Osram Opto Semiconductors at Electronica 2004:
A brilliant presence
Osram Opto Semiconductors is putting on a brilliant show at this year’s Electronica fair. Not only is it presenting a number of new products, the stand itself is a real highlight. Lit entirely by LEDs, it glistens with fascinating effects and atmospheric pools of light.
The light comes from white and coloured spotlights of various sizes, equipped with high-power Golden Dragon light emitting diodes. Canvases on which star shapes appear in ever-changing colours are the first things that attract the attention of visitors. The colourful effects are provided by six coloured spotlights each with twelve LEDs in red, blue and green accommodated in a special arrangement on a pc board. Special optics, normally used in traffic lights, enhances the effect still further. And staying a respectable distance in the background but certainly not to be missed are the 70 spotlights each with 24 white LEDs that provide the background lighting for the stand. The conference rooms and the kitchen area are pleasantly lit by eleven small spotlights, also equipped with white LEDs. “We thought we’d demonstrate just how good our LEDs by using them to light our own stand. The requirements were high but our new high brightness products were certainly equal to the task”, said Dr. Rüdiger Müller, CEO of Osram Opto Semiconductors.
For the trade fair, LED experts at Osram Opto Semiconductors converted conventional stage spotlights to take LEDs. The LEDs are mounted on metallic core boards and attached to a heat sink. This means that although the spotlights were not originally designed for LEDs, the heat generated could be reliably dissipated.
The stand lighting concept is just one example of how light emitting diodes can be used at trade fairs. LEDs provide pleasant background lighting and open up a wide range of possibilities for creating impressive lighting effects. They are available in all colours, extremely durable and very bright. These miniature sources of light can be used in various spotlights and luminaires, and are inspiring lighting designers to produce some imaginative creations.
