Backlight puts RGB LEDs in slimline
package
Ideally suited for applications where extremely vivid colours are preferred such as mobile phones, laptops, navigation systems and microdisplays.
The RGB MicroSideLED from Osram Opto Semiconductors features an ultraslim design and delivers high brightness for coupling into light guides designed for backlighting in space-sensitive applications "The new RGB MicroSideLED is only 0.6mm high and offers outstanding brightness with an extremely thin form factor for use inside in-coupling light guides used to backlight very thin displays such as mobile phones and laptop LCDs", says Ellen Sisemore, Director LED/IR Marketing, Osram Opto Semiconductors

The exceptionally low thermal resistance of the Diamond Dragon's SMT package allows heat produced in the chip to be efficiently removed from the LED.
OLED tile promises lighting efficiency
OLED prototype has achieved a luminous efficiency of more than 20 lumen/W at a brightness of 1000cd/m.
"The streamlined SMT packaging makes it easier to specify high brightness LEDs into very compact display configurations".
Featuring three individual colour chips, Osram's new RGB MicroSideLED offers the highest colour gamut in the industry, delivering more than 100% of NTSC on screen, depending on the LCD used.
It is ideally suited for applications where extremely vivid colours are preferred such as mobile phones, laptops, navigation systems and microdisplays.
It also features an industry-leading high efficiency green delivering 1000mcd at 20mA with a power efficiency of 50 lumen/W.
The new RGB MicroSideLED offers excellent thermal resistance as each chip has its own thermal contact lead.
Additionally, the LEDs can be driven in series, allowing for greater freedom in electrical design.
With a compact package size of only 5.0 x 1.4 x 0.6mm, the mercury-free and RoHS-compliant RGB MicroSideLED is the ideal solution for any display where space constraints are a concern.
