Surface-Mount RGB LED Lamps Provide Full-Color Capability for Back-
Lighting, Edge-Lighting and Status Indication in Portable Devices
June 5, 2003- Fairchild introduces the first two products in a new line of full-color, surface-mount RGB LED lamps. The QTLP650D-RGB is a top-illuminating lamp in a 1210 package, ideal for back-lighting and status indication. The QTLP614C-RGB is a side-illuminating, right-angle, LED lamp designed for edge lighting LCD displays. The small size, high brightness, and wide viewing angle of the lamps make them ideal for use in mobile phones, personal digital assistants, and other portable applications. In addition to providing red, green or blue color output, both the QTLP650D-RGB and QTLP614C-RGB are capable of mixing the RGB light sources for multi-color output. The RGB LED lamps may be used in conjunction with complementary Fairchild LED driver ICs to give designers a full range of color and brightness control in portable electronic devices. The QTLP650D-RGB and QTLP614C-RGB are two of the most compact, full-color LED lamps available. The QTLP650D-RGB, housed in a 1210 surface-mount package, has a 3.2 x 2.7 mm footprint and 1.1 mm height. It features diffused optics and a 140° viewing angle to provide ample, uniform light over a wide viewing range. The QTLP614C-RGB is a right-angle LED with a 3.2 x 1.0 mm footprint and 1.5 mm height, water clear optics to optimize brightness, and a 160° viewing angle for edge lighting LCD displays. Price: US $1.00 (10,000 pcs)
