  • Patent number: 8927307
    Abstract: To improve light extraction efficiency of light emitting elements such as electroluminescent elements. A first electrode 101, a light emitting layer 102, and a second electrode 103 are formed over a substrate 100, which partially constitute a light emitting element. Light produced in the light emitting layer 102 is emitted out through the second electrode 103. A plurality of three-dimensional bodies 104 are provided in contact with a surface of the second electrode 103. With the provision of the bodies 104, light totally reflected between the second electrode 103 and the air enters the bodies 104 and can be emitted through faces of the bodies 104 that are not parallel to the interface between the bodies and the second electrode 103.

  • Patent number: 8927303
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a light-emitting diode (LED) and a method for manufacturing the same. The LED comprises an LED die, one or more metal pads, and a fluorescent layer. The characteristics of the present invention include that the metals pads are left exposed for the convenience of subsequent wiring and packaging processes. In addition, the LED provided by the present invention is a single light-mixing chip, which can be packaged directly without the need of coating fluorescent powders on the packaging glue. Because the fluorescent layer and the packaging glue are not processed simultaneously and are of different materials, the stress problem in the packaged LED can be reduced effectively.
