the issue of hot spot when reducing the number of LEDs

Compared to the price of a CCFL backlight module, which has already hit the price floor, the price of a LED monitor backlight module is the biggest obstacle when it comes to promotion. With cost reduction as an objective, manufacturers will start by changing the configuration of the light bar and LED lights in the new design. First, the mainstream 3020 low-power LEDs will be replaced with 5630 mid-power LEDs; under the same luminous flux, higher luminous efficacy significantly reduces the number of LEDs needed. In the new design, a single light bar is configured on the short side, compared with the existing design of a single or double light bar on the long side, and the cost is reduced from shortened length of the light bar. Furthermore, the shorter distance also effectively prevents the issue of hot spot when reducing the number of LEDs.

An LED array technology company, DiCon LED selected Edmund Optics to be their distribution partner due to their vast application experience in illumination and imaging for the electronics, semiconductor, and biomedical markets. Combining DiCon’s advanced LED technology with Edmund Optics’ extensive market presence and knowledge, DiCon will be better able to serve the industrial markets through this partnership.

DiCon will be able to respond quickly to changes in customer requirements and requests for new features, in the very demanding industrial solid-state lighting markets." said Robert Schleicher, DiCona€?s VP of Product Development.

Edmund Optics will first carry DiCon’s new Microscope Illuminators, featuring high-brightness LED arrays with multiple mounting options, several output choices, and dynamic control options for microscopy and machine vision applications. These fiber optic illuminators effortlessly replace halogen or xenon illuminators to grant all the benefits of led high bay light, including color-changing ability, adjustment of white light color temperature, low power consumption, and little heat. The revolutionary programming options on the illuminator allow the user to specify and tailor the color, intensity, and time duration of the light output for the usera€?s particular application.
