Breakthrough CV28D LEDs with Patented FusionBeam™ Technology

First LED in the Industry to Combine the Best of Through-Hole and SMD Technologies to Deliver Unmatched Clarity and Contrast.

Cree LED, a Penguin Solutions brand (Nasdaq: PENG), today announced the launch of its new CV28D LEDs with FusionBeam™ Technology, a groundbreaking advancement for the LED signage market. The CV28D LED combines the best of through-hole and surface-mount (SMD) RGB LED technology, delivering superior directionality, image quality and resolution in a robust, easy-to-assemble package. This innovation marks a major leap forward for information displays, providing unmatched clarity and contrast. With this high resolution, CV28D-enabled signs can now display icons, photos, logos and even video, bringing unprecedented versatility to signs that can currently only display text or simple shapes.

FusionBeam Technology: Full-Color Brilliance, Enhanced Directionality

At the heart of the CV28D’s performance, FusionBeam Technology simultaneously blends individual RGB LED dies into a single, uniform color and then sends it only to the intended audience. Color non-uniformity is up to 18 times better than existing RGB SMD signage LEDs, which previously could only achieve consistent color uniformity in one direction—either side-to-side or up-to-down. Using FusionBeam Technology, CV28D delivers vivid, accurate colors in all directions, elevating image quality even at close distances.

The CV28D LEDs also feature advanced directionality, focusing light precisely where it’s needed – on the intended viewer – while reducing light trespass and pollution to four times lower than standard RGB SMD LEDs. With this new technology, CV28D LEDs ensure clearer, brighter displays without misdirecting light to the sky, ground or neighboring buildings, making it ideal for areas with strict light pollution regulations.

Unrivaled Image Quality and Resolution: A New Era for Information Signs

Compared to traditional through-hole LEDs, which struggle with low resolution and poor color blending, the CV28D enables displays with 2.5 times the resolution, equivalent to the leap from standard definition 480p to full HD 1080p video. The dark black package of the CV28D enhances contrast, delivering crisper text and sharper images than ever before, and the slim design, at just 4.3 mm in height, allows for the creation of thinner, lighter signs.

CV28D LEDs also retain all the advantages of SMD signage LEDs, including ease of assembly, one LED package per pixel and IP68-rated dustproof and waterproof reliability. This makes them ideal for a wide range of applications, including roadways, retail environments, sports scoreboards, poolside installations, lobbies and interior facades. Whether exposed to the elements or installed in high-traffic public areas, CV28D LEDs deliver long-lasting performance with Cree LED’s renowned reliability and quality.

CV28D LEDs with FusionBeam Technology enable a new era of high-resolution information displays. This new generation of signs ensures that branding for businesses, schools, churches and public spaces appears in full-color brilliance. The use of iconography also improves accessibility, ensuring clear communication for people of all reading abilities.

Cree LED Video Expertise

“We are proud to introduce the CV28D LEDs with FusionBeam Technology, the first LED solution to truly bridge the gap between through-hole and SMD technologies in the LED signage market,” said Joe Clark, President of Cree LED. “By combining the best qualities of both, CV28D enables signage manufacturers to create displays with higher resolution, better directionality and improved durability, all while reducing light pollution. FusionBeam Technology LEDs represent the next frontier for LED information signs, and we’re excited to see how our customers leverage our technology in their future designs.”
