  • Patent number: 8957597
    Abstract: A luminaire is provided, which includes a first light source for providing an illumination light and a second light source passing through at least one image pattern for providing a patterned light. The first light source and the second light source are coupled to a driving circuit and covered by a lamp cover. The driving circuit is used to selectively drive at least one of the first light source and the second light source for providing the illumination light and/or the patterned light. A user may turn on or switch different patterns by touching a casing of the luminaire.

  • Publication number: 20150024533
    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device includes depositing a light reflecting layer over a substrate. The method also includes forming a protection layer over the light reflecting layer. The method further includes forming an anti-reflective coating (ARC) layer over the protection layer. The method additionally includes forming an opening in the ARC layer, the protection layer and the light reflecting layer exposing the substrate. The method also includes removing the ARC layer in a wet solution comprising H2O2, the ARC layer being exposed to the H2O2 at a flow rate greater than about 10 standard cubic centimeters per minute (sccm).

  • Patent number: 8890439
    Abstract: A light-emitting device includes multiple light-emitting diode units sequentially connected and coupled to a first power source, a switching circuit connected to the light-emitting diode units, a second power source, and a control module. Power provided by the first power source is larger than power provided by the second power source. The second power source is connected to the light-emitting diode units through the switching circuit, which is controlled by the control module to facilitate the delivery of the power of the first power source or the second power source to the light-emitting diode units. When the first power source serves to deliver the power thereof to the light-emitting diode units, the light-emitting diode units may be in a serial conduction. When the second power source serves to deliver the power thereof to the light-emitting diode units, the light-emitting diode units may be in a parallel conduction.

  • Patent number: 8883021
    Abstract: A method of forming of MEMS nanostructures includes a portion of a substrate is recessed to form a plurality of mesas in the substrate. Each of the plurality of mesas has a top surface and a sidewall surface. A light reflecting layer is deposited over the substrate thereby covering the top surface and the sidewall surface of each mesa. A protection layer is formed over the light reflecting layer. An ARC layer is formed over the protection layer. An opening in a photo resist layer is formed over the ARC layer over each mesa. A portion of the ARC layer, the protection layer and the light reflecting layer are removed through the opening to expose the top surface of each mesa. The photo resist layer and the ARC layer over the top surface of each mesa are removed.

  • Publication number: 20120280635
    Abstract: An alternating current (AC) light-emitting device includes a waveform generating unit and an AC light-emitting unit. The waveform generating unit is configured to receive an AC electrical signal and to generate a drive signal by adjusting one of: voltage amplitude of the AC electrical signal during one of positive and negative half-cycles of the AC electrical signal, and waveform level of the AC electrical signal. The AC light-emitting unit includes a first light-emitting component and a second light-emitting component, and the second light-emitting component emits a different wavelength light compared to that emitted by the first light-emitting component. The first and second light-emitting components are electrically coupled to the waveform generating unit to receive the drive signal, and emit light according to the drive signal.
