Avago Technologies Introduces Industry's First High-Brightness Tri-color Surface Mount LEDs for Indoor and Outdoor Color Signs.New Multi-chip RGB (Red Green Blue) The computer's native color space, which is the color system for capturing and displaying images. RGB was derived from our own perception of color because human eyes are sensitive to red, green and blue (see trichromaticity). PLCC-4 Package Increases Resolution and Contrast in Large Full Color and Variable Message Signs SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- Avago Technologies Avago Technologies is an American company which was earlier the semiconductor products division of HP and later Agilent Technologies, before being spun off into a distinct legal entity. It holds more than 2,000 patents. , a leading supplier of innovative semiconductor solutions for advanced communications, industrial and commercial applications, today announced a new series of high-brightness surface mount (SMT (1) (Surface Mount Technology) See surface mount. (2) (Station ManagemenT) An FDDI network management protocol that provides direct management. Only one node requires the software. SMT - Station Management ) tri-color light emitting diodes (LEDs) that will enable designers to develop large indoor and outdoor electronic displays that provide sharper and more vivid images and graphics. This new series of high-brightness RGB LEDs from Avago are available in standard PLCC-4 packaging and have been specifically designed to operate in extreme outdoor conditions. Avago's new ASMT-QTB2 series of high-brightness AllnGaP and InGaN tri-color LEDs, which are made from an enhanced silicone resin Noun 1. silicone resin - a polymeric silicone compound plastic - generic name for certain synthetic or semisynthetic materials that can be molded or extruded into objects or films or filaments or used for making e.g. coatings and adhesives material, provide high reliability, long life and significantly less color degradation over time. Moreover, the ASMT-QTB2 series offers a super wide viewing angle of 120-degrees to improve visibility of large outdoor displays in bright sunlight. Typical applications for Avago's new high-brightness ASMT-QTB2 RGB LEDs include stadium scoreboards, billboards, marquee signs, and electronic variable messages signs. In addition to the high brightness, long life and compact size, Avago's ASMT-QTB2 SMT LEDs provide two significant advantages in the production environment: They can be easily soldered using conventional surface mount techniques to minimize production costs, and the package is qualified to a Joint Electronic Device Engineering Council See JEDEC. (JEDEC The division of the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) that deals with semiconductor standards (officially, the JEDEC Solid State Technology Association of EIA). JEDEC was formed in 1958 when the Joint Electron Tube Engineering Council (JETEC) split into two Joint Electron Device ) moisture sensitive level (MSL See multiple single-level. ) rating of 2a. For manufacturers, this rating means that these LEDs can be kept in the open air (30 degrees C, 60 percent relative humidity relative humidity n. The ratio of the amount of water vapor in the air at a specific temperature to the maximum amount that the air could hold at that temperature, expressed as a percentage. ) for up to four weeks after being removed from its sealed package without the need to remove absorbed moisture. The InGaN and AllnGaP technology incorporated in Avago's ASMT-QTB2 LED package offers low thermal resistance, which allows more efficient heat transfer from the package to the motherboard thereby maintaining long-term device reliability. Moreover, it is compatible with standard surface mount technology reflow soldering Reflow soldering is the most common means to attach a surface mounted component to a circuit board, and typically consists of applying solder paste, positioning the devices, and reflowing the solder in a conveyorized oven. processes. With a robust MSL 2a moisture sensitivity rating, customers will have greater flexibility during assembly of their products.
