  • Publication number: 20110186867
    Abstract: An arrangement having at least two light-emitting semiconductor components (101, 111) arranged adjacent to one another has envelopes (102, 112) at least partly surrounding the at least two light-emitting semiconductor components in each case. The envelopes contain a converter substance, which partly or completely converts the wavelength range of the radiation emitted by the semiconductor components. At least one optical damping element (103) is arranged between the at least two light-emitting semiconductor components, which optically isolates the respective envelopes of the semiconductor components in order to reduce a coupling-in from at least one envelope (102) into at least one other of the envelopes (112), or from at least one semiconductor component (101) into the envelope (112) of at least one of the other semiconductor components (111).

  • Patent number: 7862216
    Abstract: A lighting device is disclosed, which is provided for the front region of a motor vehicle, for example in a motor vehicle headlight, and which emits electromagnetic radiation during operation. The lighting device comprises at least one first primary radiation source which emits infrared radiation, and at least one second primary radiation source which emits visible light, wherein the first primary radiation source and the second primary radiation source are arranged in such a way that the second primary radiation source outshines the first primary radiation source and thus generates a color impression of the lighting device which deviates from the color impression stemming from the infrared radiation source alone.

  • Patent number: 7581860
    Abstract: A headlight having a multitude of headlight elements, which each have at least one semiconductor chip which emits electromagnetic radiation; a primary optics element, which reduces the divergence of the light which is incident through the light input; and at least one headlight element output, which emits a part of the headlight light from the headlight element. At least some of the headlight element outputs are arranged in at least two groups in such a way that the arrangement of at least one of the groups and/or at least overall arrangement of headlight element outputs of multiple groups corresponds essentially to a desired emission characteristic of the headlight, in that, in particular, it has a shape which corresponds essentially to the cross-sectional shape of a desired headlight beam, wherein the semiconductor chips which belong to the headlight element outputs of one group can each be operated independently of other semiconductor chips.
