  • Patent number: 9970605
    Abstract: A reliable reflective typed semiconductor light source apparatus can emit various color lights having high brightness. The apparatus can include a first and second reflector layer, a phosphor plate disposed on the first reflector layer and a semiconductor light source. The phosphor plate can include at least one of at least one of a red phosphor, a green phosphor, a blue phosphor and a yellow phosphor. The light source can be located adjacent the phosphor plate so that an excited light emitted from the light source can be efficiently reflected on the first reflector layer via the phosphor plate and so that heats generated from the first reflector layer and the like can efficiently transmit toward the second reflector layer. Thus, the disclosed subject matter can provide a semiconductor light source apparatus that can emit various color lights having high brightness, and which can be used for general lighting, etc.

  • Patent number: 9869927
    Abstract: A wavelength converting module and a semiconductor light-emitting apparatus using the wavelength converting module can emit various color lights. The light-emitting apparatus can include a semiconductor light source emitting an exciting light and an optical reflector, which reflects the exciting light toward the wavelength converting module. The wavelength converting module can include a base board and a cavity formed by a divider located on the base board. The exciting light can enter into the cavity including a phosphor layer contained in the wavelength converting module and can emit a mixture light using the phosphor layer in only one cavity. Thus, the semiconductor light-emitting apparatus using the wavelength converting module can emit various color lights having a high light-intensity and a substantially uniform color tone in order to be able to be used for vehicle lamp such as a headlight, general lighting, a stage light, a street light, a projector, etc.

  • Patent number: 9366397
    Abstract: A semiconductor light source apparatus can emit various color lights having high brightness. The light source apparatus can include a phosphor layer directly disposed on a reflective layer and metallic bumps located between the reflective layer and a radiating substrate. The phosphor layer can be composed of at least one of a glass phosphor and a phosphor ceramic and can include at least one of a yellow phosphor, a red phosphor, a green phosphor and a blue phosphor. The light source can be located adjacent the phosphor layer so that light having high brightness emitted from the light source can be reflected on the reflective layer and heat of the phosphor layer can radiate from the radiating substrate via the metallic bumps. Thus, the disclosed subject matter can provide semiconductor light source apparatuses that can emit various color lights having high brightness, and which can be used for headlight, etc.

  • Patent number: 8581287
    Abstract: A semiconductor light-emitting device and a method for manufacturing the same can include a wavelength converting layer in order to emit various colored lights including white light. The device can include a board, a frame located on the board, at least one light-emitting chip mounted on the board, the wavelength converting layer located between an optical plate and an outside surface of the chips so that a density of a peripheral region is lower than that of a middle region, and a reflective material layer disposed at least between the frame and a side surface of the wavelength-converting layer. The device can have the reflective material layer form each reflector and can use a wavelength converting layer having different densities, and therefore can emit a wavelength-converted light having a high light-emitting efficiency and a uniform color tone from various small light-emitting surfaces.

  • Patent number: 8461610
    Abstract: A semiconductor light-emitting device and a method for manufacturing the same can include a wavelength converting layer located over at least one semiconductor light-emitting chip in order to emit various colored lights including white light. The semiconductor light-emitting device can include a base board, a frame located on the base board, the chip mounted on the base board, a transparent material layer located between the wavelength converting layer and a side surface of the chip so as to extend toward the wavelength converting layer, and a reflective material layer disposed at least between the frame and both side surfaces of the wavelength converting layer and the transparent material layer. The semiconductor light-emitting device can be configured to improve light-emitting efficiency of the chip by using the reflective material layer as a reflector, and therefore can emit a wavelength-converted light having a high light-emitting efficiency from a small light-emitting surface.

  • Patent number: 8373185
    Abstract: A light emitting device is provided, including a resin which can be manufactured according to a simple process and deliver a desired scattering property. The light emitting device is manufactured according to a step for mixing two or more types of immiscible liquid materials to obtain a composition containing at least two types of materials phase-separated in a sea-island structure, and a step for arranging the composition in proximity to an LED chip, curing the composition with the sea-island structure being maintained, thereby forming an encapsulation resin. Accordingly, it is possible to form an island region which serves as a scattering center, according to a simple step of mixing materials.
