Osram Opto Semiconductors' infrared Mini Midled is only 0.9mm high, but this small device produces a narrow angle and strong infrared beam. With its radiant intensity of 60 milliwatts per milliwatt per steradian (mW/sr) per 100 milliamperes (mA), performance can easily outperform other equivalent devices. This low-profile surface is followed by a transmitter that is particularly suitable for use as a proximity sensor and as a light barrier in space constraints.
The advantage of the new Mini Midled is that it has a half angle of 17°, produces a narrow beam of light and has a radiation intensity of 60 mW/sr at 100 mA. This performance is achieved because the product concentrates light using a metallized reflector integrated into the device. Although the new LED is very small, it is only 2.3 x 1.95 x 0.9 mm, but its output power is quite high.
Mini Midled is the second surface mount device in the Molded Interconnected Device (MID) technology of OSRAM Opto Semiconductors. This new packaging technology allows OSRAM to reduce the height of the new IR emitter to less than one mm, but ensures that the new device can be processed in the usual way.
A small but powerful infrared emitting diode with a wavelength of 850 nm, such as the slim narrow beam Mini Midled, can be of great benefit in applications where space is limited but high emission intensity is required. Common applications include light barriers, smart phones, and optical touch screens.
Osram said that the Mini Midled is particularly suitable for use as a proximity sensor in smart phones and similar devices because it takes up very little space but provides powerful power. Due to its compact design, it can also reduce the optical mutual interference noise, without using light shielding.
The sensor combines a transmitter with a detector that illuminates an approaching object, and the detector receives light reflected from the object. For the proximity sensor to function properly, it is important that the light emitted by the transmitter should not be sent directly to the detector (this is called mutual interference noise). This usually occurs when a metallized reflector is not installed in the device. But if you have a Mini Midled, you don't need to use shadowing, and the overall design will be simpler.
