Lextar to debut `White Chip` LED

The III-nitride based module is claimed to have an efficiency of 200 lumens per Watt
Lextar Electronics, a vertically integrated LED company, has announced the packaging-free 'White Chip' to demonstrate its new achievement in LED technology.

The new White Chip LED will make its debut at "Light + Building Frankfurt 2014," which is taking place until April 4th.

It is being demonstrated in various LED lamps, including the 50-watt halogen equivalent GU10 LED spot lamp, point-light candle lamp, and omni-directional LED tube.

Lextar's new White Chip technology involves substrate-free flip chip and phosphor molding process, and can be fabricated by current SMT equipment.  These features can simplify the manufacturing process significantly.

The firm's device is a chip scale die without packaging process, featuring high lumen densities, high lumen output, wide beam angle, and can be packaged closer therefore simplify optical lens design.

Lextar's White Chip can be applied to lighting products especially small sized lamps such as spot or candle lamps.  It can also be applied to backlighting, helping reduce the thickness of direct-lit backlight modules.

When used in GU10 spot lamp, this White Chip can achieve high lumen output and high lumen intensity, reaching up to 2500cd at a 25 degree beam angle; with a CRI 90 performance, making it a replacement for a 50 Watt halogen lamp.

The White Chip also gives its point-light candle lamp identically glowing effects to the starlight indoors.

Moreover, the light tube equipped with White Chip and COG (Chip on Glass) technology, on the other hand, allows 3600 illumination reaching an efficiency of 200 lumens per Watt.

"Since LED companies have been eager to attempt simplified manufacturing process at reduced costs in these few years, flip chip and several packaging-free LED products are getting more popular," says Reg Tsai, Director of Technology R&D Division of Lextar.

Thanks to its vertical integration, Lextar provides products and services through different stages from upstream chip to finished lighting products.

The company expects to move this newly launched White Chip into market during Q2 this year.
