TOSHIBA COMMERCIALIZES HIGH LUMINOUS FLUX WHITE LIGHT LEDS FOR ALTERNATIVE LIGHTING SOLUTION

Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)*, and its parent Toshiba Corp. (Toshiba), has announced a new generation of white light emitting diodes (LEDs) that achieves the industry's highest level of luminous flux for lighting used in either the home or office, decorative interior lighting in stores and LCD backlighting.

60-lumen white LED achieves industry's highest level of luminous flux and fulfills promise of white LEDs as a low power alternative to conventional lighting

Toshiba's white LED, TL10W02-D, realizes a luminous flux of 60 lumens at 500mA (2 watts). This performance was achieved by improving mounting technology for the LED chip and improved heat dissipation with a low thermal resistance package. An optimized design of internal reflective structure improved the efficiency of the optical emission.

Alongside the TL10W02-D, Toshiba also announced the 30-lumen type, TL10W01-D, which is scheduled go into mass production in July. Both new LEDs adopt a compact package and are applicable to Lead (Pb)-Free1 reflow soldering.

“The introduction of high luminous flux white LED is a significant milestone in the effort to make LEDs a viable alternative for a variety of lighting applications,” said Masanobu Sato, business development manager, optoelectronics for TAEC.
