Durham, N.C., Feb 04 — Cree LED®, a Penguin Solutions brand (Nasdaq: PENG), today announced OptiLamp™ LEDs, a new display technology that integrates driver and control intelligence directly into every LED pixel. Built on patented Cree LED technology, the OptiLamp portfolio advances LED display design by delivering superior image quality with reduced power consumption and a streamlined system architecture.
Unlike conventional LED displays that rely on external driver ICs and multiplexing, OptiLamp LEDs actively manage output and health at the pixel level, inside the LED package. This embedded intelligence enables thinner, lighter, and more reliable displays while reducing manufacturing complexity, material costs, and long-term maintenance.
“OptiLamp technology redefines how LED displays are designed and operated, setting a new standard for large- and small-scale display performance, clarity and power efficiency,” said Joe Clark, president, Cree LED. “With intelligence built into every pixel, the technology not only simplifies deployment at the system level, it also enables customers to deliver end products with brighter visuals, crisper images and higher efficiency – continuing to expand the capabilities of display technology.”
OptiLamp technology delivers enhanced brightness, true 1/1 scan operation and precise pixel-level control, eliminating scan lines, image tearing and synchronization artifacts. With 24-bit control per channel, these LEDs produce ultra-smooth color gradations, deep contrast and exceptional visual fidelity for both live viewing and on-camera applications.
Power efficiency is also significantly improved, delivering meaningful energy savings at normal brightness levels, supporting sustainability goals while reducing operating costs and improving return on investment. In addition, OptiLamp LEDs feature built-in monitoring and calibration data, enabling proactive maintenance, faster field repairs and consistent performance throughout the display’s lifetime.
With this new OptiLamp technology, Cree LED sets a new standard for LED display performance, efficiency and system simplicity – unlocking next-generation designs and expanded application possibilities across the display industry.
A live OptiLamp demonstration with Cree LED’s brand partner, LED Studio, will be featured at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2026, February 3-6, in Barcelona, Spain.
