Abstract: A light emitting device includes a light emitting diode (“LED”), a first luminescent material that is configured to emit light having an emission peak in a green wavelength range, and a second luminescent material that is configured to emit narrow-spectrum light having an emission peak in an orange wavelength range. A light output of the light emitting device, which includes a portion of the light emitted by the LED, the light having the emission peak in the green wavelength range, and the light having the emission peak in the orange wavelength range, provides an appearance of white light. Related devices are also discussed.

Abstract: A stabilized quantum dot structure for use in a light emitting diode (LED) comprises, according to one embodiment, a luminescent particle comprising one or more semiconductors, a buffer layer overlying the luminescent particle, where the buffer layer comprises an amorphous material, and a barrier layer overlying the buffer layer, where the barrier layer comprises oxygen, nitrogen and/or carbon. According to another embodiment, the stabilized quantum dot structure includes a luminescent particle comprising one or more semiconductors, and a treated buffer layer comprising amorphous silica overlying the luminescent particle, where the stabilized quantum dot structure exhibits a quantum yield of at least about 0.7 when exposed to a blue light flux of about 30 W/cm2 at a temperature of 80-85° C. and relative humidity of 5% for 500 hours.
