New ams OSRAM OSTAR LEDs bring vivid colors

ams OSRAM adds four new LEDs to its family of OSTAR Projection Power products. The new LEDs produce superior optical performance in projection equipment that is based on a 0.33“ DLP (Digital Light Processing) imager.

The new OSTAR Projection Power LE xx P1MS/AS LEDs have a very close etendue match with the 0.33“ DLP imager. The LEDs are available in Blue, Amber, Deep Blue and Converted Green colors. When used in a typical four-channel configuration, these OSTAR® Projection Power LEDs produce an output of 880 lm on projector level. This is five percent brighter than the next best 0.33“ DLP-compatible LEDs available from competitors, according to internal ams OSRAM tests.

The OSTAR Projection Power LE xx P1MS/AS LEDs are supplied in a compact package with a footprint of just 6.8 mm x 7.6 mm. The package has a copper metal-core PCB with isolated solder pad, making thermal system design easier and reducing the cost of thermal components.

The excellent thermal performance of the OSTAR® Projection Power LE xx P1MS/AS also supports very high current density and brightness – 6.6 A/mm2 for the Blue, Deep Blue and Converted Green LEDs, and 4.5 A/mm2 for Amber.

In multi-channel configurations, the LEDs support serial connection with a low forward current, enabling the use of a simpler, lower-cost LED driver.
