ROHM Co., Ltd. has completed the development of an ultra-compact LED featuring both the smallest volume and area offered. The SMLP12 series (PicoLED™) is ideally suited for devices requiring thin, compact components, such as mobile phone keypads, small dot-matrix units and compact seven-segment display devices.

Utilizing original high luminosity device and ultra-precise processing technologies has enabled ROHM to develop the SML-P12 series ((PicoLED™) of ultra-compact, ultra-thin chip LEDs (t=0.008in) in a full range of colors - previously thought impossible due to the significant loss in luminosity with traditional LEDs.

The new units feature the same level of brightness as conventional chip LEDs, but in a package size 53% smaller in area and with 74% less volume than standard 0603-sized products. This makes them ideal for use in high density applications with narrow spaces, contributing to greater set miniaturization. The new LEDs can also be used to create compact, full color high density matrices (0.06” pitch) that can be used in car audio displays or to produce seven-segment displays with a character height of 0.2” (an industry first), broadening the possibilities of numerical display applications.

A full lineup is available in a variety of colors: red, orange, yellow and green, and all of the light emitting elements are of the high reliability four element (InGaAlP) or high luminosity (InGaN) type, ensuring continuous, long term reliable operation.

 

FEATURES Ultra-compact (0.04 × 0.02”) - 53% smaller area and 74% less volume than conventional 1608-sized units High luminosity types offered in a range of colors: red, orange, yellow and green

APPLICATIONS Mobile phone keypads Small dot-matrix units Compact seven-segment display devices
