  • Patent number: 11326065
    Abstract: A versatile silicone resin reflective substrate which exhibits high reflectance of high luminance light from an LED light source over a wide wavelength from short wavelengths of approximately 340-500 nm, which include wavelengths from 380-400 nm near lower limit of the visible region, to longer wavelength in the infra-red region. The silicone resin reflective substrate has a reflective layer which contains a white inorganic filler powder dispersed in a three-dimensional cross linked silicone resin, the inorganic filler powder having a high reflective index than the silicone resin. The reflective layer is formed on a support body as a film, a solid, or a sheet. The silicone resin reflective substrate can be easily formed as a wiring substrate, a packaging case or the like, and can be manufactured at low cost and a high rate of production.

  • Patent number: 6319425
    Abstract: This invention relates to a transparent coating member mountable on a light-emitting diode including a fluorescent substance and a light diffusion substance including calcium carbonate in order to reduce color variation at various locations of a transparent coating member and also reduce manufacturing costs of the transparent coating member without significantly lower the level of chromaticity. Furthermore, this invention relates to a transparent coating member mountable on a light-emitting diode (LED) including a fluorescent substance and a light storing pigment. This structure allows an exhibition of afterglow of the transparent coating member after turning off the light in a room so that locating the position of the transparent coating member is made easier thereafter. The light diffusion substance and the light storing pigment can be added to the transparent coating member to acquire both advantages derived from respective substances.
