May 19, 2003—Toshiba America Electronic Components (TEAC) Inc. has added bluish green and reddish purple to the colors of its line of high luminosity light emitting diodes (LEDs). Based on technology used in the company’s original white LEDs, these new devices provide a low-power, stable light source ideal for use in instrument panels and other lighting applications.
The devices have a luminosity of between 70 and 100 millicandela at 20mA, and their operating temperature is -40 to 100 degrees Celsius.
Samples of the bluish green (TLBGA1100) LED and reddish purple (TLRPA1100) LED are available for $1.00 by contacting TEAC. For technical inquiries, e-mail Toshiba technical assistance.
