The SIDELED series, from Osram Opto Semiconductors, is a highly reliable side emitting range of LEDs.The SIDELED devices have optical characteristics for backlighting (optical coupling into light pipes). As a right angled SMT LED with an integrated reflector, the SIDELED series also offers a homogenous viewing angle. Suitable applications for Osram’s SIDELED LEDs include backlighting (LCD, cellular phones, switches, keys, displays, illuminated advertising, general lighting), coupling into light guides, signal and symbol luminaire, interior automotive lighting (e.g. dashboard backlighting), marker lights (e.g. steps, exit ways).
