Cree LED Introduces CV28D LEDs with FusionBeam Technology for LED Signs and Displays

Cree LED announced the launch of its new CV28D LEDs with FusionBeam Technology, a groundbreaking advancement for the LED signage market. The CV28D LED combines the latest through-hole and surface-mount (SMD) RGB LED technology, delivering superior directionality, image quality, and resolution in a durable, easy-to-assemble package.

This innovation marks a major leap forward for information displays, providing new levels of clarity and contrast versus current through-hole LED displays. With this high resolution, CV28D-enabled signs can now display icons, photos, logos, and even video, bringing unprecedented versatility to signs that can currently only display text or simple shapes.

Compared to traditional through-hole LEDs, the CV28D enables displays with 2.5 times the resolution, equivalent to the leap from standard definition 480p to full HD 1080p video. At the heart of the CV28D’s performance, FusionBeam Technology simultaneously blends individual RGB LED dies into a single, uniform color and then sends it only to the intended audience. The new LEDs also feature advanced directionality, focusing light on the intended viewer while reducing light trespass and pollution to four times less than standard RGB SMD LEDs.

CV28D LEDs offer single LED package per pixel and provide ease of assembly and IP68-rated dustproof and waterproof reliability. With a form factor of only 4.3 mm in height, they enable significantly thinner and lighter displays and signs — making them ideal for a wide range of outdoor applications.
