super small LEDs?

[AilSnail]

I need some really tiny LEDs. What are the smallest I can get?

 

[Marduke]

Probably 3mm ones

the smd type is even smaller.

Surface mount LED's can be very small. I have a few white power LED's that are about 1/4 the size of a grain of rice. I do not know the manufacturer or part #... I got them from a broken cell phone.

Is 0402 small enough ? That's 1 x 0.5 mm.
Kingbright has them.
Here's a picture.

3mm for general use, SMD for the tiniest you can get. Soldering SMD leds is going to be tricky though...

what about them new "oled" things? they are stuffing them in those micro devices.

As far as I know, OLEDs are used in displays and need complex driving circuitry. There's a reason, I imagine, why we don't have OLED flashlights yet.
