Low-profile LED arrays for precision illumination

Manufactured by Integrated Photomatrix and available now from Pacer is the Hi-Lyte low-profile illuminator.

Manufactured by Integrated Photomatrix and available now from Pacer is the Hi-Lyte low-profile illuminator.

The product consists of a fixed array of LEDs with a well-defined angle of emission, that removes the need for extensive positioning adjustment normally required with an array of discrete LEDs.

By appropriate reflector design the Hi-Lyte can be manufactured to provide illumination ranging from a concentrated low divergent, through to a wide-angle near-Lambertian distribution in a low-profile design and in a variety of colours.

The manufacturing design and process allows the Hi-Lyte to be made to suit the customer's individual requirements, providing a very compact solution and a lifetime expectation well in excess of 50,000 hours.

The low divergent units have been tested in daylight conditions over distances in excess of 3km.

The standard technology demonstrator unit is 163 x 62 x 9.5mm in size and has flying-lead connections.

The design consists of customised versions that can be built to meet specific requirements for size, shape and wavelength ranging from 425 to 940nm.

Developed to deliver ultra-low-profile illuminators for the automotive industry, Hi-Lyte has numerous markets in machine vision applications, telecommunications, industrial control and the medical sectors.

The Hi-Lyte low-profile illuminator begins life as a transparent substrate onto which conductors are deposited.

LED die are then chip and wire bonded to the conductor layer and then a multifaceted array of contiguous parabolic reflectors in a single moulding is then added to complete the assembly, collectively known as Paracog Technology.
