Abstract: Light-emitting diodes (LEDs), LED arrays, and related devices are disclosed. An LED device includes a first LED chip and a second LED chip mounted on a submount with a light-altering material in between. The light-altering material may include at least one of a light-reflective material and/or a light-absorbing material. Individual wavelength conversion elements may be arranged on each of the first and second LED chips. The light-altering material may improve the contrast between the first and second LED chips as well as between the individual wavelength conversion elements. LED devices may include submounts in modular configurations where LED chips may be mounted on adjacent submounts to form an LED array. Each LED chip of the LED array may be laterally separated from at least one other LED chip by a same distance and a light-altering material may be arranged around the LED array.

Abstract: Solid-state lighting devices including light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and LED packages are disclosed. LED packages are provided with improved thermal and/or electrical coupling between LED chips and submounts or lead frames. Various configurations of submounts with via arrangements are disclosed to provide improved coupling between LED chips and submounts. LED chip contacts are disclosed with one or more openings that are registered with vias to provide more uniform mounting. Multiple LED chips may be arranged around a thermally conductive element on a submount, and a via in the submount may be registered with the thermally conductive element. Subassemblies are provided between LED chips and lead frames to improve electrical and thermal coupling. Underfill materials may be arranged between LED chips and lead frames to provide improved mechanical support.

Abstract: Solid-state light emitting devices including light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and more particularly packaged LEDs are disclosed. LED packages are disclosed that include an LED chip with multiple discrete active layer portions mounted on a submount. The LED packages may further include wavelength conversion elements and light-altering materials. The multiple discrete active layer portions may be electrically connected in series, parallel, or in individually addressable arrangements. The LED chip with the multiple discrete active layer portions may provide the LED package with improved brightness, improved alignment, simplified manufacturing, and reduced costs.

Abstract: Lumiphoric material region arrangements are provided for light-emitting diode (LED) packages. Certain aspects relate to arrangements of light-altering materials and lumiphoric material regions for LED packages. Lumiphoric material regions over corresponding LED chips may include increased sizes relative to overall LED package dimensions. Lumiphoric material regions may be arranged to extend to certain peripheral edges of an LED package. Multiple lumiphoric material regions and corresponding LED chips may be arranged in close proximity to one another to provide LED packages with multiple and selectable illumination characteristics. Light-altering materials may be arranged that at least partially define certain peripheral edges of lumiphoric material regions. The light-altering materials may form one or more nonintersecting segments arranged about the lumiphoric material regions. Certain aspects relate to LED packages having one or more of reduced sizes, increased light output, and reduced fabrication steps.
