Cree LED introduces 'FusionBeam' LEDs for signage
Cree LED has announced the launch of its CV28D LEDs with FusionBeam technology. Designed for the LED signage market, the new range is believed to be the first to combine the latest through-hole and surface-mount (SMD) RGB LED technology..
According to the company, the innovation marks a major leap forward for information displays, providing new levels of clarity and contrast versus current through-hole LED displays. With this high resolution, CV28D-enabled signs can now display icons, photos, logos, and even video, bringing unprecedented versatility to signs that can currently only display text or simple shapes.
Compared to traditional through-hole LEDs, the CV28D enables displays with 2.5 times the resolution, equivalent to the leap from standard definition 480p to full HD 1080p video. At the heart of the CV28D’s performance, FusionBeam technology simultaneously blends individual RGB LED dies into a single, uniform color and then sends it only to the intended audience. The new LEDs also feature advanced directionality, focusing light on the intended viewer while reducing light trespass and pollution to four times less than standard RGB SMD LEDs.
“We are proud to introduce our CV28D LEDs with FusionBeam technology, the first LED solution to truly bridge the gap between through-hole and SMD technologies in the LED signage market,” said Joe Clark, president of Cree LED. “By combining the best qualities of both, CV28D enables signage manufacturers to create displays with higher resolution, better directionality and improved durability, all while reducing light pollution. FusionBeam Technology LEDs represent the next frontier for LED information signs, and we’re excited to see how our customers leverage our technology in their future designs.”
