RGB LEDs provide uniform luminance.
Press Release Summary:
SEPM Series provides range of high-power ALGaInP red, InGaN green, and blue LEDs that can be used in general lighting applications, amusement and gaming equipment, and for backlighting TFT displays. Each module combines 8 LEDs in 4 or 8 separate channels. RGB multi chip LED comes with heatsink incorporated on bottom of package that can be mated directly to any external radiator through PCB for heat conduction, allowing for dense placement of modules.
Original Press Release:
Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. Introduced New Series of RGB Multi Chip LEDs
Achieve a High Level of Light Continuity and Luminance Uniformity
Worcester, MA - February 29, 2008 - Allegro' announces a new series of RGB multi chip LEDs that provide a range of high-powered ALGaInP red, and InGaN green and blue LEDs that can be used in general lighting applications, amusement and gaming equipment, and for backlighting TFT displays. Each module combines eight LEDs in four or eight separate channels.
Modular design allows the SEPM devices to be easily assembled into string arrays by simply connecting the modules in series. The devices also provide superior color balance throughout the display because of the high density of LEDs that can be achieved. This also minimizes the distance that power and control lines must run between LED modules and from the LED modules to the control electronics.
The white resin compound is especially formulated for superior reflectance and transmittance of the generated light. Enhanced thermal dissipation is achieved through the incorporated heatsink on the bottom of the package. The heatsink can be mated directly to an external radiator through the PCB for superior heat conduction allowing dense placement of modules.
The leadframe is plated with silver, providing a highly-reflective surface for the bottom and sides of the emitting area. The terminals and heatsink are also silver-plated.
Allegro's new SEPM series of RGB LEDs is priced at $5.00 in quantities of 1,000 and has a 12 week typical lead-time to market.
