Cree announced that Hong Kong-based manufacturer Lighthouse Technologies Ltd has begun to use Cree's high-brightness surface mount (SMD) LEDs in its LED outdoor display design. For the display developed in the fixed installation market, Zhaoguang Technology uses Cree's CLV6 and CLX6 SMD LEDs, which now meet the needs of various outdoor venues, including stadiums, outdoor digital billboards, advertising signs, shopping malls and theme parks. Such as display applications with long viewing distance requirements.
Zhao Guangde, managing director of Zhaoguang Technology, said: "Zhaoguang Technology is the first company to launch SMD LED outdoor display. We chose Cree CLV6 and CLX6 SMD LEDs in the Impact series display design. With Cree SMD LED technology, Zhaoguang Technology has become a leader in the global outdoor LED display market. We have successfully developed a breakthrough full-color outdoor display with Cree's SMD LED and helped ensure product design in the US."
The high-performance tri-color SMD LEDs of the CLV6 and CLX6 offer countless advantages for outdoor displays, especially for outdoor billboard applications with full color video. These SMD LEDs are not only waterproof (waterproof grade IPX8 standard), but their resin-sealed packages also contain UV inhibitors to reduce the effects of long-term exposure to direct sunlight, thus maintaining a stable light output during LED use. In addition, its matte black surface reduces sunlight reflection and improves contrast; they provide up to 2100 mcd of maximum intensity green brightness at 20 mA. They have a viewing angle range of up to 120 degrees, which enhances the visible range for outdoor audiences. SMD LEDs are lead-free components that are RoHS compliant and packaged in PLCC6 technology.
The combined performance of these advantages will directly benefit LED display customers seeking to optimize the impact of outdoor display viewing. One of the latest successful projects of Zhaoguang Technology is a typical case. The large-scale outdoor display screen of Safeco Field, a Seattle-based Seattle Mariner's Major League baseball team, uses Cree's CLV6 SMD LED. The Lighthouse Impact 16 display gives fans a richer viewing experience. The 1080p x 3840p LED display is equivalent to two identical side-by-side high resolution screens, totaling more than 4 million pixels, making it the largest in the Major League Baseball.
Other recent design elements of Zhaoguang Technology include: Dodge Stadium in Los Angeles, California, LP Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, and some university facilities. Jerry Cifarelli, Chairman and CEO of ANC Sports Enterprises, said: "Cui Rui has designed the waterproof outdoor SMD to make the high-quality outdoor LED display reach the same level and reliability as the indoor LED display in every place, helping to change. industry."
The innovative LED outdoor display market is still the goal pursued by Cree. Liu Erzhuang, general manager of Cree's high-brightness LED business unit, said: "We are very pleased to have cooperated with Zhaoguang Technology. We look forward to continuing to meet the demanding market with great demand based on this result; combining high-quality full-color video And in large and even mega-sized outdoor displays, our SMD LEDs have proven to be the leading solution."
