摘要:
A polarized light emitting diode (LED) includes a marker indicating a polarization direction. A package for the LED also includes a marker indicating the polarization direction. The markers on the LED and package are used for mutual alignment, wherein the LED is attached in a favorable orientation with respect to a package, so that the polarization direction of emitted light from the package is apparent. The marker is placed on the LED before die separation and the marker is placed on the package before alignment. The marker on the LED comprises a photolithographic pattern, an asymmetric die shape, a notch on the die, or a scratch on the die, while the marker on the package comprises an electrode shape or pattern, an asymmetric package shape, a notch on the package, or a scratch on the package. Finally, the LED or package may be installed in an external circuit or system that also indicates the polarization direction.
摘要:
This invention is related to LED Light Extraction for optoelectronic applications. More particularly the invention relates to (Al, Ga, In)N combined with optimized optics for highly efficient (Al, Ga, In)N based light emitting diodes applications, and its fabrication method. A further extension is the general combination of a shaped high refractive index light extraction material combined with a sphere shaped molding.
摘要:
An increase in the Indium (In) content in light-emitting layers of light-emitting diode (LED) structures prepared on nonpolar III-nitride substrates result in higher polarization ratios for light emission than LED structures containing lesser In content. Polarization ratios should be higher than 0.7 at wavelengths longer than 470 nm.

摘要:
An off-axis cut of a nonpolar III-nitride wafer towards a polar (−c) orientation results in higher polarization ratios for light emission than wafers without such off-axis cuts. A 5° angle for an off-axis cut has been confirmed to provide the highest polarization ratio (0.9) than any other examined angles for off-axis cuts between 0° and 27°.

摘要:
A lighting apparatus for emitting polarized white light, which includes at least a first light source for emitting primary light comprised of one or more first wavelengths and having a first polarization direction; and at least a second light source for emitting secondary light in the first polarization direction, comprised of one or more secondary wavelengths, wherein the first light and the secondary light are combined to produce a polarized white light. The lighting apparatus may further comprise a polarizer for controlling the primary light's intensity, wherein a rotation of the polarizer varies an alignment of its polarization axis with respect to the first polarization direction, which varies transmission of the primary light through the polarizer, which controls a color co-ordinate or hue of the white light.
