    摘要: A light emitting diode (LED) device having a low index of refraction spacer layer separating the LED chip and a functional layer. The LED chip has a textured light emission surface to increase light extraction from the chip. The spacer layer has an index of refraction that is lower than both the LED chip and the functional layer. Most of the light generated in the LED chip passes easily into the spacer layer due to the textured surface of the chip. At the interface of the spacer layer and the functional layer the light sees a step-up in index of refraction which facilitates transmission. A portion of the light that has passed into the functional layer will be reflected or scattered back toward the spacer layer where some of it will experience total internal reflection. Total internal reflection at this interface may increase extraction efficiency by reducing the amount of light that re-enters the spacer layer and, ultimately, the LED chip where it may be absorbed. The spacer layer also provides a thermal buffer between the LED chip and the functional layer. Thus, the functional layer, which may be a wavelength conversion layer comprising phosphors, for example, is insulated from direct thermal transfer from the LED chip. The spacer layer can also function as a passivation layer.

    摘要: A light emitting device comprising a three-dimensional polarization-graded (3DPG) structure that improves lateral current spreading within the device without introducing additional dopant impurities in the epitaxial structures. The 3DPG structure can include a repeatable stack unit that may be repeated several times within the 3DPG. The stack unit includes a compositionally graded layer and a silicon (Si) delta-doped layer. The graded layer is compositionally graded over a distance from a first material to a second material, introducing a polarization-induced bulk charge into the structure. The Si delta-doped layer compensates for back-depletion of the electron gas at the interface of the graded layers and adjacent layers. The 3DPG facilitates lateral current spreading so that current is injected into the entire active region, increasing the number of radiative recombination events in the active region and improving the external quantum efficiency and the wall-plug efficiency of the device.

    摘要: A light emitting device having an encapsulant with scattering features to tailor the spatial emission pattern and color temperature uniformity of the output profile. The encapsulant is formed with materials having light scattering properties. The concentration of these light scatterers is varied spatially within the encapsulant and/or on the surface of the encapsulant. The regions having a high density of scatterers are arranged in the encapsulant to interact with light entering the encapsulant over a desired range of source emission angles. By increasing the probability that light from a particular range of emission angles will experience at least one scattering event, both the intensity and color temperature profiles of the output light beam can be tuned.
