Nichia Corporation

Nichia will exhibit at AHC 2023, the 4th Asian Horticultural Congress, held from August 28th to 31st in Tokyo, Japan. The AHC 2023 will bring together scientists and experts from around the world to discuss horticulture in Asia. 2023 is also the year of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Japan Society for Horticultural Science (JSHS), therefore, related events will be held during this period.

On August 29th and 30th, Nichia will exhibit and introduce Hortisolis™, white LEDs for horticulture. Hortisolis™ is an LED that incorporates all the light required for plant growth into a single package by elaborating a combination of phosphors, making it possible to increase the production efficiency per area of the artificial farm with maximum efficiency, while at the same time realizing a good working environment in the artificial farm.

The Direct Mountable Chip is a chip scale LED package which has been developed through Nichia's technology and expertise in phosphors and LEDs. The white series has four size options (1.1mm×1.1mm, 1.3mm×1.3mm, 1.7mm×1.7mm, and 2.1mm×2.1mm) with color temperatures ranging from 1800K to 6500K, and color rendering index options from R70 (Ra≥70) to R9080 (Ra≥90, R9≥80).

The color series offers a wide variety of discrete colors in two size options (1.1mm×1.1mm in three colors and 1.7mm×1.7mm in eight colors) with the same forward voltage for each size to allow for easier fixture design.

By making the LED package size equal to the light emitting surface size, it is possible to achieve the largest class of luminous flux density in a limited space within a luminaire.

What can be achieved with the Direct Mountable Chip?

• High luminous flux density enabling compact fixture design.
• A wide variety of power output options to support various applications.
• Compact light emission size provides optimal color mixing and this enables customers to design tunable and/or multi-color fixtures easily.
• Uniformed forward voltage in all colors makes electrical control easier.

Tokushima, Japan – 20 July 2023: Nichia, the world's largest LED manufacturer and inventor of high-brightness blue and white LEDs, is pleased to announce the additions of the E11A (1.1mm×1.1mm) Red, Brilliant Red and Green to its high luminous flux density Direct Mountable Chip portfolio.

The Direct Mountable Chip is a chip scale LED which has been developed through Nichia's technology and expertise in phosphors and LEDs. Its color series has already been commercialized in the larger E17A (1.7mm x 1.7mm), and has received a high reputation through their various key features, including a compact fixture design enabled by high luminous flux density, optimal color mixing provided by its compact light emission size, and uniformed forward voltage in all colors making electrical control easier. While maintaining the excellent characteristics of the Direct Mountable Chip, the E11A color series with a smaller size of 1.1mm x 1.1mm has now been added to the portfolio. In addition to landscape lighting, architectural lighting and indirect lighting, Nichia expects that this expansion of the color portfolio will provide flexibility for the fixture designs and contribute to expanding applications.

Additionally, Nichia plans to launch a blue version within 2023.

Nichia continues to develop products that are useful to society.
