LEDs ♦ news digest
LG is also following this latest technology trend and introduced sapphire camera lens in its newest smartphone LG G2. This will hopefully drive other smartphone manufacturers to use this material. LEDinside estimates the non-LED market application market share will reach 36 percent in 2014, with handheld device application demands even reaching 31 percent.
Sapphire Substrate Demand Market Share
“We have made great strides forward in refining, productising and improving our patented MAGIC technology,” says Keith Strickland, Plessey’s Chief Technology Officer. “We have a roadmap that puts MAGIC ahead of the efficacies achieved by sapphire- based LEDs and, thereby, sets a new milestone in terms of Lm/$ performance.”
He continues, “By approaching efficacy parity, we are accelerating the widespread adoption of GaN-on-Silicon LED-based lighting products. Our MAGIC LED products have a cost advantage over comparable sapphire-based LEDs as we use 6-inch, high yield, standard, automated silicon manufacturing technology.”
Plessey sampling new generation of GaN-on-Silicon LEDs
Samples of the UK firm’s p/n PLW114050 LED are currently available in a CCT range from 6500K to 2700K, in an industry standard 3020 package. With a drive current of 60mA, the PLW114050 has a typical forward voltage of 3.2V
Jose Lopez, Plessey’s Chief Commercial Officer, adds, “Customers are delighted that a European company is committed to developing and manufacturing world class GaN-on-Silicon LEDs. The market currently has many suppliers of LEDs but the quality and reliability can be variable. Plessey is a trusted brand with a 50-year plus track record of manufacturing products to the highest standards. Our aim is to light the world with MAGIC LEDs.”
The PLW114050 product is available in a CCT range from 6500K to 2700K, with a Lambertian distribution in an industry standard 3020 package. With a drive current of 60mA, the PLW114050 has a typical forward voltage of 3.2V. A full datasheet is available on the Plessey website. Plessey also supplies the blue LED PLB010050 in sawn- wafer die form. Additional package options will be made available.
Sample requests can be made on the Plessey website,

Plessey has announced the availability of its next generation GaN-on-Silicon mid-power LEDs.
The product family doubles the efficacy of Plessey’s first generation MAGIC (manufactured on GaN-on-Silicon I/C) products released in February 2013. Using standard silicon semiconductor production techniques, Plessey says it is able to achieve high flux output LED products at substantially lower cost. The PLW114050 is the first in a family of entry-level LED lighting products that will be released.
