  • Publication number: 20100044739
    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: 7534634
    Abstract: A surface-mountable light-emitting diode light source is described, in which the leadframe-bends toward the rear side of the package that are required for surface mounting lie within a transparent plastic molded body. Also described is a method of producing a mixed-light, preferably white-light source on the basis of a UV- or blue-emitting semiconductor LED. The LED is mounted on a leadframe, a transparent plastics molding composition is mixed with a conversion substance and possibly further fillers to form a molding composition. The leadframe is encapsulated, preferably by the injection-molding process, with the molding composition in such a way that the LED is surrounded on its light-exiting sides by the molding composition.

  • Patent number: 7455461
    Abstract: To secure an optical lens over an optoelectronic transmitter or receiver, it is proposed to use a UV-initiated or photoinitiated, cationically curing epoxy resin, by means of which the bonded joint can be set and thereby fixed in a few seconds. Also proposed, for use as adhesives, are resin compositions that can be applied as liquids, are optically matched, and are optimized for durable, reliable use in optoelectronic components and for the large-scale manufacture thereof.

  • Patent number: 7288606
    Abstract: A casting resin compound as an assembly and encapsulation material for electronic and optoelectronic component parts, modules and components, for example for casting out optoelectronic components on the basis of acid anhydride-curable epoxy compounds, particularly bisphenol A-diglycidyl ether, contains multi-functional epoxy novolak resins, particularly an epoxy cresol novolak. This casting resin compound exhibits a clearly increased glass transition temperature, is suitable for mass-production, exhibits no health deteriorations, and supplies SMT-capable products that can be utilized in the automotive sector.

  • Patent number: 7183661
    Abstract: Epoxy-resin systems resistant to aging, molded materials and components generated from them, and their utilization. An epoxy-resin system especially suitable in the application of casting-resin methods comprising an epoxide-containing A component based on a glycidyl ether or glycidyl ester and a B component containing anhydride as a hardener is proposed, where a sterically hindered amine is added to the A component as a stabilizer to prevent aging of molded materials. Light-emitting components potted with it exhibit increased aging stability, especially as with respect to light yield over time. The epoxy-resin system can also be used for encapsulants and molding compositions, and can be blended with acrylates, for all applications, particularly in the exterior.
