EDISON OPTO Launches SMART RGB LED Series

EDISON OPTO’s SMART RGB LED provides a more friendly color control solution. 16-bit PWM and 6-bit GBC can present a smoother color change mode. At the same time, the built-in temperature compensation mode is more convenient for color management. The integrated low EMI architecture driver IC solution solves the EMI design certification problem!

Elevating Automotive Lighting to the Next Level

With over 20 years of expertise in LED design and manufacturing, EDISON OPTO has been dedicated to delivering industry-leading LED development and OEM/ODM services. EDISON OPTO is thrilled to announce the launch of its groundbreaking SMART RGB LED Series. This advanced automotive LED packaging sets a new benchmark in lighting design, offering exceptional brightness and performance that will redefine automotive lighting applications.

Next-Generation Brightness, Redefined

The new SMART RGB LED Series offers double the brightness of conventional LEDs in its class. Featuring a high-performance 3-chip design, each channel supports up to 60mA of current, enabling a pre-calibrated luminance at Daylight 6500K to reach up to 4000mcd—a 53% increase compared to similar LED products. This enhanced light output ensures consistent, high-intensity performance across a wide range of automotive applications. Beyond its exceptional brightness, the EDISON OPTO SMART RGB LED features not only powerful light output but also advanced RGB color control capabilities. This functionality allows manufacturers and designers to tailor lighting effects to the unique specifications of various vehicle models. By offering dynamic color variation and personalization, the SMART RGB LED empowers automakers to enhance the visual identity of their vehicles and elevate the overall driving experience.

Embedded IC Design for Intelligent Color Control

The SMART RGB LED IC integrates a temperature sensor to continuously monitor changes in junction temperature (Tj) and adjust for temperature compensation. This intelligent adjustment mechanism ensures consistent color accuracy under fluctuating light changes, while enabling precise dynamic color control to enhance vehicle aesthetics during both daytime and nighttime driving.

Leveraging a next-generation embedded IC architecture, the SMART RGB LED features a 16-bit high-density color mode per channel, a low EMI optimized structure, and IP-free compatibility with major MCUs, maximum data transmission speed up to 15 Mb/s—delivers computational efficiency and flexible design. This advanced functionality enables precise light rendering across a variety of automotive lighting scenarios, making it an ideal solution for applications such as starry skylights and interior light guides.

Durability and Reliability

In addition to its superior brightness, the EDISON OPTO SMART RGB LED Series is engineered for long-lasting reliability. Featuring an 8-pin mounting bracket and dual-channel driver IC, it utilizes anti-sulfurization materials to effectively resist critical environmental impacts, ensuring consistent performance over time while helping reduce maintenance costs for vehicle owners. As a trusted leader in the LED industry, EDISON OPTO has subjected the SMART RGB LED Series to rigorous verification and validation processes to ensure compliance with AEC-Q100 and AEC-Q102 automotive-grade standards*. The SMART RGB LED series also maintains precise color temperature consistency, meeting the high-performance standards demanded by premium vehicle manufacturers.

Innovating the Future of Automotive Lighting

EDISON OPTO, as a well-known LED manufacture steps forward to its 2nd decades, continues to prioritize innovation and quality. The introduction of the SMART RGB LED Series for automotive applications is set to bring a new generation of lighting solutions to the automotive sector. Whether for creating personalized lighting effects or enhancing vehicle safety, this new series offers the perfect solution. EDISON OPTO remains committed to advancing LED technology, delivering safer, more efficient, and highly customizable automotive lighting experiences for tier-1 and tier-2 worldwide.
