OSRAM Opto Semiconductors Introduces Brightest, High-Power LED in the DRAGON Series: the Platinum DRAGON(R).New Lighting Product Suitable for All Applications That Need High Brightness in a Small Space 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, today announced yet another addition to its DRAGON series line of high-power LEDs: the Platinum DRAGON[R]. The Platinum DRAGON produces white light at 75 lm from an operating current of 700 mA (30 lm/W), making it the brightest single-chip, high-power LED in the DRAGON series. Potential efficiencies range from 30 to 50 lumens per watt watt [for James Watt], abbr. W, unit of power, or work done per unit time, equal to 1 joule per second. It is used as a measure of electrical and mechanical power. depending on actual application drive current. "OSRAM Opto Semiconductors is very pleased to unveil the newest member of its high-performance DRAGON family," said Ellen Sizemore, Director of LED/IR Marketing, OSRAM Opto Semiconductors Inc. "The Platinum DRAGON heralds a new dimension in brightness for LEDs, along with many new and exciting lighting application possibilities where high brightness is needed in a small space." Like the rest of the DRAGON family, the Platinum DRAGON is a high-performance LED emitting e·mit tr.v. e·mit·ted, e·mit·ting, e·mits 1.

Additionally, it has the same design and dimensions as the Golden DRAGON([R])package, only 1.8 mm height, but can withstand twice the input and therefore a higher operating current. This means more light in the same amount of space. The availability of the Platinum DRAGON's complete color portfolio and external optics, as well as its extraordinary brightness, open up new possibilities for almost any lighting application. Flashlights, bicycle bicycle, light, two-wheeled vehicle driven by pedals. The name velocipede is often given to early forms of the bicycle and to its predecessor, the dandy horse, a two-wheeled vehicle moved by the thrust of the rider's feet upon the ground. lamps and flashing blue lights for emergency vehicles are some of the many application possibilities, while existing applications such as traffic lights, flashing warning lights on building sites, reading lights in cars and aircraft, and medical lamps can now be brighter without design modifications. The high-power ThinFilm and ThinGaN[R] chips, better thermal connection between the chip and the package, and optimum heat dissipation Noun 1. heat dissipation - dissipation of heat chilling, cooling, temperature reduction - the process of becoming cooler; a falling temperature of the SMT (1) (Surface Mount Technology) See surface mount.

SMT - Station Management package itself, all add up to a significant boost in output for the Platinum DRAGON. Pricing and Availability At a price of less than three dollars, the Platinum DRAGON offers more lumens per dollar than any other LED.

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 A device that measures or detects a real-world condition, such as motion, heat or light and converts the condition into an analog or digital representation. An optical sensor detects the intensity or brightness of light, or the intensity of red, green and blue for color systems. 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. 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. |
