Abstract:
A studio light having first and second light output regimes, and adjustable color temperature. The color temperatures of the first and second light output regimes may be different. The light module includes one or more emitters of light of at least two different colors. An external signal causes the light module to switch from a first light output regime to a second, higher intensity light output regime, and back to the first light output regime.
Abstract:
The invention provides light emitting devices having a phosphor layer that are useful as sources of white light, and other applications. The invention provides a light emitting device having a LED and a phosphor composition positioned to receive light from the LED. The LED is adapted to emit cyan light, and the phosphor composition is adapted to absorb cyan light from the LED and emit red light.
Abstract:
A device and method for emitting output light utilizes Group IIA/IIB element Selenide Sulfur-based phosphor material to convert at least some of the original light emitted from a light source of the device to longer wavelength light to change the optical spectrum of the output light. Thus, the device and method can be used to produce white color light. The device and method may also utilize Thiogallate-based phosphor material.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention include a light emitting diode package comprising a ceramic cavity comprising a substrate for mounting a light emitting diode and substantially vertical sidewalls for reducing light leakage. The ceramic LED package further includes a metallic coating on a portion of the ceramic substrate for reflecting light in a predetermined direction.
Abstract:
A phosphor composition and a light source constructed therefrom are disclosed. The phosphor composition includes first and second phosphors. The first phosphor includes first phosphor particles that convert light of an excitation wavelength to light having a first spectrum characterized by an intensity of light that varies as a function of wavelength. The first phosphor particles are chosen such that the first spectrum is independent of the size of the particles. The second phosphor includes particles of a QD phosphor that convert the excitation light to light in a QD phosphor spectrum. The first phosphor particles and the QD phosphor particles are present in a ratio of concentrations. The ratio, the first phosphor particles, and the QD phosphor particles are chosen such that a combined spectrum has an intensity that is more uniform as a function of wavelength than either the QD phosphor spectrum or the first spectrum.
Abstract:
A photographic light system, imaging device and method for providing different types of photographic light uses a single multifunctional light module to produce the different types of photographic light. The multifunctional light module includes a number of semiconductor light source devices, such as light emitting diodes (LED), which are controlled by a light module controller. The multifunctional light module can be used to produce an autofocus auxiliary light, a red-eye reducing light and a flash of light.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, apparatus is provided with a display panel, a wavelength converting material, and a light source. The display panel is provided with an interface to receive control signals defining one or more primary images that are projected from the display panel. The wavelength converting material absorbs light of a first wavelength and emits light of a second wavelength. The wavelength converting material defines a secondary image that is projected from the display panel when the wavelength converting material is illuminated by the light of the first wavelength. The light source causes the wavelength converting material to be illuminated by the light of the first wavelength.
Abstract:
A handheld fluorescence detector that includes a handheld data processing system and a UV light source connected to the data processing system is disclosed. The UV light source illuminates an object to be scanned with light having a UV illumination wavelength. A safety mechanism inhibits the light from the UV light source from reaching an eye of a person in the vicinity of the UV light source at an intensity that would damage the eye. A fluorescence detector senses fluorescent light generated by the object in response to the illumination. The fluorescence detection can utilize a photodetector or a human observer. The detector can be included in a cellular telephone or PDA. Safety mechanisms that utilize baffles or total internal reflection to protect the user are described. In addition, interlock mechanisms that prevent the UV light source from being activated when no object is present can be incorporated.
