Abstract: Devices, such as light-emitting devices (e.g., LEDs), and methods associated with such devices are provided. A light-emitting device designed to emit light may include an interface through which emitted light passes therethrough, wherein the interface has a dielectric function that varies spatially according to a pattern. The pattern may be arranged to provide anisotropic light emission characterized by an emission pattern on a far-field projection plane substantially parallel to the interface, wherein a first total light intensity along a first axis on the projection plane is at least 20% greater than a second total light intensity along a second axis on the projection plane.

Abstract: Light-emitting devices can include a package that supports one or more light-emitting die (e.g., light-emitting diode die, laser diode die) and which can ensure mechanically stability, can facilitate electrical and/or thermal coupling with light-emitting die, and can manipulate the manner by which light generated by the die is emitted out of the light-emitting device. The package can also facilitate the integration of the light-emitting devices in various components and systems. For example, suitable packages may facilitate the use of light-emitting devices in components and systems such as light-emitting panel assemblies, LCD back lighting, general lighting, decorative or display lighting, automotive lighting, and other types of lighting components and systems.

Abstract: Devices, such as light-emitting devices (e.g., LEDs), and methods associated with such devices are provided. The device may include an interface having a dielectric function that varies spatially according to a transformed pattern, wherein the transformed pattern conforms to a transformation of a precursor pattern according to a mathematical function. A method is also provided for generating a pattern for incorporation in a device. The method comprises providing a precursor pattern, and transforming the precursor pattern according to a mathematical function, thereby generating a transformed pattern.

Abstract: A light-emitting device is provided. The device may include a thermally conductive region in contact with a wavelength-converting region (e.g., a phosphor region). The thermally conductive region may aid in the extraction of heat resulting from light absorption in the wavelength-converting region, which, if excessive, may impair device operation. The presence of a thermally conductive region can enable devices including wavelength-converting regions to operate even at high power levels (e.g., light generated by the light-generating region and/or by the light-emitting device having a total power greater than 0.5 Watts) for long operating lifetimes (e.g., greater than 2,000 hours).
