OSRAM Opto Semiconductors Develops High-Intensity Green Chip.New LED Offers Low Current and Increased Brightness for Backlighting back·light n. A type of spotlight, used in photography, that illuminates a subject from behind. tr.v. back·light·ed or back·lit , back·light·ing, back·lights Applications SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif. -- World light-emitting diode (LED) technology leader, OSRAM Opto Semiconductors, is developing a low current, high-power green 1 mm2 chip, featuring the latest in ThinGaN technology. With unprecedented brightness values of more than 180 lm, the new green chip will be used in the company's DRAGON[R] and 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] LEDs, and is targeted for LCD display backlighting applications. "A new epitaxial process and improved chip design, as well as low power consumption, have given this new green chip a major boost in efficiency and brightness that makes it ideal for display backlighting applications," Dr. Matthias Peter, development engineer at OSRAM Opto Semiconductors, said. The new 180 lm green chip from OSRAM has a power consumption of 1.4 W, achieves 72 lm/W, and features a wavelength of 527 nm from an operating current of 1 A. In comparison, the existing green Platinum DRAGON[R] LED produces 100 lm from an operating current of 1 A. With a current range of 100 to 350mA, and a power consumption of 1 W, the new green chip from OSRAM provides an efficient and cool base, as well as uniform and increased brightness over large display diagonals with less LEDs. The new green chips from OSRAM are expected to go into series production by the third quarter of 2008. About OSRAM Opto Semiconductors OSRAM Opto Semiconductors GmbH of Regensburg 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 in the world. It offers its customers solutions based on semiconductor technology for lighting, sensor and visualization Using the computer to convert data into picture form. The most basic visualization is that of turning transaction data and summary information into charts and graphs. Visualization is used in computer-aided design (CAD) to render screen images into 3D models that can be viewed from all applications.
