TactoTek and ams OSRAM cooperate to optimize RGB LED for in-mold structural electronics
The companies have developed a demonstrator with the new RGB side-looker LED OSIRE E5515 from ams OSRAM, which thanks to TactoTek's in-mold structural electronics (IMSE) technology can be integrated into automotive interior in a space-saving design.
Molded into a thin plastic trim part with TactoTek's IMSE technology, the ams OSRAM RGB side-looker LED OSIRE E5515 allows lightweight and thin applications designed for car interiors. This combination enables designers to build rich, seamless designs by merging surface decoration, illumination, and functionality into one smart surface, thus eliminating the boundaries that have held designers back when designing with conventional and current technologies. Driven with modern controllers, illuminating the surface from within, the LED from ams OSRAM sets the mood, informs, guides, and adapts to the designer or user's needs. The broadest color gamut on the market means design freedom without compromising color quality and performance.
The OSIRE E5515 is a three-color, RGB side emitter enabling light coupling into thin materials, such as lightguides. The package design of ams OSRAM’s OSIRE E5515 enables ultra-compact designs and is optimized for the low height required for in-mold applications.
The LED impresses with a brightness performance of 1100 mcd for red, 2600 mcd for green and 500 mcd for the blue color at 20 mA. Also, deep blue colors are available. The RGB LED from ams OSRAM offers the maximum flexibility in terms of driver selection and interconnection. The package provides 6 pins, so each color’s chip can be contacted to both its individual anode and cathode. This allows customers to be flexible with the electronics architecture for the driver and choose between high-side and low-side drivers for the board design.
