Unveils 4-Channel LED Drivers Targeted for the Advanced Display and Television Market
MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation has launched a series of 4 channel LED drivers for use in LED monitors and LED-TV applications. These new device drivers from MagnaChip are designed to fit the back light unit structures of the latest LED monitors and televisions. Each channel has the equivalent of a 150mA/65V current balance MOSFET embedded in it that is capable of driving up to 20 LEDs in a 40W LED backlight unit.
CEA-Leti and NEOLUX Partner to Industrialize Third-generation Intelligent LED Systems
The three-year project, known as MODULED, will industrialize smart LED systems in France by simplifying functioning and assembly, reducing the mechanics and electronics of current LED systems, and incorporating the latest LED features. The project also will include establishing processes to allow the fabrication of next-generation LED modules while reducing the costs of acquisition for OEMs.
New LED in compact package doubles brightness for projection applications
OSRAM Opto Semiconductors has added another LED to its portfolio for projection applications. The new OSRAM OSTAR Compact 2x2 is the brightest LED of its type on the market. With twice the brightness in all colors and near record-breaking green values, this new version is an excellent addition to the existing versions of the OSTAR Compact series. Its high performance makes it ideal for high-power projectors for the commercial and domestic sectors...
LED driver reduces EMI in low cost lamps
Switching at a frequency of up to 1MHz and ensuring closely controlled rise and fall times, the AL8807 buck LED driver from Diodes Incorporated has been purpose designed to reduce EMI issues in the lower cost MR16 LED lamp market. To achieve required higher output powers, the driver can operate at input voltages between 6~30V and provide up to 8 series connected LEDs with a constant 1A current.
