Seoul Semiconductor has launched a chip-LED at 0.17mm. The WH108 measures 1.6mm in width, 0.8mm and in length. The WH108 delivers superior performance at a luminous intensity of 240 mcd, more than two times brighter than the existing chip-LED at a current of 5 mA. WH108’s ultra-thin package and high brightness make it ideal for use in applications for cell phone keypad modules or touch pads, which will ultimately lead to thinner cell phones. The WH108 has enhanced thermal characteristics, meaning it can withstand and perform reliably in demanding environments such as inner lighting of refrigerator, reading lamp of automobile, endoscope illumination and Automobile dashboard lighting. Prototype models in white, blue and green will be available in December 2007. Seoul Semiconductor will begin mass-production of the LEDs in the first quarter of 2008.
