©2007 Commercial Refrigerator Door Company History of LEDs In the early 20th century, scientists noted a semiconductor junction would produce light The first LED was created in the mid-1920s Developments in the 1950s led to the creation of an infrared LED, which produced light invisible to the human eye The General Electric Company developed the first practical visible- spectrum LED in 1962

©2007 Commercial Refrigerator Door Company History of LEDs Originally, small size, ruggedness and low power consumption made LEDs a great choice for indicator light applications, but not for general illumination: Automotive taillights, cell phone keypad backlighting, traffic signals, illuminated signage, camera flash and accent lighting

©2007 Commercial Refrigerator Door Company History of LEDs First white LEDs were created by combining red, green and blue LEDs In 1993, white light was produced from a single diode –Much less expensive for the amount of light generated New LED technology provides increased light output, long life, dramatic energy savings and offers a viable alternative to incandescent and fluorescent lights

©2007 Commercial Refrigerator Door Company What are LEDs? Solid-state lighting Light is emitted from a solid object (a block of semiconductor) rather than a vacuum or gas tube, as with incandescent bulbs and fluorescent lamps Produce a narrow spectrum of monochromatic light using little power Energy efficient, durable and long-lasting

©2007 Commercial Refrigerator Door Company Basic LED Components LED Chip: semiconductor diode that permits current to flow in only one direction and generates light Lead frame: holds the chip and extends out of the package to provide electrical connection Colored or shaped epoxy resin: encapsulates the LED package and directs the light outward

©2007 Commercial Refrigerator Door Company How does the LED emit light? A chip of semiconducting material is impregnated (doped), with impurities to create a p-n (positive-negative) junction (indium, gallium and nitrogen, or InGaN, in white LEDs) P side contains excess positive charge (holes, or the absence of electrons) N side contains excess negative charge (electrons)

©2007 Commercial Refrigerator Door Company How does the LED emit light? When voltage is applied to the semiconducting element forming the p-n junction: Electrons move from the N area towards the P area Holes move from the P area toward the N area Near the junction, the electrons and holes combine, releasing photons with visible wavelengths, or light

©2007 Commercial Refrigerator Door Company The Fluorescent Dilemma Interior case lighting accounts for 21% to 26% of the electricity required to operate refrigerated display cases Each year 600 million fluorescent lamps are disposed of in US landfills, releasing mercury into the environment It only takes 4mg of mercury to contaminate 7,000 gallons of fresh water 30,000 pounds of mercury is thrown away in fluorescent bulbs every year enough to pollute every body of water in North America.

©2007 Commercial Refrigerator Door Company Lighting Research Center Study Two refrigerated display cases, one with fluorescent lighting and the other with an LED system, were placed side-by-side in a laboratory setting –Study subjects strongly preferred the display case with LED lighting – Lighting distribution, not brightness or color of light, had the most impact on peoples preference

©2007 Commercial Refrigerator Door Company Fluorescent delivers a wide range of luminance on the shelf, between 500 and 2,800 lux LEDs deliver a much more uniform profile to the shelf Lighting Distribution

©2007 Commercial Refrigerator Door Company Due to the directional nature of LED light emission, more of the light output hits the target it is intended to illuminate Up to 95% of the illumination ends up at the desired point on the work surface Significant glare reduction The product is the STAR! Product Visibility

©2007 Commercial Refrigerator Door Company Energy Consumption Less watts needed to illuminate a case: >43% for a T8 58W electronic system on a 5-door case (41W/door) – 60% vs. HO – 78% vs. VHO LED systems range from 30W to 45W per door Wattage to Drive Lighting System 5-door case
