Cree LED Introduces CV28D LEDs with Groundbreaking FusionBeam Technology for LED Signs and Displays

DURHAM, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 12, 2024--

Cree LED, a Penguin Solutions brand (Nasdaq: PENG ), today announced the launch of its new CV28D LEDs with FusionBeam ™ Technology, a groundbreaking advancement for the LED signage market. The CV28D LED combines the latest through-hole and surface-mount (SMD) RGB LED technology, delivering superior directionality, image quality, and resolution in a durable, easy-to-assemble package.

This innovation marks a major leap forward for information displays, providing new levels of clarity and contrast versus current through-hole LED displays. With this high resolution, CV28D-enabled signs can now display icons, photos, logos, and even video, bringing unprecedented versatility to signs that can currently only display text or simple shapes.

Compared to traditional through-hole LEDs, the CV28D enables displays with 2.5 times the resolution, equivalent to the leap from standard definition 480p to full HD 1080p video. At the heart of the CV28D’s performance, FusionBeam Technology simultaneously blends individual RGB LED dies into a single, uniform color and then sends it only to the intended audience. The new LEDs also feature advanced directionality, focusing light on the intended viewer while reducing light trespass and pollution to four times less than standard RGB SMD LEDs.

“We are proud to introduce our CV28D LEDs with FusionBeam Technology, the first LED solution to truly bridge the gap between through-hole and SMD technologies in the LED signage market,” said Joe Clark, President of Cree LED. “By combining the best qualities of both, CV28D enables signage manufacturers to create displays with higher resolution, better directionality and improved durability, all while reducing light pollution. FusionBeam Technology LEDs represent the next frontier for LED information signs, and we’re excited to see how our customers leverage our technology in their future designs.”

CV28D LEDs offer single LED package per pixel and provide ease of assembly and IP68-rated dustproof and waterproof reliability. With a form factor of only 4.3 mm in height, they enable significantly thinner and lighter displays and signs — making them ideal for a wide range of outdoor applications.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A man who worked for the U.S. government has been charged with leaking classified information assessing Israel's earlier plans to attack Iran, according to court papers filed Wednesday.

The man, identified as Asif William Rahman, was arrested by the FBI this week in Cambodia and was due to make his first court appearance in Guam.

He was indicted last week in U.S. court in Virginia on two counts of willful transmission of national defense information — felony charges that can carry significant prison sentences.

It was not immediately clear whether Rahman had a lawyer or which federal agency employed him, but officials say he had a top-secret security clearance with access to sensitive compartmented information.

The charges stem from the documents, attributed to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency, appearing last month on a channel of the Telegram messaging app. The documents noted that Israel was still moving military assets in place to conduct a military strike in response to Iran’s blistering ballistic missile attack on Oct. 1.

Israel carried out a retaliatory attack on multiple sites in Iran in late October.

The documents were sharable within the “Five Eyes,” which are the United States, Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.

The emergence of the documents triggered an FBI investigation that examined how the documents were obtained — including whether it was an intentional leak by a member of the U.S. intelligence community or obtained by another method, like a hack — and whether any other intelligence information was compromised. Officials also worked to determine who had access to the documents before they were posted.

The New York Times was first to report his arrest.
