Robust LEDs for high-contrast displays

27 January 2016 Opto-Electronics

OSRAM Opto Semiconductors’ new DISPLIX LEDs not only withstand high humidity levels, wide fluctuations in temperature and even torrential rain, they also shine with excellent contrast even in direct sunlight and offer precise colour rendering even after a long operating time.

Combined with impressive brightness values, this makes them well suited for high-contrast displays in outdoor applications.

The LEDs are available as multichip RGB DISPLIX Black in a black package with a black reflector and DISPLIX Blackprint in a white package with black overprinting and white reflector; and as single-chip DISPLIX Oval yellow, red, true green and blue.

DISPLIX Black and Blackprint provide individual addressability of each colour and an improved fill factor thanks to their optimised reflector surface. They boast premium contrast thanks to the completely black housing, and premium intensity due to a classic black surface.

DISPLIX Oval parts ensure matched radiation characteristics of all colours, together with optimised smooth radiation. They exhibit excellent degradation behaviour and high intensity, as well as high contrast thanks to their completely black package.
