Patent number: 8283684Abstract: An LED semiconductor body includes a number of at least two radiation-generating active layers. Each active layer has a forward voltage, wherein the number of active layers is adapted to an operating voltage in such a way that the voltage dropped across a series resistor connected in series with the active layers is at most of the same magnitude as a voltage dropped across the LED semiconductor body. The invention furthermore describes various uses of the LED semiconductor body.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2007Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: OSRAM Opto Semiconductors GmbHInventors: Reiner Windisch, Ralph Wirth, Stefan Groetsch, Georg Bogner, Guenter Kirchberger, Klaus Streubel
