Patents by Inventor Ludwig Ploetz

Ludwig Ploetz has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10170453
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for generating mixed light, which comprises three semiconductor chips, emitting in the blue spectral range, of three devices. Arranged in the light paths of the individual semiconductor chips are different conversion elements which are configured to convert primary radiation into secondary radiation. The total radiation (S1, S2, S3) exiting the respective devices (10, 20, 30) has a corresponding chromaticity coordinate on the black body curve of the CIE color diagram 1931 or lies within a color quadrilateral of the CIE color diagram.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 12, 2014
    Date of Patent: January 1, 2019

  • Publication number: 20110141716
    Abstract: An illumination device (1) for backlighting a display is disclosed. The illumination device comprises: at least one semiconductor body (3), suitable for generating electromagnetic radiation of a first wavelength range, a first wavelength conversion substance (30), which is disposed downstream of the radiation-emitting front side (6) of the semiconductor body (3) in the emission direction (8) thereof and is suitable for converting radiation of the first wavelength range into radiation of a second wavelength range, which is different from the first wavelength range, and a second wavelength conversion substance (31), which is disposed downstream of the radiation-emitting front side (6) of the semiconductor body (3) in the emission direction (8) thereof and is suitable for converting radiation of the first wavelength range into radiation of a third wavelength range, which is different from the first and second wavelength ranges. A display comprising such an illumination device (1) is furthermore described.
