As a global manufacturer and industry leader in LED epitaxy, chip, package, LED lighting solutions, compound semiconductor materials, power devices and RF, Cree is based on the summary of the development of LED technology. In 2013, it took the lead in proposing the concept of high-density LED technology, and fully developed high-density LED technology and products, and continued to lead the LED lighting revolution through persistent innovation. Cree pointed out that LED packaging devices, which are the core components of LED lighting, will move toward smaller and smaller sizes and higher performance. Cree defines LED package device performance/LED device size as OCF (Optical Control Factor), which is a measure of the value that LED package devices bring to LED lighting manufacturers. When the optical control factor OCF is higher (the LED package device performance is higher, the LED package device size is smaller, or the LED package device performance is higher, the LED package device size is unchanged, or the LED package device performance is unchanged, the LED package device size is smaller) We will be able to achieve better performance and higher value in the unit size.
Breakthroughs in LED front-end technology will bring more space and opportunities for back-end lighting applications. High-density LED packaged devices with high optical control factor OCF bring significant value. First of all, LED package devices with small enough size and high enough performance can bring more creativity and space than ordinary LED package devices, thus challenging the traditional design concept, combined with intelligent lighting technology, will create emotional for LED lighting. The intelligent experience makes the product differentiated and occupies a high value-added territory. Light will no longer be just a simple lighting, it will be beyond lighting, it is no longer just a product, it will become a customized service to satisfy people's lives. When people use the portable tablet and smartphone to surf the Internet or communicate with friends and family network, will they still remember the 286, 386 computers that we thought were so advanced 20 years ago? In retrospect, the machines that used to be so mysterious are running so slowly, and the volume is so large. High-density LED packaged devices with high optical control factor OCF mean high return on investment. LED lighting manufacturers are able to achieve greater returns in the same physical space and optical counterparts. Due to the small size of the high-density LED package, a larger number of products can be arranged in the same physical space, and each product has higher performance, which can meet the needs of applications such as high lumen output. . This is like transforming a land with a fixed area of ​​old housing to build a high-rise building. In the same land area (same physical space), more tall buildings can be built (a larger number of high-performance products are arranged), which will bring higher returns to land developers (LED lighting manufacturers).
