Vishay RGB LED in 0404 offers separate colour control
Vishay has introduced a new tricolour LED that provides luminous intensity to 252 mcd at 5 mA for RGB displays and backlighting. The VLMRGB1500 uses the latest high brightness AllnGaP and InGaN technologies in a package that is 70 percent smaller than the PLCC-4.
Featuring common anode and separate cathode connections for the red, true green, and blue LED chips inside its compact 1.0 mm by 1.0 mm by 0.65 mm 0404 surface-mount package, the VLMRGB1500 enables individual control of each chip, making it possible to realize every colour within the colour room defined by the gamut triangle area inside the CIE 1931 colour space through colour mixing.
The LED is suitable for switch illumination, status indicators, and dashboard signal and symbol illumination in micro-mobility, energy storage, and industrial applications; full-colour message and video display boards; keyboard illumination in computers; backlighting in consumer devices, home appliances, and telecom equipment; and a wide range of accent and decorative lighting.
The VLMRGB1500 provides high reliability over a temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C, offers a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 3, and withstands ESD voltages up to 2 kV for red and 1 kV for blue and green in accordance with JESD22-A114-B.
