Improves readability in high, ambient-light conditions
Osram (Sunnyvale, CA) is announcing the TopLED Black Series, which uses its lens. Medium-power LEDs are mounted in an industry standard, matte-black package, which offers higher contrast with lower reflectivity than comparable white-package devices without compromising overall luminous intensity, according to the company. The series is suitable for display applications where contrast is key for improved legibility, especially in high ambient light conditions. Target applications include information displays for traffic and public-transportation systems and price-changing displays, such as fuel-price totem-pole signs.
The 60° beam angle has been optimized for display applications, so the light is focused for excellent distance legibility. They can be used as replacements for conventional through-hole, radial LEDs.
The TopLED Black Series, which will be available initially in red and yellow, are equipped with a thin-film chip that guarantees high luminous efficiency in the black package. As “surface emitters,” thin-film LEDs emit almost all their internally generated light from their surface.
