Impressive brightness in the industry's thinnest package

Overview

ROHM now offers the thinnest LEDs in the industry*. The PICOLED TM series provides impressive brightness in a package only 0.2mm thick. In addition, high reliability is ensured, with no brightness degradation after 10,000 hours**.
And their small size makes them ideal for use in high resolution high density matrix applications requiring a high degree of expressiveness, such as mobile phone displays.

* ROHM August October 2009 survey
** The high-reliability 4-element (AlGaInP) structure (excluding blue and white LEDs) ensure no brightness degradation even after 10,000 hours.

Featur1 : The world's thinnest, most compact package

Original high brightness device technology, combined with ultra-fine process technology, are utilized to develop 0.2mm thin LEDs with no brightness degradation compared to conventional products - an unprecedented achievement. Mounting area and volume are reduced 53% and 74%, respectively, over the standard 1608 size, contributing to device miniaturization.

ROHM's miniaturization technology

Feature2 : Small-scale customization possible

●The smaller the LED size the closer they can be placed next to each other, allowing configuration of high density matrixes for greater resolution.
Example: 16pcs x 16pcs = 256pcs

●Customized colors available
Ex: Pink, light blue, purple

Feature3 : New technology ensures high reliability

The high reliability 4-element (AlGaInP) structure offers greater reliability with virtually no brightness degradation after 30,000 hours, unlike conventional products that experience a 30% drop in brightness.
