Market Applications:
•
Indicator and backlighting for audio and video equipment; office equipment; LCDs, switches, and
symbols; interior and exterior lighting; and indoor and outdoor message boards
The Perspective:
Offered in the surface-mount 0402 ChipLED package, VLMx1500-GS08 series LEDs measure 1.0
mm by 0.5 mm with an ultra-thin 0.35 mm profile, and provide a luminous intensity to 180 mcd. While
the blue and white LEDs in the VLMx1500-GS08 series use highly efficient InGaN technology, the
super red, soft orange, yellow, and yellow green devices utilize the latest advanced AllnGaP
technology to increase light output by a factor of three. With their high brightness and small size,
VLMx1500-GS08 series LEDS offer reliable performance for indicators and backlighting in a wide
range of end products.
Availability: Samples and production quantities of the VLMx1500-GS08 series are available now,
with lead times of eight weeks for larger orders.
