Press Release Summary:
Surface-mount QTLP650D-RGB is top illuminating for back-lighting and status indication. Side-illuminating, right-angle QTLP614C-RGB is for edge lighting LCD displays. Low profile QTLP650D-RGB and QTLP614C-RGB lamps have heights of 1.1 and 1.5 mm, respectively. Lamps provide red, green, or blue color output, and can mix RGB light sources for multi-color output. They may be used with company's LED driver ICs for full range of color and brightness control.
Original Press Release:
Fairchild Offers a New Line of Low Profile, Compact RGB LED Lamps
Surface-Mount RGB LED Lamps Provide Full-Color Capability for Back-Lighting, Edge-Lighting and Status Indication in Portable Devices
San Jose, CA - June 5, 2003 - Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS) introduces the first two products in a new line of
full-color, surface-mount RGB LED lamps. The QTLP650D-RGB is a top-illuminating lamp in a 1210 package, ideal for
back-lighting and status indication. The QTLP614C-RGB is a side-illuminating, right-angle, LED lamp designed for edge
lighting LCD displays. The small size, high brightness, and wide viewing angle of the lamps make them ideal for use in mobile phones, personal digital assistants, and other portable applications.
In addition to providing red, green or blue color output, both the QTLP65OD-RGB and QTLP614C-RGB are capable of mixing the RGB light sources for multi-color output. The RGB LED lamps may be used in conjunction with complementary Fairchild LED driver ICs to give designers a full range of color and brightness control in portable electronic devices.
The QTLP65OD-RGB and QTLP614C-RGB are two of the most compact, full-color LED lamps available. The QTLP650D-RGB, housed in a 1210 surface-mount package, has a 3.2 x 2.7 mm footprint and 1.1 mm height. It features diffused optics and a 140° viewing angle to provide ample, uniform light over a wide viewing range. The QTLP614C-RGB is a right-angle LED with a 3.2 x 1.0 mm footprint and 1.5 mm height, water clear optics to optimize brightness, and a 160° viewing angle for edge lighting LCD displays.
Both the QTLP650D-RGB and QTLP614C-RGB use AlInGaP (for red) and InGaN (for green and blue) technologies for high brightness output. Typical luminous intensity for the QTLP65OD-RGB, measured in mcd, is 60 (red), 130 (green) and 40 (blue), and typical luminous intensity for the QTLP614C-RGB is 110 (red), 100 (green) and 40 (blue).The QTLP650D-RGB and QTLP614C-RGB are available in a 0.315 inch (8 mm) width tape on a 7 inch (178 mm) diameter reel in quantities of 2,000 unit per reel.
Price: US $1.00 (10,000 pcs)
Availability: Immediate delivery of volume production
The RGB LED lamps add to Fairchild's portfolio of products targeted at portable applications. These products include
audio amplifiers and bus switches, supervisory products such as temperature sensors and reset generator circuits and DC/DC
conversion products such as LDOs, DC/DC converters, and MOSFETs.
