LED chip and component maker SemiLEDs Corp of Hsinchu Science Park, Taiwan has launched its new 'Enhanced Vertical' (EV) LED product series.

Founded in 2005, SemiLEDs’ manufactures proprietary blue, green and ultraviolet (UV) LED chips under the MvpLED (metal vertical photon LED) brand for sale mainly to chip-packaging customers in China, Taiwan and other parts of Asia such as Korea, or to distributors who sell to packagers. It also packages chips into LED components for sale to distributors and end-customers in selected markets (mainly for general lighting applications, including street lights and commercial, industrial and residential lighting, along with specialty industrial applications such as UV curing, medical/cosmetic, counterfeit detection, and horticulture).

The new device features SemiLEDs' vertical chip structure on a patented metal alloy substrate, offering advantages in optical output and high thermal conductivity, it is claimed. However, the EV LED has been designed to also have higher thermal endurance, ensuring better reliability at higher temperatures.

The EV LEDs are available for global sales and immediate sampling in blue, green and UV and chip sizes of 0.4mm x 0.4mm through 1.5mm x 1.5mm.
