| New silicone materials for LED market Dow Corning Corporation has launched an expanded family of silicone materials for the fast-growing LED market. These materials provide brighter, longer-lasting LEDs in diverse applications, such as backlighting for mobile appliances and displays, cell phone camera flash, automotive interior and exterior lighting, and general illumination. Building on the company's existing product line of gels, elastomers and resins, Dow Corning's newest products include three new LED-protecting encapsulants - Dow Corning EG-6301, Dow Corning OE-6336, and Dow Corning JCR 6175 - and a new resin: Dow Corning SR-7010, a moldable material that combines the durability and transparency of a silicone to make hard discrete lenses and other components for LED applications. Each of these silicone-based materials enables surface mount assembly of LED devices using lead-free solder. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
