FusionBeam™ Technology: Enabling A New Generation of Information Signage

Cree LED’s patented FusionBeam™ Technology is a breakthrough for the LED signage market that 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. FusionBeam-enabled signs can now display icons, photos, logos and even video, providing unparalleled versatility for signage beyond basic text and shapes.

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

Unlike traditional through-hole LEDs that suffer from low resolution and poor color blending, FusionBeam Technology LEDs deliver 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.

• Signs can now display icons, photos, logos and even video for unprecedented versatility
  • Easier to understand for all reading abilities
  • Improved branding and picture quality

Full-Color Brilliance with Unmatched Color Blending

FusionBeam Technology LEDs seamlessly blend individual RGB LED dies into a single, uniform color, delivering vivid, accurate colors to the intended audience. 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. FusionBeam Technology LEDs provide true-to-life colors visible from all angles, enhancing image quality even at close distances.

Enhanced Directionality: Targeted Daytime Visibility

FusionBeam Technology 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.

• 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

High Reliability SMD Package

FusionBeam LEDs combine 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, these LEDs deliver 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 FusionBeam Technology LEDs:
  • Single package per pixel
  • Minimal potting requirements
  • High reliability in various environments
  • Compatible with pick-and-place and reflow soldering assembly
