Luminus Devices has developed its newest Red-Green-Blue (RGB) LED chipsets, the Compact SBT-16 and SBT-39 chipsets, targeted to consumer projectors.

Personal and ultra-mobile LED projectors are an emerging class of miniature projection devices with sizes typically ranging from 150 to 400 cm3. These projectors may include built-in digital media players and can connect to portable devices such as PDAs and notebook computers.

Luminus Devices’s red, green and blue LEDs that are individually assembled in a small footprint, performance surface mount package.

Each Compact SBT-16 device comes with a 1.6mm2 LED emitter and has a 18.5 mm2 footprint, a 70 percent reduction over the previous generation device. They are engineered for the most compact palm-size or embedded projectors with performance ranging from 30 to 150 lumens depending on the available power budget.

The SBT-39 devices include a 3.9 mm2 LED emitter with a package footprint of only 33 mm2 and are designed for mid-range projectors whose performance ranges from 150 to 300 lumens.
