Cree boosts LED colour mixing performance
Cree LED, an SGH company has launched its higher performance XLamp XE-G LEDs. Through a combination of higher light output and lower forward voltage, the upgraded XE-G LEDs are said to deliver a 20 percent increase in efficiency for RGBW (Red/Green/Blue/White) colour-mixing systems and a 10 percent or higher efficiency gain for 13 of the 18 colours.
Thomas Bretgeld, CEO from Bretgeld-Engineering GmbH commented, "Cree LED’s XE-G LEDs offer high performance and comprehensive colours in the small packages we need, without compromising thermal and optical values. This upgrade will provide a significant increase in efficiency and more design options enabling us to push the performance boundaries of our LED engines even further. Combining the performance of the LEDs, the list of available colours with our state-of-the-art simulation tools gives us the ability to create truly outstanding solutions for the entertainment and theatrical market which haven’t been thought possible before."
The XE-G 2.05 x 1.6 mm footprint package features a combination of characteristics for LEDs in this size class, including a large isolated thermal pad, minimal spacing between the LED chip and the package edge, ESD protection and a consistent optical source across all colours. With 18 different colour options including a full range of white variations, the XE-G LEDs offer lighting manufacturers flexibility to customise and enhance the light output properties of their products.
"We are always looking for ways to improve our products, and I am excited to announce these significant improvements to one of our flagship product lines," said Joe Clark, president of Cree LED. "Our upgraded XE-G LEDs enable our customers to improve their luminaires with minimal effort, requiring little to no redesign. This innovation not only enhances product performance but also delivers significant benefits to our customers."
Cree LED’s XLamp XE-G LEDs are optimised for directional lighting applications that benefit from multi-colour LED designs, such as indoor directional lighting, architectural lighting, entertainment lighting and aftermarket automotive lighting.
Secure Your Hydrogen Supply
A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.
