  • Patent number: 11171266
    Abstract: Pre-formed wavelength conversion elements are attached to light emitting elements and are shaped to reduce repeated occurrences of total internal reflection. The sides of the shaped elements may be sloped or otherwise shaped so as to introduce a change in the angle of incidence of reflected light upon the light extraction surface of the wavelength conversion element. The pre-formed wavelength conversion elements may be configured to extend over an array of light emitting elements, with features between the light emitting elements that are shaped to reduce repeated occurrences of total internal reflection.

  • Patent number: 11088291
    Abstract: An anti-reflection coating has an average total reflectance of less than 10%, for example less than 5.9% such as from 4.9% to 5.9%, over a spectrum of wavelengths of 400-1100 nm and a range of angles of incidence of 0-90 degrees with respect to a surface normal of the anti-reflection coating. An anti-reflection coating has a total reflectance of less than 10%, for example less than 6% such as less than 4%, over an entire spectrum of wavelengths of 400-1600 nm and an entire range of angles of incidence of 0-70 degrees with respect to a surface normal of the anti-reflection coating.

  • Patent number: 9097924
    Abstract: A display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a plurality of pixel units, a driving unit, and column insulation structure. The first substrate has a display area and a non-display area outside of the display area. The pixel units are formed at the display area of the first substrate and configured to receive an output signal. Formed at the non-display area of the first substrate, the driving unit includes first and second conductive layers, and first and second insulation layers which are alternately arranged. The connecting layer is connected between the first and second conductive layers via the through-holes formed at the first and second insulation layers. The column insulation structure corresponds to the connecting layer and is formed between the first and second substrates.

  • Patent number: 8987016
    Abstract: The invention relates to light-emitting devices, and related components, systems and methods. In one aspect, the present invention is related to light emitting diode (LED) light extraction efficiency. A non-limiting example, the application teaches a method for improving light emitting diode (LED) extraction efficiency, by providing a nano-rod light emitting diode; providing quantum wells; and reducing the size of said nano-rod LED laterally in the quantum-well plane (x and y), thereby improving LED extraction efficiency.

  • Patent number: 5617328
    Abstract: An automatic code pattern generator apparatus is disclosed which has a processor. The processor is for receiving a plurality of instructions including an instruction indicating a particular polygon specification associated with cells of at least one physical layer of a pre-programmed integrated circuit chip. The processor also receives at least one instruction indicating a regular ordered pattern of a plurality of the cells on the physical layers of the pre-programmed integrated circuit chip. The processor generates a code layer including a design of a layout of the polygons according to the regularly ordered pattern on the physical layers of the pre-programmed integrated circuit. The generated code layer also includes a mapping relationship between cell addresses, and corresponding ones of the cells associated with the polygons. The processor may also receive information indicating variations in particular addressed cells associated with the polygons of the regularly ordered pattern of cells.
