Store this angel in big sizePatent filed to accomplish aggressive advantage in technology

SEOUL, KOREA (December 11, 2007) – Seoul Semiconductor, one of the world’s arch LED manufacturers, appear today that it has launched the world’s thinnest chip-LED at 0.17mm, able of bearing added than two times the accuracy of absolute chip-LEDs. Seoul Semiconductor has activated for a apparent for its new chip. Seoul Semiconductor’s new chip-LED, WH108, measures 1.6mm in width, 0.8mm in breadth and 0.17mm in height, and represents a cogent abridgement in thickness. The WH108 is 15% thinner than the industry’s absolute attenuate chip-LED, which measures 0.2mm. The WH108 aswell delivers above achievement at a beaming acuteness of 240 mcd, added than two times brighter than the absolute chip-LED at a accepted of 5 mA. WH108’s ultra-thin amalgamation and top accuracy accomplish it ideal for use in applications for corpuscle buzz keypad modules or blow pads, which will ultimately advance to thinner corpuscle phones. In addition, the WH108 is able of bearing the aforementioned accuracy at a lower power, which helps extend the array activity of carriageable accessories such as corpuscle phones, agenda cameras and laptops. The WH108 has added thermal characteristics, acceptation it can bear and accomplish anxiously in ambitious environments such as:

•Small lights: close lighting of refrigerator, account lamp of automobile
•Special beam devices: endoscope illumination
•Automobile dashboard lighting

Its wafer-type substrate, which has been structurally precision-processed to advance the optical efficiency, enables the cavity to apprehend accomplished beaming acuteness and thermal characteristics. Prototype models of the WH108 in white, abject and blooming will be accessible to corpuscle buzz companies in Korea and globally in December 2007. Seoul Semiconductor will activate accomplishment of the WH108 on a calibration of added than 10 actor LEDs per ages in the aboriginal division of 2008. “The WH108 is a aftereffect of our connected charge to accommodated our customers’ appeal for thinner and brighter chip-LEDs,” said Jung Soo Park, the arch of cavity LED business analysis at Seoul Semiconductor. “Seoul Semiconductor will not cease in its analysis and development efforts and charge to advanced the world’s LED technology,” he added.
