  • Patent number: 9425364
    Abstract: For the production of a white LED having a predetermined color temperature, a blue LED (2a-2d) or a UV LED is coated with a conversion layer (5) which absorbs the blue light or UV light and emits light of greater wavelength. In accordance with the invention, the exact wavelength of the LED (2a-2d) is determined and the color conversion agent (5) is applied over this LED (2a-2d) in a quantity dependent upon the determined wavelength. Through this, the tolerance of the color temperature can be significantly reduced. The color conversion agent may be applied by means of dispenser or stamp, and the quantity and/or concentration selected in dependence upon the determined wavelength. Inkjet printing, deposition from the gas phase or selective removal by means of a laser is, however, also possible. The invention also relates to light sources produced in accordance with this method.

  • Patent number: 8614456
    Abstract: An LED die (3) is arranged with an adhesive (4) on an LED PCB (6). The LED PCB (6) has on the side opposite to the LED die (3) rear side contacts (7). Through this a self-contained LED lamp is formed, which e.g. can be applied by means of SMT to a board (9) or introduced into a lamp socket. In accordance with the invention, the rear side contacts (7) cover at least the half area, preferably the entire area apart from necessary exceptions, of the LED PCB (6). Through this, the heat can be discharged with slight thermal resistance. Preferably a cooling body (11) is arranged on the rear side of the board (9). In this case it is expedient if the board (9) has through-contacts for increasing the thermal conductivity.

  • Patent number: 7985015
    Abstract: An LED spotlight has an arrangement having at least one LED, above which there is arranged a color conversion substance, and an optical system of a substantially transparent material, which directs incident light from the LED arrangement in the direction of an exit surface by means of total internal reflection. The base surface of the conical optical system may thereby have the shape of a polygon. The outer wall of the conical optical system may have at least in partial regions planar facets. The color conversion material may be provided in the shape of a cuboid above the LED arrangement.

  • Patent number: 7855393
    Abstract: The invention relates to a light emitting device having a radiation emitting element, for example a light emitting diode, and a luminescent material which is able to absorb a part of the radiation sent out by the radiation emitting element and to send out light with a wavelength which is different from the wavelength of the absorbed radiation. The device further has diffusing particles which are able to scatter a part of the radiation sent out by the radiation emitting element, and/or to scatter a part of the light sent out by the luminescent material. The diffusing particles are of non-activated luminescent material, through which production is simplified.

  • Publication number: 20100213853
    Abstract: The present invention is based on a regulation circuit (200a, 200b) for making available a constant current supply on the basis of a transformer principle, in which there flows through the luminescent diodes (D1, . . . , DN) a triangular a.c. current (ID) varying periodically around a d.c. current value. With this method it is afforded by means of a circuitry provision that both the charging and also the discharging current (IL1) of an inductive reactance (XL1) connected in series to the luminescent diodes (D1, . . . , DN), functioning as a storage choke (L1) for filtering of mains harmonics, flows as diode current (ID) through the luminescent diodes (D1, . . . , DN). The advantage of this method consists in a significant reduction of the overall power loss (PV, ges) of the LED illumination module (100).

  • Patent number: 7708447
    Abstract: The present invention is based on a regulation circuit for making available a constant current supply on the basis of a transformer principle, in which there flows through the luminescent diodes (D1, . . . , DN) a triangular a.c. current varying periodically around a DC current value. Both a charging and a discharging current of inductive reactance connected in series to the luminescent diodes (D 1, . . . , DN), functioning as a storage choke for filtering of mains harmonics, flows as diode current through the luminescent diodes (D 1, . . . , DN). According to one exemplary embodiment of the invention the ceramic circuit board of the LED illumination module in accordance with the invention has a direct mains current supply, which for protection from mechanical damage is accommodated in a transparent housing having a highly transparent polymer mass serving as optically active lens surface.
