    Abstract: The semiconductor laser device of the present invention has a conductive first heatsink member, a conductive first adhesive, and a semiconductor laser element. The first adhesive is disposed on the first heatsink member, and the semiconductor laser element is disposed on the first adhesive. The first adhesive reaches an upper part of the side surface of the first heatsink member under the laser emission surface for laser emission of the semiconductor laser element. The structure further improves heat dissipation of the semiconductor laser element; at the same time, it is effective in obtaining laser light from the semiconductor laser element.

  • Publication number: 20140209931
    Abstract: An LED board structure includes a light-pervious substrate having a plurality of light-pervious areas formed thereon, a plurality of patterned conductive traces arranged on the light-pervious substrate at locations other than the light-pervious areas, and a plurality of LEDs correspondingly arranged on the light-pervious areas and respectively having two electrode terminals electrically connected to the patterned conductive traces. With these arrangements, light emitted from the LEDs not only projects forward, but also backwardly passes through the light-pervious areas, so that both sides of the LED board structure are illuminated by the LEDs. A method of manufacturing an LED board structure is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20140210368
    Abstract: An LED array includes three or more strings of bare LEDs mounted in close proximity to each other on a substrate. The strings of LEDs emit light of one or more wavelengths of blue, indigo and/or violet light, with peak wavelengths that are less than 490 nm. Luminescent materials deposited on each of the LED chips in the array emit light of different wavelength ranges that are of longer wavelengths than and in response to light emissions from the LED chips. A control circuit applies currents to the strings of LEDs, causing the LEDs in the strings to emit light, which causes the luminescent materials to emit light. A user interface enables users to control the currents applied by the control circuit to the strings of LEDs to achieve a Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) value and hue that are desired by users, with CIE chromaticity coordinates that lie on, or near to the black body radiation curve.

    Abstract: A wafer-level optical deflector assembly is formed on a front surface side of a wafer. Then, the front surface side of the wafer is etched by using elements of the wafer-level optical deflector assembly, to form a front-side dicing street. Then, a transparent substrate with an inside cavity is adhered to the front surface side of the wafer. Then, a second etching mask is formed on a back surface side of the wafer. Then, the back surface side of the wafer is etched to create a back-side dicing street. Then, an adhesive sheet with a ring-shaped rim is adhered to the back surface side of the wafer. Then, the transparent substrate is removed. Finally, the ring-shaped rim is expanded to widen the front-side dicing street and the back-side dicing street to pick up optical deflectors one by one from the wafer.
