Description
Cree's UB™ series of UltraBright™ LEDs combine highly efficient InGaN materials with Cree's
proprietary G⋅SiC substrate to deliver excellent price performance for high intensity blue and green
LEDs. UltraBright LED chips are available in a geometrically enhanced vertical structure or a straight-
wall design for use in reflector-less applications such as ChipLEDs. Both require only a single wire
bond connection. Sorted Die Kits provide die sheets conveniently sorted into wavelength and radiant
flux bins. Cree's UB series chips are tested for conformity to optical and electrical specifications and
the ability to withstand 1000V ESD. These LEDs are useful in a broad range of applications such as
outdoor and indoor full motion LED video signs, transportation signaling and white LEDs, yet can also
be used in high volume applications such as LCD backlighting. Cree's UB series chips are compatible
with most radial and SMT LED assembly processes.
