  • Patent number: 11411148
    Abstract: Solid-state lighting devices including light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and more particularly packaged LEDs with light-altering materials are disclosed. A light-altering material is provided in particular configurations within an LED package to redirect light from an LED chip within the LED package and contribute to a desired emission pattern of the LED package. The light-altering material may also block light from the LED chip from escaping in a non-desirable direction, such as large or wide angle emissions. The light-altering material may be arranged on a lumiphoric material adjacent to the LED chip in various configurations. The LED package may include an encapsulant on the light-altering material and the lumiphoric material.

  • Patent number: 10991861
    Abstract: Flip chip LEDs incorporate multi-layer reflectors and light transmissive substrates patterned along an internal surface adjacent to semiconductor layers. A multi-layer reflector may include a metal layer and a dielectric layer containing conductive vias. Portions of a multi-layer reflector may wrap around a LED mesa including an active region, while being covered with passivation material. A substrate patterned along an internal surface together with a multi-layer reflector enables reduction of optical losses. A light transmissive fillet material proximate to edge emitting surfaces of an emitter chip may enable adequate coverage with lumiphoric material. An emitter chip may be elevated with increased thickness of solder material and/or contacts, and may reduce luminous flux loss when reflective materials are present on a submount.
