LEDs have reflectors on their side
Three new ultra-small low-current miniature chip LEDs have built-in reflectors to deliver maximum luminous intensity when viewed from the side.
Rohm has expanded its family of miniature chip LEDs with three new ultra-small, low-current devices that use built-in reflectors to deliver maximum luminous intensity when viewed from the side Designed to provide enhanced PCB mounting flexibility, the new SML-711 series of red (630nm), orange (611nm) and yellow (590nm) side-view LEDs are ideal for backlighting in applications ranging from automotive displays to mobile phones

LED drivers run straight from the mains
AC/DC modules integrate LED-driving control circuits, switching elements, isolation transformers and constant-current circuits into a single SIL package.
Each device has board mounting dimensions of just 2.0 x 1.25mm and a low profile of only 0.8mm.
The new LEDs combine an AlGaInP on GaAs construction with the internal reflector and a translucent white lens.
Maximum forward current for each device is rated as 20mA, while maximum power dissipation is 44mA.
Typical brightness levels are in the region of 25mcd.
All of the LEDs in the SML-711 series will handle a maximum reverse current of 100uA and the maximum reverse voltage for all parts is 4V.
Each device can handle a peak forward current of 60mA.
The new LEDs can be supplied in tape-and-reel format and will operate at temperatures from -30C to +85C.
