Cree increases brightness level of top products

Cree has introduced enhanced versions of its XBright and MegaBright products, as well as very thin LEDs for keypad backlighting.
Cree has announced the introduction of its MegaBright Plus and XBright Plus blue LEDs, both of which will be offered in 460 nm and 470 nm versions.

The typical brightness level for the new XBright Plus device is approximately 20 percent higher than Cree s XBright product, which is currently the highest-performing Cree device. The 470 nm XB Plus product has a minimum radiant flux of 15 mW with a typical radiant flux of 17 mW.

The typical brightness level for the new MegaBright Plus device is approximately 30 percent higher than Cree s MegaBright product. The 470 nm MB Plus product has a minimum radiant flux of 12 mW with a typical radiant flux of 13 mW.

The MB Plus and XB Plus product specifications make these devices desirable for applications for white LED backlighting of mobile appliance color liquid crystal displays. Production quantities are currently available for both the MB Plus and XB Plus products.

Mike Dunn, Cree s VP of Optoelectronics, said "These brighter versions of our MegaBright and XBright products offer exciting opportunities targeted specifically at the white LED market. We believe our customers can achieve even greater performance by using these products in applications requiring white light, such as color LCD backlighting."

RazerThin LEDs

Cree also announced that it has begun providing initial samples of its new RazerThin LED products to select customers. These products are 60 percent thinner than Cree s standard products at approximately 100 microns in height, and also offer a lower forward voltage.

Preliminary specifications for this product include a typical Vf of 2.9 V when operated at 5 mA. Applications for next generation keypad backlighting require sub-miniaturization and a thinner form factor for LEDs. The full release of this product is targeted for early July.
