Cree Inc. (Durham, NC) is unveiling the industry's first multichip MC-E LED with red, green, blue and white chips in a single package. It is also pairing new LED chip innovations with its XLamp XP-E package to deliver a high performance family of discrete, high-power, color LEDs.

The XLamp MC-E combines white, red, green and blue LED chips in a single component to provide design flexibility for color-changing LED applications that require high flux from a small lighting source, such as entertainment and architectural lighting.

The XLamp XP-E color LEDs provide up to 22% more flux than the existing XLamp XR color portfolio, with an 80% smaller footprint. The XP color portfolio is available in flux bins, at 350mA, up to: Royal Blue: 500mW; Blue: 39.8 lumens; Green: 107 lumens; Amber: 56.8 lumens; Red: 56.8 lumens.

Compared to the current XLamp XR color LEDs, space between the LED die can be reduced by 75% with the new XLamp XP-E color LEDs and 94% with the new XLamp MC-E color LED. This reduction in spacing can allow better color mixing and shadow reduction for color-based applications, including decorative, architectural and entertainment lighting. Cree is sampling the MC-E and XP-E color LEDs, with production quantities targeted for Q3 calendar 2009.
