Toshiba Launches 1W and 0.6W White LEDs for LED Lighting

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO:6502) today announced the launch of two new series of white LEDs, the 3.5 x 3.5mm lens package 1W type “TL1L2 series,” and the 3.0 x 3.0mm flat package 0.6W type “TL3GB series”. Mass production of both will start from the end of March.

Utilizing gallium nitride-on-silicon (GaN-on-Si) process technology, the new white LEDs realize low forward voltage (V_F) and low power consumption and can contribute to low power consumption and cost reductions.

1. “TL1L2 series”:
Applications
Light sources for general lighting (including light bulbs, base lights, down lights and ceiling lights), street lights and floodlights.

Main Specifications of the New Product
1. Utilizes GaN-on-Si process technology developed for LED lighting
2. Forward Voltage：V_F=2.85V@I_F=350mA
3. Luminous Efficacy: 135lm/W (5000K, Ra70) at 1W operation (I_F=350mA)
4. 3.5 x 3.5mm lens package
5. Color variation of 6 color temperatures, 2700K to 6500K.

2. “TL3GB series”:
Applications
Light sources for general lighting (including light bulbs, base lights, down lights and ceiling lights)

Main Specifications of the New Product
1. Utilizes GaN-on-Si process technology developed for LED lighting
2. Forward Voltage：V_F=5.76V@I_F=100mA
3. Luminous Efficacy: 118lm/W (5000K, Ra80) at 0.6W operation (I_F=100mA)
4. 3.0 x 3.0mm flat package
5. Color variation of 6 color temperatures, 2700K to 6500K.
