New LED Display Chips – more brightness, less power consumption

Date Announced: 24 Jan 2011

The optoelectronic business unit of Jenoptik´s Optical Systems division launches a new generation of LED display chips. These chips display numbers, letters and symbols on a minimal space. This information can be reflected into the optical beam path. A recognizable emission can already be reached at ca. 400nA with the emission color red (650 nm). The standard 7-segment chip has a digit-size of ca. 0.7 mm (see picture). For customized solutions the size of single segments is freely selectable.

In comparison to the previous generation the chips of the newly developed generation have a more than one hundred times higher luminous intensity. This leads to an enhanced brightness and contour sharpness, which improves the visibility in the application. Furthermore the power consumption of the new generation is drastically reduced to 1/100 and expands the battery lifetime in portable devices.

Fields of applications for LED display chips are, among others, battery-operated measuring instruments (laser measuring systems, binoculars), as well as medical and sports medicine devices (microscopy, reflection of information into glasses).
