HD108 2020 LED Chip: 16-bit Grayscale Revolution in Compact Addressable Lighting
In the fast-evolving world of addressable LEDs, the HD108 2020 LED Chip emerges as a game-changer, redefining precision, compactness, and performance. Engineered by New Star LED, this 2020 SMD RGB chip integrates cutting-edge 16-bit grayscale technology, ultra-high refresh rates, and seamless synchronization—making it the ultimate choice for professionals and enthusiasts seeking next-level lighting control.
Unrivaled Technical Prowess: Beyond 8-bit Limitations
At the core of the HD108 2020 lies its 16-bit grayscale (65536 levels per channel), a leap from traditional 8-bit LEDs. This allows for imperceptible dimming transitions, from a faint ember glow to full brilliance, eliminating the “staircase effect” common in lower-bit chips. Paired with a 27 kHz PWM refresh rate—5x faster than SK9822 and 1.3x faster than APA102—this chip delivers flicker-free performance, even under high-speed camera recording, making it ideal for stage productions, live events, and broadcast studios.

|---|---|---|---|
| Grayscale Resolution | 16-bit (65536 levels) | 8-bit (256 levels) | 8-bit (256 levels) |
| PWM Refresh Rate | >27 kHz | 20 kHz | 4.7 kHz |
| Data Transmission Speed | 40 MHz | 20 MHz | 2 MHz |
| Voltage Drop (5m strip) | Minimal (<1V) | Noticeable | Significant |
| Package Size | 2020 SMD (2.0×2.0mm) | 5050 SMD (5.0×5.0mm) | 5050 SMD (5.0×5.0mm) |
Compact Powerhouse: 2020 SMD for High-Density Designs
The HD108 2020’s 2.0×2.0mm SMD package is a marvel of miniaturization. This tiny footprint enables ultra-high-density installations—up to 200 LEDs per meter—without sacrificing heat dissipation or durability. Whether crafting pixel screens, curved architectural accents, or wearable tech, designers gain unprecedented flexibility to transform spaces with smooth, uniform light.
Dual-Wire Synchronization: Stability Redefined
Unlike single-wire protocols (e.g., WS2812B), the HD108 2020 uses dual-wire (Data + Clock) transmission, ensuring rock-solid synchronization across cascaded chips. This eliminates signal lag in large setups, such as stadium screens or immersive art installations. Combined with a built-in signal reshaping circuit, it maintains waveform integrity over 5-meter runs without amplifiers—simplifying wiring and reducing costs.
Energy Efficiency Meets Versatility
Engineered for sustainability, the HD108 2020 features a low-power sleep mode that cuts consumption to near-zero when idle, ideal for battery-powered projects like portable stage lights or IoT devices. Its 5V DC operation balances brightness (1500 mcd green, 400 mcd red, 300 mcd blue) with safety, while a 120° beam angle ensures wide, even illumination—perfect for ambient lighting or backlit displays.
Applications That Shine
From Tokyo’s Olympic venues to DIY maker labs, the HD108 2020 excels across industries:
- Broadcast & Film: Flicker-free lighting for green screens and studio sets.
- Architectural Lighting: Curved facades and dynamic building accents with 5m+ runs.
- High-Res Screens: Pixel pitches as fine as 2mm for indoor video walls.
- Wearable Tech: Lightweight, low-profile integration into costumes and accessories.
Developer-Friendly Ecosystem
Compatible with APA102 protocols, the HD108 2020 works seamlessly with popular platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and FastLED (via community-supported libraries). Its 3.3V logic compatibility simplifies integration with ESP32/ESP8266 microcontrollers, while Rext external resistor adjustment lets users fine-tune current (18mA default) for custom brightness needs.
Certified Quality, Trusted Performance
Backed by New Star LED’s decade-long expertise, the HD108 2020 meets CE, RoHS, and FCC standards, ensuring reliability in commercial and industrial environments. With a 50,000-hour lifespan and 2-year warranty, it’s built to endure the rigors of continuous operation.
