Precaution for Use

(5) LEDs are sensitive to Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) and Electrical Over Stress (EOS).

Below is a list of suggestions that Seoul Semiconductor purposes to minimize these effects.

a. ESD (Electro Static Discharge)

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the defined as the release of static electricity when two objects come

into contact. While most ESD events are considered harmless, it can be an expensive problem in

many industrial environments during production and storage. The damage from ESD to an LEDs may

cause the product to demonstrate unusual characteristics such as:

- Increase in reverse leakage current lowered turn-on voltage

- Abnormal emissions from the LED at low current

The following recommendations are suggested to help minimize the potential for an ESD event.

One or more recommended work area suggestions:

- Ionizing fan setup

- ESD table/shelf mat made of conductive materials

- ESD safe storage containers

One or more personnel suggestion options:

- Antistatic wrist-strap

- Antistatic material shoes

- Antistatic clothes

Environmental controls:

- Humidity control (ESD gets worse in a dry environment)
