The multichip technology is on the rise
It has been a long way from the use of fire as a light source by mankind to the invention and use of electrical light. It took several thousand years before Thomas Edison finally made the first step into a mass market with his version of the light bulb. Yet since then development has progressed ever more rapidly and opportunities are almost limitless; to such an extent that the outdated Edison bulb is becoming slowly but surely obsolete.
The light of LEDs, however, will probably continue to glow for a very long time. Although the technique only emerged at the end of the past millennium progress achieved until now is tremendous. At first it was problematic to display different colors but now the spearhead of the development comes forward and presents LEDs that can display all RGB colors. The tri-color LEDs (TCL) or multichip
LEDs. What are the advantages compared to standard LEDs?
TCLs combine the three RGB components in one housing, so that a homogenous color emerges via one lens – an elegant color effect is the result. The multichip technology, which brings the LEDs closer together, provides homogenous color mixtures even with short distances. This is a problem for many effects employing standard LEDs.
Moreover, if a lighting effect is equipped with TCLs the color saturation is higher compared to an RGB LED effect. Even if the power consumption is actually lower. An example can easily demonstrate that. We assume that two lighting effects (RGB + TCL) are equipped with 90 LEDs each. In order to create the color red, 30 red LEDs light on the RGB effect. On the TCL effect, however, 90 LEDs will light red. It is not surprising that the color density is higher even if the power is lower, is it? TCL effects also go strong when fading colors. The outlines are sharp at all times and no erratic cone of light can be seen.
Of course TCLs do not make sense everywhere and the conventional LED has its right to exist. But the example of the multichip technology clearly shows how far the technique has progressed. And one thing is for sure: development has not come to an end yet.
