LEDs tackle outdoor displays in extreme conditions

The Displix black and Displix blackprint multichip LEDs by Osram Opto Semiconductors are designed to address the environmental demands of such large-format outdoor displays as those used at rock concerts, sports events, or perimeter advertising. The robust LEDs are high-contrast and high-power, and can withstand high humidity levels, torrential rain and wide temperature fluctuations.
Both LED options produce high levels of brightness. The light intensity at the illuminant D65 white point is 1450 millicandela (mcd) at an operating current of 20 mA, which is very bright in its black package.  The blackprint version is even more intense at 2960 mcd with good contrast.
