Space-Saving Device Delivers Luminous Intensity to 252 mcd at 5 mA, Enables Every Color Within the Gamut Triangle Inside the CIE 1931 Color Space

MALVERN, Pa., March 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new tricolor LED that provides luminous intensity to 252 mcd at 5 mA for RGB displays and backlighting. Featuring common anode and separate cathode connections for the red, true green, and blue LED chips inside its compact 1.0 mm by 1.0 mm by 0.65 mm 0404 surface-mount package, the VLMRGB1500… enables individual control of each chip, making it possible to realize every color within the color room defined by the gamut triangle area inside the CIE 1931 color space through color mixing.

With its wide color range, the Vishay Semiconductors LED released today is ideal for switch illumination, status indicators, and dashboard signal and symbol illumination in micro-mobility, energy storage, and industrial applications; full-color message and video display boards; keyboard illumination in computers; backlighting in consumer devices, home appliances, and telecom equipment; and a wide range of accent and decorative lighting. For these applications, the device utilizes the latest high brightness AllnGaP and InGaN technologies in a package that is 70 % smaller than the PLCC-4.

The VLMRGB1500… provides high reliability over a temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C, offers a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 3, and withstands ESD voltages up to 2 kV for red and 1 kV for blue and green in accordance with JESD22-A114-B. RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green, the device is compatible with IR reflow soldering and categorized per reel for luminous intensity and color. The VLMRGB1500… is fully compatible with competing devices, enabling a direct replacement without requiring modifications to the PCB layout or driving circuitry.
