摘要:
A lighting device provides a spectrally-shifted light output from a light source. The lighting device includes a semiconductor light emitting device providing a source light and a first thin-film luminescent material layer coating a surface of the semiconductor light emitting device. The first thin-film luminescent material layer includes a luminescent material that emits an emitted light in response to the source light. The first thin-film luminescent material layer has a specific and consistent thickness and specific and consistent density of luminescent particles. The emitted light includes a first luminescent material emitted light when the luminescent material completely absorbs the source light. The emitted light includes a first composite light when the first luminescent material absorbs less than all of the source light. The device may further include a second thin-film luminescent layer coating the first thin-film luminescent layer.

An encoder having a code carrier, light source, and detector is disclosed. The code carrier includes a track that emits light at each of a plurality of track points on the track when that track point is illuminated with light having a predetermined spectrum. Each of the track points emits light having a spectrum that is different from the spectrum emitted by others of the track points. The light source illuminates a portion of the track with light of the predetermined illumination spectrum. The detector provides a plurality of signals indicative of the spectrum of light leaving the portion of the track when the portion includes one of the track points. The code carrier moves with respect to the detector, and the signals define the relative position of the code carrier with respect to the detector.

An apparatus having a light source, light pipe, and light conversion layer is disclosed. The light source includes a plurality of LED dies arranged in an array, each LED emitting light having an excitation wavelength, the light source emitting light within a cone of angles. The light pipe is positioned to receive the light within the cone of angles through an edge surface such that the light within the predetermined cone of angles is totally reflected from the top surface. The light pipe has features that redirect some of the light at angles such that some of the redirected light exits through the top surface. The light conversion layer overlies the top surface and converts light of the excitation wavelength to light in an output spectrum having wavelengths different from the excitation wavelength. A display layer can be placed such that it is illuminated by light from the light pipe.

A light source having first and second phosphor-converted component light sources is disclosed. The first component light source includes a first LED that emits light at a first wavelength and a first luminescent conversion material layer that converts light of the first wavelength to light of a first output wavelength, and the second component light source includes a second LED that emits light at a second wavelength and a second luminescent conversion material layer that converts light of the second wavelength to light of a second output wavelength that is different from the first output wavelength. The first and second LEDs are constructed in the same material system, preferably in the same batch of wafers on the fabrication line. A controller generates a current through each of the first and second LEDs that results in the light source generating light that is perceived to be a predetermined color.
摘要:
An electronic flash, imaging device and method for producing a flash of light having a wavelength spectrum in the visible wavelength range and the infrared wavelength range uses a fluorescent material to convert at least some of the original light emitted from one or more light sources of the electronic flash to longer wavelength light to produce the flash of light. The light sources may be configured to generate light having a peak wavelength in an ultraviolet-and-visible wavelength range. The fluorescent material may include any combination of red, green, blue and yellow phosphors.
摘要:
A method for packaging a light emitting device, in which a primary light generator, such as a light emitting diode semiconductor die or laser diode, is attached to a lead frame and covered with a body of phosphor material so as to form a predetermined thickness of phosphor material covering the primary light generator. The body of phosphor material may be contained in a substantially transparent container or preformed, compressed disc. The resulting light emitting device has a primary light generator covered by phosphor material that is constrained to have a predetermined thickness.

摘要:
Light is emitted from a light emitting device. The light emitted from the light emitting device is combined with light from a first type of phosphor and a second type of phosphor. The first type of phosphor and the second type of phosphor are within an epoxy placed over the light emitting device. The first type of phosphor, when excited, emits light of a first color. The second type of phosphor, when excited, emits light of a second color. The first color and the second color are different.

A device and method for emitting output light utilizes a mixture of Group IIB element Selenide-based phosphor material and Group IIA element Gallium Sulfide-based phosphor material in which the Group IIA element includes Calcium, Strontium and/or Barium to convert some of the original light emitted from a light source of the device to longer wavelength light to change the optical spectrum the output light. Thus, the device and method can be used to produce white color light. The mixture of Group IIB element Selenide-based and Group IIA element Gallium Sulfide-based phosphor materials is included in a wavelength-shifting region optically coupled to the light source, which may be a blue light emitting diode (LED) die.
