PointLED
A hidden treasure
PointLED is a perfect combination of advanced package and chip technologies and can be sunk completely in the printed circuit board.
With a diameter of just 2 mm, the new PointLED from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors is much smaller than the TOPLED but achieves the same luminous efficacy at 38 lm/W. The package is round and flat, measuring only 0.775 mm high, so this mini light source can be sunk completely in the printed circuit board. It is therefore ideal for applications in which space is at a premium.
PointLED is a perfect combination of advanced package and chip technologies. It is the smallest LED with an integrated reflector and is suitable for both surface mount technology (SMT) and zero height mounting. Its very small dimensions enable extremely low-profile backlighting to be achieved. The typical brightness of the white mini LED is currently 800 mcd at a beam angle of 120º. The high efficiency of the LED comes from the ThinGaN chip produced using OSRAM thin-film technology.
PointLED can be used as a universal light source in applications where space as tight, as backlighting for displays or in high-line brake lights. It will fit behind keypads on mobile phones and PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants). It can even be used for flash photography on mobile phones. LCD displays on any mobile equipment will benefit from this bright mini LED. Its high intensity and small volume will give designers enormous freedom and open up new avenues.
