Patents by Inventor Gunter Waitl

Gunter Waitl has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20050127385
    Abstract: The light-radiating semiconductor component has a radiation-emitting semiconductor body and a luminescence conversion element. The semiconductor body emits radiation in the ultraviolet, blue and/or green spectral region and the luminescence conversion element converts a portion of the radiation into radiation of a longer wavelength. This makes it possible to produce light-emitting diodes which radiate polychromatic light, in particular white light, with only a single light-emitting semiconductor body. A particularly preferred luminescence conversion dye is YAG:Ce.

  • Patent number: RE37554
    Abstract: The optoelectronic semiconductor component has an optoelectronic semiconductor chip disposed on a chip carrier with an approximately planar chip carrier surface. The semiconductor chip is fastened with predetermined alignment of its optical axis. A plastic base part supports the chip carrier. The semiconductor chip is electrically conductively connected to at least two electrode terminals routed through the base part, and a lens is disposed above the semiconductor chip on top of the base part. The lens is formed with an independently configured cap produced from plastic material. The cap is mechanically form-locked to a support of the base part. When the cap is placed onto the base part, a holder of the cap and the support engage with one another. The holder and the support are configured such that when the cap is placed onto the base part, the two parts are automatically positioned with respect to one another in such a way that the optical axes of the lens and of the semiconductor chip coincide.
