Lamina Light Engines
As the market leader in the development and manufacture of super-bright LED
arrays, Lamina brings solid state lighting to applications which until now were
only possible with traditional lighting sources.
Lamina’s LED arrays are manufactured by combining high brightness LEDs from
industry-leading LED manufacturers with Lamina's proprietary packaging tech-
nology, multilayer Low Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic on Metal (LTCC-M). LTCC-M
is a breakthrough in thermal performance for LED packaging technology, a key
factor in determining LED life and reliability. Unmatched thermal performance
coupled with package interconnectivity allows Lamina to densely cluster multiple
LEDs to achieve exceptionally high luminous intensity in very small footprints.
Lamina’s arrays are available in white, RGB and monochrome, from 1W to
100W, and also are available in custom packages.

BL-3000 RGB+
Lamina's high power RGB+ LED arrays have independent color control for
dynamic or preset display of colors. Through additive color mixing there is
complete control of the various colors and white which can be displayed.
Lamina BL-3000 LED arrays are configured with 39 cavities, each populated
with multiple LEDs. In the RGB light engine each cavity contains multiple red,
green and blue LED die for optimal color uniformity, a unique feature made
possible with Lamina’s packaging technology.

ECOMMENDATIONS
Lamina’s BL-3000 Series is
configured with solder pads
compatible with Sn63 or Sn62
solder. As with many electrical
devices, non-acid RMA type sol-
der flux should be used to pre-
pare the solder pads before
application of solder. If wire
attachment is performed with a
soldering iron, care must be
taken to minimize heat transfer
to the die and minimize leach-
ing of the solderable pads.
A
SSEMBLY
R
ECOMMENDATIONS
Lamina's BL Series Light
Engines, are designed for
attachment to heatsinks with
conductive epoxy or screw
down for flange mount devices
with thermal grease in the
joint.
For attachment using screws, a
6-32 UNC fillister head slotted
machine screw, 18-8 SS is rec-
ommended. Maximum torque
is 4 inch pounds (45 newton
centimeter). Required flatness
of surface light engine is
mounted to is 0.001 inch/inch.

ECOMMENDATIONS
Lamina LED arrays provide effi-
cient transfer of heat from the
individual LED die to a cus-
tomer supplied heat sink. All
Lamina LED arrays must be
operated at or below 125ºC. A
heat sink must be attached to
the array with sufficient cooling
capacity to keep the die junc-
tion below 125ºC. The tempera-
ture rise from the array base to
the die junction may be deter-
mined by calculating the prod-
uct of the maximum package
thermal resistance and the
desired operating power level.

ECOMMENDATIONS
Lamina LED arrays project a
Lambertian radiation pattern,
with projection angles built into
the package cavity at approxi-
mately 125º. It will be neces-
sary for users to create an opti-
cal reflector and lens structure
that meets their light disper-
sion requirements. Please con-
tact Lamina Application

your optical needs.

UNCTION
T
EMPERATURE
Light output from LED die will
decrease with increasing junc-
tion temperature. This effect is
particularly acute for die in the
580 to 750 nm range. As a
result we recommend that the
LED array heat sink design be
optimized to maintain the die
junction temperature as low as
possible.
ESD P
ROTECTION
LEDs are static sensitive and
susceptible to Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD) damage.
Lamina LED arrays must be
handled using ESD damage
control precautions.
H
ANDLING
P
RECAUTION
Contact with the silicone based
encapsulant on the surface of
the light engine must be avoid-
ed to prevent damage. Do not
apply pressure to the silicone
based encapsulant or allow it to
come into contact with sharp
objects. Lamina LED arrays
must be handled from the
sides.
