Vishay Semiconductors VLMRGB1500 Multi Chip SMD RGB LED

Vishay Semiconductors VLMRGB1500 Multi Chip SMD RGB LED is a high-brightness tricolor LED designed primarily for RGB displays and backlights. It uses the popular PCB-based 0404 SMD package with a 120° emission characteristic. The 4-pin package with a common anode allows individual driving of each chip and thus a gapless coverage of a wide color space by additive color mixing. The Vishay Semiconductors VLMRGB1500 provides high reliability over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, using highly suitable blue-light-stable package materials.
