  • Combustion light-emitting device and corresponding method of fabrication
    Publication number: 20050142512
    Abstract: A light-emitting device comprises a structure defining an orderly and periodic series of cavities of nanometric dimensions, in which a process of catalytic combustion is confined. The dimensions and/or the distance between the micro-cavities are selected to obtain a light emission in the visible and prevent and/or attenuate at the same time emission of infrared radiation.

  • Electroluminescent device
    Patent number: 6861674
    Abstract: An electroluminescent device (1) comprises a supporting substrate (2); at least two electrodes (3) positioned on the substrate (2); at least a three-dimensional percolated layer (4), positioned on the substrate (2) between the two electrodes (3), having a metallic mesoporous structure defining a multitute of cavities of micrometric or nanometric dimensions. Present in the cavities of the three-dimensional percolated layer (4) are a multitude of luminescent inclusions (5), which operate to emit light when energized by electrons which, as a result of electron tunneling, effect pass through the three-dimensional percolated layer (4).

  • Three-dimensional tungsten structure for an incandescent lamp and light source comprising said structure
    Publication number: 20040239228
    Abstract: A three-dimensional structure in the form of filament (6) for an incandescent lamp comprises a plurality of tungsten microfilaments (6A) having micrometric and/or nanometric dimensions, to form a photonic crystal structure. The microfilaments (6A) are arranged so as to form a series of microcavities in the three-dimensional structure (6), a means having a refraction index different from that of tungsten being present within said microcavities. The described arrangement makes it possible to prevent propagation and spontaneous emission of IR radiation of specific wavelenghts e allows at the same time propagation and spontaneous emission of visible radiation.
