  • Publication number: 20250113698
    Abstract: A light engine with distinct light sources sharing at least one optic may employ scattering particles to change the illuminance line profiles of one or more of the light sources so that they are more uniformly mixed in the far-field. The scattering particles may be integrated into phosphor layers of specific light sources or may be disposed in a separate layer. The scattering particles may be tunable based on the particular characteristics of the light source, such as their spectral characteristics or their chemical mixing characteristics.

  • Patent number: 12027566
    Abstract: Phosphor-converted LED side reflectors disclosed herein comprise pigments that are photochemically stable under illumination by light from the pcLED. The pigments absorb light in at least a portion of the spectrum of light emitted by the first phosphor converted LED. The side reflector may also comprise light scattering particles or air voids. The pigments, light scattering particles, or air voids may be homogeneously distributed in the reflector. Alternatively the side reflector may be layered, with the pigments, light scattering particles, or air voids inhomogeneously distributed in the reflector. The side reflector can include phosphor particles.

  • Publication number: 20210184085
    Abstract: Sidewall reflector structures disposed on the sidewalls of an LED or pcLED comprise a thin specular reflection layer and a light scattering layer disposed between the sidewall and the specular reflection layer. These sidewall reflector structures are more diffusively reflective than a specular reflector, yet maintain high reflectivity.
