Extended, vivid colours, including magentas and blue-greens; simplifies circuit design; more economical than RGB colour mixing
OMC, a pioneer in optoelectronics, has developed a new technology that enables a whole rainbow of new LED backlight colours to be produced, including magentas and blue-greens. Previously the only way to achieve non-standard LED colours was to use RGB colour mixing, which involves three times as many chips, complex wiring and requires drive circuitry to control the relative channel levels, and with that, higher costs. OMC’s new series of profiled backlights with Active Reflector Technology produces a striking range of vivid, next-generation LED backlight colours, and gives designers far greater creative choice and flexibility.
OMC’s proprietary Active Reflector Technology utilises photon wavelength upconversion to produce a wide range of rich colours and pastel shades. OMC’s new ART series backlights are available in crimson red, rose pink, a strong red-orange, bright orange, amber yellow, pastel yellow, high brightness yellow/green, vivid green, deep green, electric green-blue, a classic rich LED blue and a strong, bright shade of magenta. ART series backlights use only one wavelength of emitter per backlight, so there is no requirement to mix multiple LED wavelengths, reducing design complexity and lowering costs.
As a specialist manufacturer of LED backlights, OMC can produce bespoke shapes, sizes and colours as standard, with no set-up costs for most designs and very low minimum order quantities. Designers can have samples in as little as a few days. Next generation ART LED backlights suit multiple applications, including illuminating liquid crystal displays, logos, badges, signs and many more.
