Heptagon develops, designs and manufactures optics for a variety of LED applications, including mobile phones, LED-based projectors, and general illumination systems. Heptagon’s components are based on novel diffractive optics and micro-optics.

Free-form microstructures on top of a flat substrate enable high efficiency, flexible beam shaping and efficient light mixing for single-die, multi-die, white-light and RGB LED sources. Thin flat LED microlenses can be formed directly on top of the LED adding less than 1 mm to the module thickness.

Heptagon’s LED microlenses are produced by a propriety batch wafer-scale REEMO® UV-replication process. This enables low-cost in mass production and high robustness. Materials are available that can withstand a lead-free reflow process (temperatures up to 280°C), long-term storage and humidity and temperature shocks (in conformance with Telcordia/JEDEC regulations).

Heptagon’s highly skilled engineers support the customer from the initial concept through the design implementation to full-scale production, thus ensuring that new applications are developed in an integrated process. This “one stop shop approach” minimises risk for customers and accelerates time to market. Heptagon is an ISO9001 certified company.

Heptagon’s components are currently used in a variety of global market segments, including mobile phone imaging, lighting, telecommunications, datacomms and consumer electronics. New business opportunities in other markets such as laser printing, materials processing, medical diagnostics, auto-ID/machine vision and instrumentation are also being investigated. Heptagons’ customers are large multinational companies as well as medium and small -size high-tech and start-up companies.
