OSRAM Opto Semiconductors Announces OSTAR Headlamp.Automotive LED Forward Lighting Moves From Concept to Reality 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, a leader in light-emitting diode (LED) technology, announced today the launch of its new OSTAR OSTAR Ontario Small Town and Rural Program OSTAR Observer Singlehanded Trans-Atlantic Race (sponsored by UK newspaper Observer) OSTAR Order and Shipping Time Analysis Report [R] Headlamp. With the launch of the OSTAR Headlamp, and the upcoming launch of OSTAR Headlamp Hot Spot, OSRAM Opto Semiconductors will target vehicle forward lighting applications based on both reflector reflector: see telescope. and projector systems. Systems designed with OSTAR Headlamps produce bright, white light and are ideal for applications such as high and low beam low beam n. The beam of a vehicle's headlight that provides short-range illumination. Noun 1. low beam - the beam of a car's headlights that provides illumination for a short distance headlights, fog lights, daytime running lights and Adaptive Front lighting Systems (AFS A distributed file system for large, widely dispersed Unix and Windows networks from Transarc Corporation, now part of IBM. It is noted for its ease of administration and expandability and stems from Carnegie-Mellon's Andrew File System. AFS - Andrew File System ). "LEDs provide concentrated light from a small emitting area, and are therefore ideal for use in vehicle headlights," Ellen Sizemore, director, LED/IR Marketing, OSRAM Opto Semiconductors Inc., said. "LEDs will revolutionize automotive forward lighting, and provide designers untold freedom and limitless design possibilities," she added. The new high-power light sources are equipped with five large ThinGaN[R] chips. The proprietary ThinGaN architecture generates the high brightness and illuminance illuminance: see photometry. Illuminance A term expressing the density of luminous flux incident on a surface. This word has been proposed by the Colorimetry Committee of the Optical Society of America to replace the term illumination. required to meet both Halogen halogen (hăl`əjĕn) [Gr.,=salt-bearing], any of the chemically active elements found in Group 17 of the periodic table; the name applies especially to fluorine (symbol F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), and iodine (I). and HID performance. Direct access to the LED chips maximizes optical coupling efficiency. Available without primary optics, OSTAR Headlamp is ideal for use in reflector-based systems. For projector-based systems, OSTAR Headlamp Hotspot will include a primary optic to focus the light. Customer-specific lenses can be precisely mounted to the OSTAR to enable a limitless range of designs. OSTAR Headlamp's unique packaging simplifies LED forward lighting integration. Precise mounting of the LED chips minimizes tolerance stack up and the low thermal resistance ceramic carrier maximizes brightness and lifetime at under hood temperatures. The integral connector and mounting holes enable a solder-free installation into the vehicle headlamp package. OSTAR Headlamps will also meet the automotive AEC-Q101 standard. Robust, vibration-proof and moisture-resistant, these light sources generate white light in the ECE ECE Electrical and Computer Engineering ECE Economic Commission for Europe ECE Ecole Centrale d'Electronique (France) ECE Educational Credential Evaluators Inc ECE East Central Europe ECE Endothelin Converting Enzyme and SAE standard color range. OSTAR Headlamp and OSTAR Headlamp Hot Spot generate white light, closer to the color of natural daylight than other headlight sources. Whiter light can help increase visibility, provide better roadside viewing and improved reaction time resulting in an overall safer driving experience. About OSRAM Opto Semiconductors OSRAM Opto Semiconductors is a wholly owned subsidiary Wholly Owned Subsidiary A subsidiary whose parent company owns 100% of its common stock. Notes: In other words, the parent company owns the company outright and there are no minority owners. of OSRAM, one of the world's two leading lighting manufacturers. It offers its customers solutions based on semiconductor technology for lighting, sensor and visualization applications. The company operates sites in Regensburg (Germany), San Jose (USA) and Penang (Malaysia). For the fiscal year ending in September 2005, the more than 3,500 employees of OSRAM Opto Semiconductors achieved a sales volume of 452 million euros. For more information, visit www.osram-os.com. |
