Osram Opto Semiconductors has made two recent packaged LED announcements — the Ceramos C chip-scale package (CSP)-based LED family intended for flash applications, and the new Osconiq brand that will comprise mid-power LEDs intended for architectural and horticultural lighting. The Ceramos C LEDs have a tiny footprint, enabling easy integration into smartphones or tablets. The Osconiq mid-power LEDs are packaged like high-power devices and will come in a variety of colors as well as white.

　　The Ceramos family is not new. Osram has offered flash-centric LEDs in that family for some time. But the prior LEDs were packaged on a ceramic substrate and included a low-profile primary optic in a typical footprint of 1.74×2.14 mm. The new CSP product has a 1.4×1.4-mm footprint and stands just 0.21 mm high with no primary optic. Osram said the new LED is 3× shallower than the prior LEDs yet delivers the same output from the smaller size.
