    Abstract: LED packages are disclosed that are compact and efficiently emit light, and can comprise encapsulants with planar surfaces that refract and/or reflect light within the package encapsulant. The LED package are also directed to features or arrangements that allow for improved or tailored emission characteristic for LED packages according to the present invention. Some of these features or arrangements include, but are not limited to, higher ratio of light source size to submount size, the used of particular materials (e.g. different silicones) for the LED package layers, improved arrangement of a reflective layer, improved composition and arrangement of the phosphor layer, tailoring the shape of the encapsulant, and/or improving the bonds between the layers. There are only some of the improvements disclosed herein, with some of these resulting in LED packages the emit light with a higher luminous intensity over conventional LED packages.

    Abstract: Solid-state lighting devices including light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and more particularly packaged LEDs with light-altering materials are disclosed. A light-altering material is provided in particular configurations within an LED package to redirect light from an LED chip within the LED package and contribute to a desired emission pattern of the LED package. The light-altering material may also block light from the LED chip from escaping in a non-desirable direction, such as large or wide angle emissions. The light-altering material may be arranged on a lumiphoric material adjacent to the LED chip in various configurations. The LED package may include an encapsulant on the light-altering material and the lumiphoric material.

    Abstract: LED packages are disclosed that are compact and efficiently emit light, and can comprise encapsulants with curved and planar surfaces. The packages can comprise a submount with a one or a plurality of LEDs, and in those with a plurality of LEDs each of the LEDs can emit the same or different wavelengths of light than the others. A blanket conversion material layer can be included on at least some of the LEDs and the submount. The encapsulant can be on the submount, over at least some of the LEDs, with each of the planar surfaces being vertical and aligned with one of the edges of the submount. The packages can also comprise reflective layers to minimize losses due to light absorption, which in turn can increase the overall package emission efficiency.

The encapsulant can also have a upper curved surface with a relatively large radius of curvature, with the combination of curved and planar surfaces resulting in efficient emission of light with a relatively narrow emission profile.

    Abstract: Solid-state lighting devices including light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and more particularly LED chips and related methods are disclosed. LED chips are provided that include an indicia arranged between a primary light-emitting face and a mounting face of the LED chip. The indicia may include at least one of a logo, one or more alphanumeric characters, or a symbol, among others that are configured to convey information. Arrangements of at least one of an n-contact, a p-contact, or a reflector layer of the LED chip may form the indicia. LED chips are also provided where at least a portion of an indicia is arranged on a mounting face of the LED chip. Indicia are provided that may be visible through primary light-emitting faces when LED chips are electrically activated or electrically deactivated. In this regard, the indicia may be embedded within LED chips while still being able to convey information.

    Abstract: Solid-state light emitting devices including light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and more particularly packaged LEDs are disclosed. LED packages are disclosed that include an LED chip with multiple discrete active layer portions mounted on a submount. The LED packages may further include wavelength conversion elements and light-altering materials. The multiple discrete active layer portions may be electrically connected in series, parallel, or in individually addressable arrangements. The LED chip with the multiple discrete active layer portions may provide the LED package with improved brightness, improved alignment, simplified manufacturing, and reduced costs.
