摘要： A device is provided with an array of a plurality of phosphor converted light emitting devices (LEDs) that produce broad spectrum light. The phosphor converted LEDs may produce light with different correlated color temperature (CCT) and are covered with an optical element that assists in mixing the light from the LEDs to produce a desired correlated color temperature. The phosphor converted LEDs may also be combined in an array with color LEDs. The color LEDs may be controlled to vary their brightness such that light with an approximately continuous broad spectrum is produced. By controlling the brightness of the color LEDs, light can be produced with a fixed brightness over a large range of white points with a high color rendering quality.

摘要： A light-emitting device comprising a population of quantum dots (QDs) embedded in a host matrix and a primary light source which causes the QDs to emit secondary light and a method of making such a device. The size distribution of the QDs is chosen to allow light of a particular color to be emitted therefrom. The light emitted from the device may be of either a pure (monochromatic) color, or a mixed (polychromatic) color, and may consist solely of light emitted from the QDs themselves, or of a mixture of light emitted from the QDs and light emitted from the primary source. The QDs desirably are composed of an undoped semiconductor such as CdSe, and may optionally be overcoated to increase photoluminescence.

摘要： In an LCD, a backlight having red, green, and blue LEDs is controlled to generate monochromatic light (e,g., blue) during a portion of a cycle, such as an image frame cycle. During another portion of the cycle, all the LEDs are illuminated to create white light. The color filter in the LCD panel contains, for each white pixel, a first color (e.g., red) subpixel filter, a second color (e.g., green) subpixel filter, and a clear subpixel area for passing white light and the monochromatic. The liquid crystal layer shutters are controlled to pass from 0-100% of the light for their associated subpixels to create a color image. With proper control of the shutters, any desired color of each white pixel can be achieved during the cycle. By converting one color filter to a clear area, the transmission efficiency of the display is greatly increased.

摘要： A system for purifying a fluid uses ultra violet (UV) light to inactivate micro-organisms present in the fluid. The system has an arrangement of UV light emitters on perforated plates. The fluid, while passing through perforations in the perforated plates, is exposed to the UV light emitted by the UV light emitters. Micro-organisms present in the fluid pass very close to the UV light emitters. The UV light absorbed by the micro-organisms causes genetic damage and inactivation. The system has feedback units providing feedback about the physical properties of the fluid to a power unit supplying power to the UV light emitters. The power unit varies the amount of power supplied to the UV light emitters, based on the feedback.

摘要： Light emitting devices with improved light extraction efficiency are provided. The light emitting devices have a stack of layers including semiconductor layers comprising an active region. The stack is bonded to a transparent lens having a refractive index for light emitted by the active region preferably greater than about 1.5, more preferably greater than about 1.8. A method of bonding a transparent lens to a light emitting device having a stack of layers including semiconductor layers comprising an active region includes elevating a temperature of the lens and the stack and applying a pressure to press the lens and the stack together. Bonding a high refractive index lens to a light emitting device improves the light extraction efficiency of the light emitting device by reducing loss due to total internal reflection. Advantageously, this improvement can be achieved without the use of an encapsulant.

摘要： Lenses and certain fabrication techniques are described. A wide-emitting lens refracts light emitted by an LED die to cause a peak intensity to occur within 50-80 degrees off the center axis and an intensity along the center axis to be between 5% and 33% of the peak intensity. The lens is particularly useful in a LCD backlighting application. In one embodiment, the lens is affixed to the backplane on which the LED die is mounted and surrounds the LED die. The lens has a hollow portion that forms an air gap between the LED die and the lens, where the light is bent towards the sides both at the air gap interface and the outer lens surface interface. The lens may be a secondary lens surrounding an interior lens molded directly over the LED die.

摘要： Provided is a light emitting device including a Fresnel lens and/or a holographic diffuser formed on a surface of a semiconductor light emitter for improved light extraction, and a method for forming such light emitting device. Also provided is a light emitting device including an optical element stamped on a surface for improved light extraction and the stamping method used to form such device. An optical element formed on the surface of a semiconductor light emitter reduces reflective loss and loss due to total internal reflection, thereby improving light extraction efficiency. A Fresnel lens or a holographic diffuser may be formed on a surface by wet chemical etching or dry etching techniques, such as plasma etching, reactive ion etching, and chemically-assisted ion beam etching, optionally in conjunction with a lithographic technique. In addition, a Fresnel lens or a holographic diffuser may be milled, scribed, or ablated into the surface. Stamping, an alternative method for forming an optical element, can also be used to form a Fresnel lens or a holographic diffuser on the surface of a semiconductor light emitter. Stamping includes pressing a stamping block against the surface of a light emitting diode. The stamping block has a shape and pattern that are the inverse of the desired optical element. Optionally, stamping can be done before, after, or concurrently with wafer-bonding. Alternatively, a material can be stamped and later bonded to the semiconductor light emitter.

摘要： A semiconductor light emitting device includes an n-type region, a p-type region, and light emitting region disposed between the n- and p-type regions. The n-type, p-type, and light emitting regions form a cavity having a top surface and a bottom surface. Both the top surface and the bottom surface of the cavity may have a rough surface. For example, the surface may have a plurality of peaks separated by a plurality of valleys. In some embodiments, the thickness of the cavity is kept constant by incorporating an etch-stop layer into the device, then thinning the layers of the device by a process that terminates on the etch-stop layer.
