  • Patent number: 8536592
    Abstract: An LED package device having a dam located on a substrate is provided, by which two regions are defined on the substrate. Two LED dies are respectively disposed on the two regions and separated by the dam; therefore, the LED package device has an enhanced intensity of the lateral-emitting light and a wide light emitting angle. The LED package devices can be used in backlight units to prevent mura and hot spot issues.

  • Patent number: 8492778
    Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) device includes a substrate, first and second LED chips arranged on the substrate, and a phosphor layer over the first and second LED chips. The phosphor layer includes a plurality of phosphor units, each including a phosphor particle and a silver halide layer encapsulating the phosphor particle. Light emitted from the second LED chip strikes the phosphor particles to generate a first light, which. combines with the light to generate a resultant light. The silver halide layer is reduced by the light from the first LED chip to produce silver particles around the phosphor particles. The silver particles can block the light emitted from the second LED chip from sticking the phosphor particles. By adjusting the current supplied to the first LED chip, the color temperature of the resultant light generated by the LED device can be changed.
