Abstract: The present invention relates to an electric personal care apparatus comprising a skin contacting portion configured for contact with skin of a user. The skin contacting portion comprises a porous and compressible material. The porous and compressible material is configured to hold a fluid by capillary forces. The porous and compressible material is configured to be compressed due to pressure contact of the skin contacting portion with the skin of the user, and configured to release the fluid onto the skin of the user when the porous and compressible material is holding the fluid and being compressed.

Abstract: The invention provides a process for the production of a (particulate) luminescent material comprising particles, especially substantially spherical particles, having a porous inorganic material core with pores, especially macro pores, which are at least partly filled with a polymeric material with luminescent quantum dots embedded therein, wherein the process comprises (i) impregnating the particles of a particulate porous inorganic material with pores with a first liquid (“ink”) comprising the luminescent quantum dots and a curable or polymerizable precursor of the polymeric material, to provide pores that are at least partly filled with said luminescent quantum dots and curable or polymerizable precursor; and (ii) curing or polymerizing the curable or polymerizable precursor within pores of the porous material, as well as a product obtainable thereby.

Abstract: A light emitting device (1) is provided and comprises a light emitting diode (2) and a self-supporting wavelength converting element (3) arranged to receive at least part of the light emitted by said light emitting diode (2). The wavelength converting element has a flat light receiving surface (4), a light output surface (5) and lateral edge surfaces (6), wherein said lateral edge surfaces (6) are provided with a reflecting material (7). The reflecting edge surfaces increases the color homogeneity of the light exiting the device and the device is suitable for mass production.
