CV28 LEDs with FusionBeam™ Technology

FusionBeam™ Technology: Enabling A New Generation of Information Signage

Cree LED introduces its patented FusionBeam™ Technology – a breakthrough for the LED signage market. This technology powers the new CV28D-FCC LED, which merges the benefits of through-hole and surface-mount (SMD) RGB LED technology for superior directionality, image quality and resolution in an easy-to-assemble package. This innovation delivers unmatched clarity and contrast, marking a significant advancement in display technology. With high resolution, CV28D-enabled signs can now display icons, photos, logos and even video, providing unparalleled versatility for signage beyond basic text and shapes. 

FusionBeam™ Technology: A No-Compromise Solution for LED Signage

Delivering High Resolution Signs & Displays: Improved Messaging with Clear Benefits 

Unlike traditional through-hole LEDs that suffer from low resolution and poor color blending, the CV28D delivers 2.5 times the resolution, comparable to upgrading from standard definition 480p to full HD 1080p. Its dark black package enhances contrast, producing crisper text and sharper images, while its slim 4.3 mm height enables the design of thinner, lighter signs.

• CV28D-enabled signs can now display icons, photos, logos and even video
• Unprecedented versatility for signs that can currently only display text or simple shapes
  • Easier to understand for all reading abilities
  • Improved branding and picture quality

Full-Color Brilliance with Unmatched Color Blending

Powered by FusionBeam Technology, the CV28D seamlessly blends individual RGB LED dies into a single, uniform color, delivering vivid, accurate colors to the intended audience. Its color uniformity is up to 18 times better than standard RGB SMD signage LEDs, which only maintain color consistency in one direction – either side-to-side or up-to-down. With FusionBeam Technology, the CV28D provides true-to-life colors visible from all angles, enhancing image quality even at close distances.

Enhanced Directionality: Targeted Daytime Visibility

CV28D LEDs feature advanced directionality, precisely directing light toward the intended viewer while reducing light trespass and pollution by up to four times compared to standard RGB SMD LEDs. This targeted output provides clearer, brighter displays without misdirecting light on the sky, ground or neighboring buildings, making it ideal for areas with strict light pollution regulations.

High Nit Levels for Daytime Visibility

• Normal RGB SMD LEDs spread light out in all forward directions
  • Leads to lower sign nit levels
  • Wider viewing angle may be desired for some applications
• CV28D LEDs concentrate light output straight out
  • Increases the sign nit levels

Estimated Nit Levels, CV28D-FCC at 20 mA

Targeted Output

• The focused output of the CV28D-FCC puts over two times more of the LED’s output on the target vs standard RGB SMD LEDs
• The focused output of the CV28D-FCC reduces light trespass and pollution to four times lower than standard RGB SMD LEDs

High Reliability SMD Package

The CV28D LED combines the advantages of SMD signage LEDs – such as easy assembly, one LED package per pixel and IP68-rated dustproof and waterproof durability. Perfect for applications from roadways, retail spaces, sports scoreboards and lobbies, the CV28D delivers long-lasting performance in any setting. Whether outdoors or in high-traffic areas, it provides dependable, high-quality results, backed by Cree LED’s trusted durability.

Benefits of the CV28D LED:

• Single package per pixel
• Minimal potting requirements
• High reliability in various environments
• Compatible with pick-and-place and reflow soldering assembly

CV28D LEDs with FusionBeam Technology usher in a new era of high-resolution information displays. This next-generation signage ensures full-color brilliance, making branding for businesses, schools, churches, and public spaces vivid and eye-catching. Enhanced with iconography, these displays also improve accessibility, delivering clear communication for people of all reading abilities.
