Patent number: 9196800Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2009Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: OSRAM GmbHInventors: Ulrike Reeh, Klaus Höhn, Norbert Stath, Günter Waitl, Peter Schlotter, Jürgen Schneider, Ralf Schmidt

Patent number: 8900894Abstract: In a method for producing a radiation-emitting optoelectronic component, a semiconductor chip is mounted by a first main area onto a carrier body and is electrically conductively connected at a first contact area to a first connection region, and a transparent electrically insulating encapsulation layer is applied to the chip and the carrier body. A first cutout in the encapsulation layer for at least partly uncovering a second contact area of the chip is produced, and a second cutout in the encapsulation layer for at least partly uncovering a second connection region of the carrier body is produced. Finally, an electrically conductive layer, which electrically conductively connects the second contact area of the semiconductor chip and the second connection region of the carrier body, is applied.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2012Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: OSRAM Opto Semiconductor GmbHInventors: Ewald Karl Michael Guenther, Jörg Erich Sorg, Norbert Stath

Patent number: 8513682Abstract: An optoelectronic component includes a carrier element. At least two elements are arranged in an adjacent fashion on a first side of the carrier element. Each element has at least one optically active region for generating the electromagnetic radiation. The optoelectronic component has an electrically insulating protective layer arranged at least in part on a surface of the at least two adjacent elements which lies opposite the first side. The protective layer, at least in a first region arranged between the at least two adjacent elements, at least predominantly prevents a transmission of the electromagnetic radiation generated by the optically active regions.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2008Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: OSRAM Opto Semiconductors GmbHInventors: Walter Wegleiter, Norbert Stath, Bert Braune, Karl Weidner, Matthias Rebhan, Hans Wulkesch
