Osram Opto Semiconductors 1 mm2 infrared chip prototype
10 December, 2012The 1 mm2 infrared chip prototype from Osram Opto Semiconductors has achieved an efficiency of up to 72% at 100 mA using thin-film technology. At 930 mW from an operating current of 1 A, its light output under laboratory conditions is claimed to be 25% higher than that of the chips currently available on the market, which means that future infrared LEDs can be made even more energy-efficient.
