  • Publication number: 20140065740
    Abstract: A photonic device generates light from a full spectrum of lights including white light. The device includes two or more LEDs grown on a substrate, each generating light of a different wavelength and separately controlled. A light-emitting structure is formed on the substrate and apportioned into the two or more LEDs by etching to separate the light-emitting structure into different portions. At least one of the LEDs is coated with a phosphor material so that different wavelengths of light are generated by the LEDs while the same wavelength of light is emitted from the light-emitting structure.

  • Publication number: 20130259267
    Abstract: An audio amplifier apparatus for driving a loudspeaker is provided. The audio amplifier apparatus includes a soft charge unit, a first amplification module, and a second amplification module. The soft charge unit is coupled to the loudspeaker through an output terminal and supplies a driving current according to a first control signal to soft charge the loudspeaker, so as to gradually increase a voltage level on the output terminal. The first amplification module receives an audio signal according to the first control signal and amplifies the audio signal to output a first amplified signal for driving the loudspeaker. The second amplification module receives the audio signal according to a second control signal and amplifies the audio signal to output a second amplified signal for driving the loudspeaker. The soft charge unit generates the second control signal by comparing the voltage level on the output terminal with a predetermined voltage level.
