OSRAM's first LED using quantum dot-light conversion technology is available

Today, LED technology has become a "relatively common" technology. It is hard to imagine where LED technology can achieve innovation and progress, and what changes can be made to society and life. However, for the optical field expert OSRAM, LED technology still has a lot of room for development, and the use of new light conversion technology can make LEDs still have excellent performance under high color rendering index.

After significant efforts in research and development, OSRAM has launched the new medium power LED Osconiq S3030 QD. This is OSRAM's first LED using quantum dot-light conversion technology, developed for regional lighting and downlight applications, to give lamps more efficient and superior color rendering.

Osconiq S 3030 QD is Osram's first quantum dot technology-based LED.

So what is a quantum dot?

Quantum Dot (QD) is a nanometer-sized semiconductor particle. The size of the QD particle determines the color of the spectrum that is excited by the blue LED light when it is irradiated to these nanoparticles. For example, QD particles with a size of about 3 nanometers produce green light, while those of about 7 nanometers emit red light. This innovative tunable optical conversion technology is now being used for the first time in OSSOL's Osconiq S 3030 QD power LEDs, and marks the first step in new LED components for the general lighting market.

For developers using traditional phosphor conversion technology, while maintaining a high color rendering index (CRI) while ensuring high efficiency and high quality, it faces difficult development limitations. The biggest advantage of using nanoparticles is that the existing LED manufacturing process can be kept unchanged, and only the quantum dots can directly replace the traditional phosphors when applying the conversion materials. However, due to the strict requirements on the particle size and consistency of the phosphors of quantum dot technology, there are currently high-tech thresholds including materials, equipment, processes and patents. Osram has an internationally patented high-efficiency quantum dot phosphor that is a leader in this technology.

More than a year ago, OSRAM acquired PLT (Pacific Light Technology), a leading company in the development and manufacture of high performance optical nanomaterials. PLT's quantum dot technology enables OSRAM to begin to reduce the performance gap between current CRI 80 LEDs and CRI 90 LEDs, and its special packaging technology enables quantum dots to reliably control the harsh operating conditions of the LED chip's internal chip. The encapsulated quantum dots are protected from humidity and other external factors that are most likely to pose a risk to the functionality of the LED.

The birth of the new Osconiq S 3030 QD will revolutionize the application of indoor regional lighting (such as classrooms, offices, supermarkets, etc.), which will greatly improve the high color rendering index (CRI 90+). Lighting efficiency, which improves the manufacturer's ability to sacrifice the color rendering index due to prioritized light effects. In the future, more users will be able to enjoy more comfortable and energy-efficient lighting with high light efficiency and high color rendering index due to the promotion of this technology.

Osconiq S 3030 QD can be used in commercial lighting fixtures to ensure superior performance even under high CRI conditions.
