DiCon Fiberoptics Launches DiCon LED

November 13, 2009 – Richmond, CA – DiCon Fiberoptics announces the launching of a newly established business unit and accompanying website, DiCon LED. This division specializes in high-density and high-brightness LED technology to incorporate into breakthrough illumination products and better serve the needs of the industrial markets.

Founded in 1986, DiCon Fiberoptics is a recognized leader in the photonic and fiber optic industries. Expanding its technical expertise, DiCon established a solid-state lighting technology group in 2001 and invented a proprietary photon extraction method that allows for the commercialization of high-brightness LED chips. In parallel to wafer-level developments, DiCon grew LED-related knowledge in optics, thermals, mechanics, electronics, and controls, applying it to resolve complex engineering issues and perfect a competitive LED platform.

Together with this launch, DiCon LED announces a high-density LED array that emits over 1500 lumens. Integrating twenty-one 1.0 mm x 1.0 mm high brightness LED chips, this array can be driven with more than 500 mA while dissipating heat quickly with its patented thermal management system. Its high packing density creates a virtual point source that is easily manipulated with simple optics. The multi-channel design allows for independent control of various LED types to result in a programmable light source.

Accented with green to emphasize LED™ environmentally friendly benefits, DiCon™ new website has information sections on microscopy and machine vision applications. Case study examples such as photo imaging can help the visitor better understand how to apply the products. With a support section that contains product manuals, software downloads, and product manuals, DiCon LED will continue to expand content and products to match the growing needs of the industrial market.
