The new TOPLED Black Series with lens from
OSRAM Opto Semiconductors is the first TOPLED in a black package that can achieve a typical luminous intensity of 1.9 cd (at 20 mA), which means it is as bright as a comparable LED in a white package but offers higher contrast and fewer reflections.
The 60° beam angle of the LED has been optimized for display applications, so the light is focused for perfect viewing. The LED is therefore ideal as a replacement for conventional radial light emitting diodes. So far, it is also the only LED in a black package to provide the same luminous intensity as a comparable LED in a white package.
The target applications of the red and yellow LED are displays such as fuel price totem signs or public transport passenger information systems.
