ROHM develop AF with LED LEDSML-L1 and SML-J1

The semiconductor manufacturer ROHM Corporation recently to meet strong demand to small and lightweight digital camera and digital camera market, developed a large output power AF assist light with surface mount lens LEDSML-L1 series (side type) and SML-J1 series (top view type).

The two series of products have been supplied from November 2008 (sample price of 100 yen /), scheduled from the beginning of January 2009, respectively, to the size of the monthly production of 1 million batches. Production arrangement in ROHM-WAKO ELECTRONICS MALAYSIA (Malaysia).

Digital cameras and digital cameras are moving towards the direction of small, thin, the use of automatic focusing function when the focus is used as auxiliary light source of LED is usually required to be small, thin. Moreover, the longitudinal type digital camera as the auxiliary light device, and the circuit board must instead of horizontally light, and the original product line LED, the pin axis and to make part of the curved horizontal direction coincide. However, this requires the use of manual welding, so I hope to appear with the stick side type supporting and packing surface can use automatic reflow, lens LED new products.

ROHM development of the automatic focusing auxiliary light with large output power surface mount LEDSML-L1 series using ROHM precision machining technology, is the industry's leading side looking products. Also, the top view of the SML-J1 series height of 4.5mm, is the industry's ultra-thin products. These products should help the user to achieve device thinning and design freedom.

In addition, these two series are a new type of high brightness components, luminous intensity reached the industry-leading level (20mA 28cd). Moreover, the lens and frame shape optimal design, the pointing angle control to 8 degrees, the direction of ultra narrow; the optical axis deviation is also controlled to + 3 degrees, is a kind of high precision AF assist light with LED.

The different series of products in the entire series of luminous colors as the largest demand for auxiliary orange, as well as red, yellow, yellow green, pure green, as well as the use of infrared light at night.
