OSRAM Opto Semiconductors Announces Newest LED Solutions for ``Flash Light'' Applications: OSLUX and CERAMOS; Extreme-brightness LEDs Ideal for Mobile Phone and Camera Applications.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. -- OSRAM Opto Semiconductors Inc. today announced the newest members of its leading light-emitting diode (LED) product family: OSLUX(TM) and CERAMOS(TM) "super-bright" LEDs that are ideal for "flash light" applications in mobile communication devices such as phones and digital cameras. OSLUX has beam characteristics that are ideal for photo formats and homogeneous brightness right into the margins. CERAMOS can be combined with various lenses and offers great versatility for applications in which space is at a premium, as in mobile phones, and where high luminous intensity Luminous intensity The solid angular luminous flux density in a given direction from a light source. It may be considered as the luminous flux on a small surface normal to the given direction, divided by the solid angle (in steradians) which the surface is still needed. "OSRAM is delighted to announce these innovative advancements to our LED product portfolio," said Ellen Sizemore, North American North American named after North America.

"Both new solutions provide our customers with the desirable combination of extremely high levels of brightness with low power consumption, and their rapid flash frequencies enable even small mobile terminals to be suitable for short flash sequences or a complete series of pictures," she added. OSLUX The compact and efficient OSLUX boasts an aspherical a·spher·ic also a·spher·i·cal adj. Varying slightly from sphericity and having only slight aberration, as a lens. Adj. 1. lens and a luminous efficacy Luminous efficacy There are three ways this term can be used: (1) The luminous efficacy of a source of light is the quotient of the total luminous flux emitted divided by the total lamp power input. Light is visually evaluated radiant energy. of 48 lumens-per-watt (lm/W), providing homogeneous light right into the photo margins at a distance of one-to-three meters (m). Illumination is optimized for rectangular photos and, in a direct target area of 1.15 x .87 m, achieves more than 50 Lux (lx). With OSLUX, the superior thermal properties of the LEDs, combined with short switching times and high-output operation, enable rapid flash frequencies to be achieved with peak currents of 1500 mA. CERAMOS OSRAM's CERAMOS LED device can be combined with various proprietary and/or customer-specific lenses for greater flexibility. These applications include mobile phones, where both versatility and high luminous intensity is necessary. The lumen values correspond to those of the OSLUX, and the specific lens determines the Lux value. With low thermal resistance and short switching times, CERAMOS can handle higher than normal currents (1000 mA) and flash rapidly in succession. The two new LED products are based on a 1-millimeter2 (mm) chip using indium gallium nitride Indium gallium nitride (InGaN, InxGa1-xN) is a semiconductor material made of a mix of gallium nitride (GaN) and indium nitride (InN). It is a ternary group III/group V direct bandgap semiconductor. (ThinGaN(R)) technology, and can be operated either in pulse mode or with a constant current. The technology allows highest brightness levels at lowest operating voltage, is scalable and supports all wavelengths. Both new devices offer the advantages of OSRAM's surface-mount technology Surface mount technology (SMT) is a method for constructing electronic circuits in which the components (SMC, or Surface Mounted Components) are mounted directly onto the surface of printed circuit boards (PCBs). (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 ), enabling lower-profile, low-cost solutions to be produced. The SMT package allows the OSLUX and CERAMOS to be processed using standard automated placement and solder solder (sŏd`ər), metal alloy used in the molten state as a metallic binder. The type of solder to be used is determined by the metals to be united. Soft solders are commonly composed of lead and tin and have low melting points. Hard solders (i. techniques, reducing assembly costs. Both products operate at peak currents of 1500 milliamps (mA, OSLUX) and 1000 miliamps (mA, CERAMOS) respectively and can be handled in SMT solder processes at up to 260 C. Pricing and Availability Samples of both products are currently available. Both OSLUX and CERAMOS production quantities are scheduled for the third calendar quarter of 2006.
