Future development of the maximum luminance of LEDs

There’s a new Osram LED family, Ostar Projection Power.
There are single emitters as well as 2~~, 4~~ and 6- die arrays.
The dies are 2 mm². Single die variants have lower thermal resistance than Boost HX.

So far there are only:

  • amber
  • green
  • blue
  • deep blue

colours available.
So no apples to apples comparison, Boost is only white and these are only colour. They offer higher currents (12A pulsed for blue compared to 8A of Boost HX) but at least a part of the increase is the fact that it comes without phosphor.

So….white may come eventually and beat the current luminance records. Or it may not.
I fantasize about applying some high CRI phosphor over them to make a gorgeous thrower…but that’s far out of my limits. :wink:
