Nichia Launches White LED "NS2W806H-B2" Featuring Blue/Green Chips
Tokushima, Japan – 23 January 2025, Nichia, the world's largest LED manufacturer and inventor of the high-brightness blue and white LED, is launching a white LED (Part No. NS2W806H-B2) designed for LCD backlighting. This product adds a new green chip in addition to the existing blue chip, resulting in a configuration that combines both blue and green within a single package.
For LEDs used in LCD backlighting, it is common to achieve white light by combining a blue chip with green and red phosphors. However, due to the significant performance improvements in Nichia's green chip, the NS2W806H-B2 uses a green chip instead of the green phosphor, enabling a white LED with a peaky and narrow green spectrum.
The peaky and narrow green spectrum is highly compatible with color filters, resulting in improved efficiency as an LCD module. Additionally, it enables a wider color reproduction not only for green but also for red. This innovation allows for both wide color gamut and high brightness/low power consumption without any trade-off, while also ensuring reliability.
With this groundbreaking technology, Nichia expects to contribute to the development of next-generation visual devices such as monitors that require beautiful color reproduction, mobile displays that demand both low power consumption and wide color reproduction, and automotive displays requiring high reliability and visibility, all of which conventional backlight technology has faced challenges in the past.
Nichia continues to develop products that are useful to society.
