Publication number: 20160186934Abstract: A solid state illumination device includes a semiconductor light emitter mounted on a base and surrounded by sidewalls, e.g., in a circular, elliptical, triangular, rectangular or other appropriate arrangement, to define a chamber. A top element, which may be reflective, may be coupled to the sidewalls to further define the chamber. The light produced by the semiconductor light emitter is emitted through the sidewalls of the chamber. The sidewalls and/or top element may include wavelength converting material, for example, as a plurality of dots on the surfaces. An adjustable wavelength converting element may be used within the chamber, with the adjustable wavelength converting element being configured to adjust the surface area that is exposed to the light emitted by the semiconductor light emitter in the chamber to alter an optical property of the chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2015Publication date: June 30, 2016Inventors: Gerard Harbers, Mark A.

Patent number: 9086213Abstract: A light emitting device is produced using a plurality of light emitting diodes within a light mixing cavity formed by surrounding sidewalls. The sidewalls may be integrally formed as part of a surrounding heat sink or alternatively may be an insert into a cavity within a heat sink. The reflective sidewalls may be coated with a diffusing material and/or covered with one or more phosphors. Multiple phosphors are located at different locations of the cavity, e.g., on the sidewalls, a window covering the output port, or on a reflector attached to the bottom of the cavity. The light emitting diodes may be positioned rotationally symmetrically around the optical axis on a board.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2008Date of Patent: July 21, 2015Assignee: Xicato, Inc.Inventors: Gerard Harbers, Mark A. Pugh, Menne T. de Roos, John S. Yriberri, Peter K. Tseng

Patent number: 8636378Abstract: A light emitting device is produced using one or more light emitting diodes within a light mixing cavity formed by surrounding sidewalls. The light emitting device includes a light adjustment member that is movable to alter the shape or color of the light produced by the light emitting device. For example, the light adjustment member may alter the exposure of the wavelength converting area to the light emitted that is emitted by the light emitting diode in the light mixing cavity. Alternatively, the height of a lens may be adjusted to change the width of the beam produced. Alternatively, a movable substrate with areas of different wavelength converting materials may adjustably cover the output port of the light mixing cavity to alter the color point of the light produced.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2012Date of Patent: January 28, 2014Assignee: Xicato, Inc.Inventors: Gerard Harbers, Mark A. Pugh, Menne T. Deroos, John S. Yriberri, Peter K. Tseng

Patent number: 8376577Abstract: An LED module includes an upper housing with in internal cavity and a lower housing. At least one light emitting diode is held in the LED module and emits light into the internal cavity, which is emitted through an output port in the upper housing. An optical structure, which may be disk or cylinder shaped may be mounted over the output port and light is emitted through the top surface and/or edge surface of the optical structure. The lower housing has a cylindrical external surface, which may be part of a fastener, such as screw threads, so that the LED module can be coupled to a heat sink, bracket or frame. The light emitting diode is thermally coupled to the lower housing, which may serve as a heat spreader. Additionally, a flange may be disposed between the upper housing and lower housing.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2008Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: Xicato, Inc.Inventors: Gerard Harbers, Mark A.
