Ultra-Bright LEDs Have Six Colors

Touted as the smallest SMD form factor on the market, a new ultra-bright LED gives designers a range of six colors. Dimensions for the TLMX1100 LED measure 1.6 mm x 0.8 mm with a low height profile of 0.6 mm. This size facilitates design of small-scale, high-power products. Typical applications include backlight keypads, navigation systems, consumer appliances, office equipment, medical instruments, displays for mobile phones, industrial control systems, automotive systems, and systems requiring miniaturized color effects. With luminous intensity ranging from 13 mcd to 80 mcd, the TLMX1100 LEDs achieve exceptional brightness in a footprint compatible with the industry standard SMD 0603 LED series. Available in super red, orange, yellow, green, pure green and blue, the series give designers greater flexibility in creating smaller, thinner and more robust systems. In addition to low power consumption and ESD withstand voltage up to 1 KV, all six LEDs ensure even lighting with a luminous intensity ratio of 1.6 or less per packing unit. The device’s angle of half intensity is 80°, providing a 160° viewing angle. Operating temperature ranges from –40°C to +100°C. Pricing ranges from $5.00 to $17.50 each/100.
