  • Patent number: 9882091
    Abstract: A solid state light emitting device includes a light emitting stack (20), a metallization (30), comprising a guard layer (36) of metal, and a dielectric layer (50) over the guard layer (36) of the metallization. During subsequent processing delamination and/or cracking may occur at the edges of the devices, sometimes referred to as die edge defects. To address these defects a plurality of stress-relief elements (62, 64) and/or anchor elements may be provided in an edge region of the metallization and/or dielectric layer for reducing delamination. The stress-relief elements (62, 64) are formed by regions of reduced thickness or increased thickness in the guard layer (36).

  • Patent number: 9841169
    Abstract: A lighting device (30) and a method of manufacturing such a lighting device are provided. The lighting device comprises a sheet assembly (7), which comprises a substrate (1) being at least partly light transmissive, a plurality of light sources (5) coupled to the substrate. At least a portion of the sheet assembly (7) is fixed in a rolled-up arrangement so as to form a roll (12), whereby the light sources (5) in the portion of the sheet assembly (7) are arranged to emit light at least partly inwards in the roll and/or at least partly towards at least one end (31) of the roll. The present invention is advantageous in that it provides enhanced lumen density output, which makes the lighting device useful for high brightness applications, such as head lights and fluid purification.

  • Publication number: 20170317251
    Abstract: A light emitting arrangement is suggested for generating directional projections of light with sharply defined beam profile. Light from a top-emitting solid state light source (12), having reflective side-coating (34), is pre-collimated via a beam-shaping optic (16), before being propagated through a secondary collimating funnel (18), capturing any light rays with still too great an escape angle. Chip-scale package dimensions may be achieved through the use of a thin-film side-coating and undersized phosphor layers. Substrate level process flow further allows for parallel processing of a plurality of devices.

  • Publication number: 20170301841
    Abstract: A hollow frame is configured to surround the periphery of a substantially self-supporting flip-chip light emitting device. The frame may be shaped to also contain a wavelength conversion element above the light emitting surface of the light emitting device. The lower surface of the light emitting device, which is exposed through the hollow frame, includes contact pads coupled to the light emitting element for surface mounting the light emitting module on a printed circuit board or other fixture. The flip-chip light emitting device may include a patterned sapphire substrate (PSS) upon which the light emitting element is grown, the patterned surface providing enhanced light extraction from the light emitting element, through the patterned sapphire substrate.

  • Patent number: 9263651
    Abstract: An LED package including a collimator body adapted to collect and/or reflect and/or focus light. An upper plane provided by the collimator body defines a mainly horizontal plane. At least one reflection surface is provided by the collimator body and is at least partially angled to the horizontal plane. The collimator body includes a recess for receiving a lighting element including a light emitting front face such that the reflection surface extends at least partially below the level of the front face in an assembled state. Due to the angle of the reflection surface with respect to the horizontal plane of the collimator body, a small light source and a high luminous flux at the same time are provided so that the luminance and the brightness of the LED package are increased.
