Cree LED launches CV28D LEDs with FusionBeam Technology for LED signs and displays
Cree LED Inc of Durham, NC, USA (a Penguin Solutions brand) has launched its new CV28D LEDs with FusionBeam Technology, providing an advance for the LED signage market. The CV28D LED combines the latest through-hole and surface-mount (SMD) RGB LED technology, delivering what is claimed to be superior directionality, image quality and resolution in a durable, easy-to-assemble package.
For information displays, the development is said to provide new levels of clarity and contrast versus existing through-hole LED displays. With this high resolution, CV28D-enabled signs can now display icons, photos, logos and even video, bringing versatility to signs that can currently only display text or simple shapes.
Compared with traditional through-hole LEDs, the CV28D enables displays with 2.5 times the resolution, equivalent to the leap from standard definition 480p to full HD 1080p video. FusionBeam Technology simultaneously blends individual RGB LED dies into a single, uniform color and then sends it only to the intended audience. The new LEDs also feature advanced directionality, focusing light on the intended viewer while reducing light trespass and pollution to four times less than standard RGB SMD LEDs.
The CV28D LEDs with FusionBeam Technology is “the first LED solution to truly bridge the gap between through-hole and SMD technologies in the LED signage market,” says president Joe Clark. “By combining the best qualities of both, CV28D enables signage manufacturers to create displays with higher resolution, better directionality and improved durability, all while reducing light pollution,” he adds. “FusionBeam Technology LEDs represent the next frontier for LED information signs.”
CV28D LEDs offer single LED package per pixel and provide ease of assembly and IP68-rated dustproof and waterproof reliability. With a form factor of only 4.3mm in height, they enable significantly thinner and lighter displays and signs, making them suitable for a wide range of outdoor applications.
