Keithley Instruments will broadcast a free, web-based seminar titled “Overcoming the Electrical Measurement Challenges of High Brightness LEDs” on Thursday, October 28, 2010 at 15:00 Central European Summer Time (CEST). Reliable and accurate electrical measurements are vital for the mass production of high brightness LEDs, so a solid understanding of them is critical.

The free webinar, which will be presented by Keithley applications engineer David Wyban, provides an overview of the common electrical measurements performed on high brightness LEDs and shows how to overcome the challenges associated with those measurements. Designed for researchers, test engineers, and test engineering managers involved in the development and production of high bightness LEDs, participants of the one-hour webinar will learn and understand:

• The effects of self-heating in LEDs and how to avoid it
• How to relate forward voltage to junction temperature
• The effects of noise in your forward voltage measurements
• The testing differences between DC and AC LEDs

The event is free to the public, but participants must register in advance.
