The white dotLED is available in a 1005 SMT package, a standard electronic component size handled by surface-mount machines used in high volume, consumer electronics manufacturing. Delivering up to 1.0Lm of white light with a 130° viewing angle from a 5mA drive current, the PLW13D003 meets the demand for ever smaller displays. A blue version, the PLB13D003 is also available in a variety of wavelengths from 460 to 480nm.
Dr. Keith Strickland, Plessey's CTO, said, "The increasing popularity of our dotLEDs has led us to develop our first chip scale package solution around the fit and performance of this product range."
