  • Patent number: 6812500
    Abstract: The light-radiating semiconductor component has a radiation-emitting semiconductor body and a luminescence conversion element. The semiconductor body emits radiation in the ultraviolet, blue and/or green spectral region and the luminescence conversion element converts a portion of the radiation into radiation of a longer wavelength. This makes it possible to produce light-emitting diodes which radiate polychromatic light, in particular white light, with only a single light-emitting semiconductor body. A particularly preferred luminescence conversion dye is YAG:Ce.

  • Patent number: 6683325
    Abstract: An opto-electronic semiconductor element has a radiation emitting or receiving, that is, radiation active semiconductor chip secured to an electrically conductive base frame. One, or a plurality of chips, are surrounded by a housing which may be integral with or have, separately, a cover. All materials of the housing, as well as of the conductive base frame, have mutually matching thermal coefficients of expansion within the temperature ranges which arise during manufacture and in application of the semiconductive element, singly or as a plurality in a common housing. Glass, quartz glass, ceramic or glass ceramic are suitable for the housing or parts thereof; the conductive base frame is preferably made of cladded or jacketed copper wire or strip with an iron-nickel core. Assembling a plurality of chips in a housing which has a luminescence conversion layer, e.g. a phosphor applied thereto, permits construction of a flat light source.

  • Patent number: 5064299
    Abstract: An optical connection between an optoelectronic structural element and a fiber-optic beam waveguide is described which is reliable, simple, and space-saving. A lens and a hollow cylinder are integrated in the structural component of optoelectronic structural elements. Each end of a fiber-optic beam waveguide is inserted into the hollow cylinders, and the optoelectronic structural elements are connected with the aid of a heat-shrinkable tubing with the fiber-optic beam waveguide such that the ends of the light beam waveguide to be coupled abut each of the lens integrated into the optoelectronic structural elements. An optocoupler according to the invention may be advantageously used in motor vehicles, in electromedicine, in power electronics, in robot control, in sensory analysis, and in "instrumentaion-control-regulation" tasks.

  • Patent number: RE37554
    Abstract: The optoelectronic semiconductor component has an optoelectronic semiconductor chip disposed on a chip carrier with an approximately planar chip carrier surface. The semiconductor chip is fastened with predetermined alignment of its optical axis. A plastic base part supports the chip carrier. The semiconductor chip is electrically conductively connected to at least two electrode terminals routed through the base part, and a lens is disposed above the semiconductor chip on top of the base part. The lens is formed with an independently configured cap produced from plastic material. The cap is mechanically form-locked to a support of the base part. When the cap is placed onto the base part, a holder of the cap and the support engage with one another. The holder and the support are configured such that when the cap is placed onto the base part, the two parts are automatically positioned with respect to one another in such a way that the optical axes of the lens and of the semiconductor chip coincide.
