Plessey develops Chips Scale Optics for its GaN-on-Silicon LEDs

September 22, 2015

Plymouth, England — 22nd September 2015 – Plessey announced today that it has developed a patented technology for Chip Scale Optics (CSO) based on its award winning GaN-on-Silicon MaGIC ™ LEDs. Chip Scale Optics permits design of light emission angles down to ten degrees direct from the LED. Having the primary optics on-chip eliminates the cost of primary optics typically found in packaged LEDs and chip-on-board modules. Furthermore, it significantly lowers the cost and provides for far greater design freedom for secondary optics within a luminaire. The first off applications include retail spot lighting, hospitality lighting, high … Read More →
