April 17, 2006... Opens More Applications to Energy Efficient Solid State Lighting Solutions
Sandy, Utah, USA ? The CAO Group, Inc., a leading innovator of integrated energy saving power-LEDs and solid state lighting solutions, has announced the availability of an innovative 3-dimensional packaged LED solution targeted at general, ambient, interior, And the alternative types of lighting applications. Making use of patented technology that combines multiple high brightness (HB) LED chips into an extremely compact package, the Dynasty Integrated Power LED sets an industry milestone by providing a high lumen output, and a broad projection pattern, In a flexible design that requires no secondary heat sink.
The Dynasty series offers higher performance than other power LEDs by implementing an innovative 3-dimensional lead frame design that allows the use of higher efficiency and lower heat standard HB-LED chips. ?Our patented 3-dimensional lead frame approach enables a unique combination of Proprietary phosphors and optics that really get the most light out of these devices. We?re typically seeing 60 Lumen/Watt with a range from 50-70 Lumen/Watt performance in production for white with a color temperature range from 5000K to 7000K,? States CAO Group president, Densen Cao, PhD. ?Beyond just the efficiency, the design allows standard-setting optical flexibility that generates a broad 360o horizontal by 270o vertical Butterfly-BeamTM pattern suitable for a wide variety of general lighting applications,? Cao.
Initially targeted at low wattage accent and interior lighting applications, the Dynasty line is suitable for use in roles currently served by S-11, candelabra, MR-11, MR-16, and many other types of incandescent bulbs. In addition to providing options For conventional surface or through-hole mounting, Dynasty is also available in easy-replacement twist-in type packaging. The twist-in package has a particular advantage for LCD backlight applications where the ability to replace a single lighting element can be a significant product Maintenance enhancement.
One of the key elements driving the decision to use smaller, more efficient HB-LED chips was CAO?s recognition of the benefits that would come from eliminating the internal silicone buffer layer that is required for heat management in typical large power chip packages. Small chips distributed across a 3-dimensional lead frame, heat is significantly easier to manage which enables an increase in Lumen/Watt output as well as allowing optically optimized epoxy to directly encase the entire assembly. The result is increased output and greater leeway to tune With light dispersion allowing Dynasty to generate the signature 360/270 Butterfly-Beam. With direct epoxy encasement, the Dynasty packaging is fully waterproof, opening the door to the initiation of the formal application of the exterior architecture and underwater applications such as pools and spas.
å•è¯This design is really so flexible, it becomes a major challenge to narrow the target applications as we might be able to do with other products. We truly believe that a concept like Dynasty will help accelerate the diffus adoption of HB-LEDs for general lighting By breaking new ground in performance, versatility, and efficiency, all at a lower cost per lumen,? concluded Dr. Cao.
Covered by US patents 6,465,961, and 6,746,885 and other pending US patents, the DynastyTM Integrated Power LED is available for sampling now in white, red, yellow, green, cyan, and blue with volume release in Q3 of 2006. The CAO Group will be Speaking and demonstrating the Dynasty family at the Solid State Lighting Suppliers Forum, May 9-11 in Hsinchu, Taiwan, and in the USA at LIGHTFAIR International 2006, May 30 to June 1 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
