ROHM develops the industry's smallest high-brightness tri-color LED light

ROHM, the world's leading semiconductor manufacturer, has developed the LED "MSL0402RGBU" with mirrors for consumer electronics such as dot matrix light source*1, which is increasingly miniaturized for wearable devices and entertainment products.

"MSL0402RGBU" is a high-brightness tri-color (red, green, blue) LED with mirrors. It is the smallest technology in the industry to achieve the industry's smallest size of 1.8mm x 1.6mm. As a result, high-density mounting allows for superior color mixing performance for more detailed LED performance.

In addition, in the past, in the application of the dot matrix light source, antistatic measures are sometimes required, and a Zener diode is generally used, and "MSL0402RGBU" uses a component having a high electrostatic withstand voltage, and the electrostatic withstand voltage can be ensured without a Zener diode, and the matrix is ​​prevented. The circuit produces unwanted illumination that can make the application more vivid.

This product has been sold in August 2016 (sample price 100 yen / piece: excluding tax), and in November 2016, it will be gradually put into mass production on a monthly basis of 100 million. The production base is ROHM-Wako Electronics (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (Malaysia).

In the future, ROHM will continue to focus on the high brightness, miniaturization and expansion of LED product lines, and continue to contribute to the performance of each application.

"background"

In recent years, full-color LEDs have become increasingly popular in a wide range of fields, such as various signs and digital signages with high design requirements, due to their rich and colorful expressiveness, and have been highly anticipated. At the same time, with the development of miniaturization and high performance of various applications, LEDs are required to have higher performance, and the demand for small, long-term and high-reliability LEDs is increasing. Previously, ROHM has introduced the ultra-small molded "PICOLED RGB series" and high-brightness mirror-type "SMLV series" to meet these market demands, and developed the industry's smallest high-brightness tri-color LED with mirror "MSL0402RGBU" ".
