Forge Europa builds its product range based upon a detailed knowledge of the design parameters and constraints of each LED system. Success depends on so many factors, including die selection, leadframe and packaging, circuit board design and application.
We understand the whole process, from wafer fabrication right up to the performance and aesthetic impact of the final product. Rigorous testing is essential to provide the best for our customers. So we've developed our Life Test Laboratory - one of Europe's most comprehensive in-house optoelectronic test and measurement facilities.
At the heart of the laboratory is a custom-built automated LED test and measurement system. This simultaneously logs Iv, Ir, λd, λp , and chromaticity, as well as plotting a host of other functions. Already we can generate more than 17 million hours of real-time test data each year.
We accurately measure LED junction temperature for different substrates, packages, modules and drive parameters, including pulse drives at various frequencies. Junction temperature influences luminous flux, lifetime, colour shift and efficacy, and is crucial when developing powerchip and RGB full colour modules.
This unique facility also measures spatial distribution and total luminous flux of discrete LEDs with great precision, as well as the intensity in cd/m2 of LED displays and cluster assemblies. The Life Test Laboratory provides vital information for a design team committed to total quality.
