LED can be seamlessly embedded in the fabric of a different style of beauty

OSRAM LED makes Forster Rohner products show a different style

Swiss Forster Rohner AG fabric innovation department with OSRAM's PointLED to allow the fabric to shine. These products are covered with built-in LED curtains, lampshades and haute couture. PointLED is a circular light source, can be properly integrated into the fabric. LED's application in this new and unusual field once again proves that the use of a small light emitting diode is very broad, with little or no restrictions, and is not limited to general lighting, industrial lighting or automotive lighting.

Round, compact, perforated assembly

The most obvious difference between PointLED and conventional SMT-LED is its circular package. Because of this, it can be perfectly fitted into the standard socket on the smallest printed circuit board. The perfect, flat, perforated assembly, that is, the LED package "stealth" inside the printed circuit board, and the conventional LED components will be exposed to the surface of the circuit board. With a flat surface, other elements, such as a light guide, a controller, or a keyboard, are easily installed or connected. However, in terms of assembly, the OSRAM PointLED is very flexible, in addition to the perforated assembly technology, but also the use of standard surface mount (SMT) technology. PointLED specially designed for limited space applications, so its packaging diameter of only 2mm, the overall height of only 0.775mm. The reflector itself is only 0.5mm high, can also be well embedded in a thin printed circuit board or fabric.

New technology allows LED seamless embedded fabric

Using specially developed e-broidery (electronic embroidery) technology, Forster Rohner fabric innovation department can seamlessly embed the OSRAM PointLED into the fabric. The company is the first successful use of industrial production process will be embedded into the fabric of the active light, and does not affect the basic characteristics of the fabric should be, such as water resistance, surface feel or drape. At the same time, embedded LED faces special challenges. "It is clear that the fabric of the Forster Rohner is designed to be cleaned," said Thomas, a project manager at OSRAM's semiconductor headquarters in. PointLED is very durable, long life, it is suitable for a long time in outdoor use, moreover, PointLED color diversity, and Forster Rohner in color collocation is quite handy. Forster Rohner embedded in the first batch of OSRAM PointLED products have been listed in the near future. It has a wide range of applications, not only for interior design, fashion design, but also for advertising materials.
