Light boards. These boards are
designed to make manufacturing and final assembly more efficient by providing a single
panel that replaces multiple block LED assemblies. The custom LED arrays are available in
several colors, including white, blue, green, light green, red, amber, orange and more. By
varying the type and number of LEDs used, brightness levels can be specified. Mixed colors
also are available. Typical applications include back lighting, front lighting and edge
lighting. Lumina Electronics Inc, Lake Forest, CA.
Metal halide lighting system. The
175 watt Uni-Form pulse start system suits applications such as security, low-bay
industrial sites, parking garages and retail settings. It offers a high lumen-per-watt
pulse start lamp with greater light output, longer life, and better maintained lumens than
the standard pinched body 175 watt metal halide lamp. The pulse start lamp also provides
50% longer life (15,000 hours) and 25% more initial lumens than the standard lamp. Venture
Lighting, Solon, OH.
Light pipe families. Five new light pipe families have been
added to this company's comprehensive light pipe offering, providing a very large
selection of standard off-the-shelf light pipe products as well as custom solutions for
unique requirements. The new families include the flexible light pipe series, vertical and
panel mount series, surface mount series, and LP5-1000 series. They all protect circuits
from accidental electrostatic discharge (ESD) by isolating the PCB from potential contact.
Bivar Inc, Irvine, CA. 
Axial LED lamps. The BL-X series
features a low package profile, selection of axial lead styles, and wide viewing angles of
55° (diffused lens) and 35° (water clear lens). Lamps are packaged in industry-standard
Gull Wing, Z-Bend, and Yoke Lead styles. The Gull Wing series' small, thin design is ideal
for handheld instruments and cell phones, while the Z-Bend series is used in security
alarm indicators and push-button switch applications. American Bright
Optoelectronics Corp, Brea, CA.
Photodiodes. This company has
introduced a smaller, lower cost detector to its line of Large Area Avalanche Photodiodes
(LAAPDs). The 3mm diameter 581 series offers faster response and lower dark current than
the company's larger LAAPDs, while preserving all other performance benefits. These
include high gain (200), superior quantum efficiency, wide spectral response and large
dynamic range. Advanced Photonix Inc, Camarillo, CA. 
Panel indicator lights. The Series 150 incandescent lights come in
red and blue and quickly mount with a stay-put fit by using unique, serrated-design
retention "fingers." These units offer high reflectivity brightness, ensuring
positive identification. Versatile lenses can be hot-stamped with custom legends and icons
ranging from temperature to oil temperature, plus a variety of directional arrows. Typical
applications include automotive and mobile equipment and industrial machinery. ITW
Switches, Harwood Heights, IL. 
Photo modules. The HRM series photo modules are miniaturized
receivers and infrared remote control systems. Pin diode preamplifiers are assembled on
the lead frame. The device has the photo detector and amplifier packaged together. It can
filter the interference from visible light, and the demodulated output signal can be
decoded directly by a microprocessor. Features include high reliability, high sensitivity,
large transmission range and more. LEDopto, Aliso Viejo, CA. 
DC to AC inverter. The DMB series of closed-loop inverters is
designed to provide reliable, highly efficient power for backlighting large LCDs with up
to four cold cathode fluorescent tubes (CCFTs). Power efficiency with the DMB series is as
high as 90%. Brightness can also be controlled while remaining "flicker free"
throughout the entire range. The series features an optimized form factor for direct
display connection to popular 17- and 18-in. flat panel displays. Endicott Research
Group (ERG) Inc, Endicott, NY. 
Flat-response fluid (FRF) LCD. The LM4047 low-profile display
uses FRF that provides stable contrast (without adjustment) over its operating temperature
range. This feature is particularly beneficial where the ambient temperature around the
display is likely to change. The use of FRF eliminates the need for temperature
compensation circuitry or manual adjustment of the contrast voltage commonly used on most
LCD displays. Densitron Corp, Santa Fe Springs, CA.
