Everlight on show at electronica 2016
Taiwanese LED and optoelectronics firm Everlight has announced that it will be showing its newest infrared, automotive and lighting products at electronica 2016.
One highlight is the new ALS-PD50-42C ambient light sensor which operates at a green light wavelength of 550nm with a sensing area of 8.1mm2. It is said to have a very low signal calculation failure rate and a high current efficiency, making it suitable for heart rate signal detection in wearable electronics for the health and fitness industry.
It will also be showing the ALS-PDIC243-3C, a light sensor which indicates if there is sufficient light in the environment. If not, IR LEDs like the HIR-C19D or HIR333C provide additional illumination to boost the capability of a camera to see at night or in dark surroundings.
Everlight will also show new solutions for colour binning for interior and exterior automotive lighting applications along with other key automotive products. One example is white colour binning for dashboard applications like switches, instrument clusters and displays.
In terms of lighting LEDs, Everlight will be putting an emphasis on its full colour LED portfolio with multiple wavelengths for agriculture. The easiest way to achieve effective agricultural lighting is to provide a spectrum of light that best replicates sunlight OR by providing the necessary spectrums / colour combinations for specific functions. Colour combinations vary depending on region, time, temperature, plant, plant cycle, production targets and many other factors.
Everlight says it has all the basic colours needed for replicating sunlight and activating specific functions for agricultural lighting. For any part of the spectrum where additional colours need to be added or additional light functions are needed, there are different colour LEDs available for customer selection and tuning.
Other markets for full colour LEDs in addition to agricultural lighting include architectural, stage and landscape lighting. The latest product from Everlight for these industries is an RGBW in one high power LED.
Everlight will also show UVA and UVC series LEDs, both featuring many applications ranging from curing of the glues applied on industrial PCBs, light source for exposures, ink drying for printing systems, disinfection and sterilisation, biological analysis and testing, water and air purification, money detector pens, cosmetic curing, to tanning machines.
