  • Patent number: 8373188
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide light-emitting diodes having a distributed Bragg reflector. A light-emitting diode (LED) according to an exemplary embodiment includes a light-emitting structure arranged on a first surface of a substrate, the light-emitting structure including a first conductivity-type semiconductor layer, a second conductivity-type semiconductor layer, and an active layer interposed between the first conductivity-type semiconductor layer and the second conductivity-type semiconductor layer. A first distributed Bragg reflector is arranged on a second surface of the substrate opposite to the first surface, the first distributed Bragg reflector to reflect light emitted from the light-emitting structure. The first distributed Bragg reflector has a reflectivity of at least 90% with respect to light of a first wavelength in a blue wavelength range, light of a second wavelength in a green wavelength range, and light of a third wavelength in a red wavelength range.

  • Publication number: 20120049223
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to light emitting diodes. A light emitting diode according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a substrate having a first side edge and a second side edge, and a light emitting structure arranged on the substrate. The light emitting structure includes a first conductivity-type semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a second conductivity-type semiconductor layer. A transparent electrode layer including a concave portion and a convex portion is arranged on the second conductivity-type semiconductor layer. A first electrode pad contacts an upper surface of the first conductivity-type semiconductor layer and is located near a center of the first side edge. Two second electrode pads are located near opposite distal ends of the second side edge to supply electric current to the second conductivity-type semiconductor layer.

  • Publication number: 20060145588
    Abstract: A phosphor paste composition, which includes phosphate ester as a dispersant to increase the loading amount of a phosphor without greatly increasing the viscosity, thus improving luminance and maintaining excellent workability. In addition, a display using the phosphor paste composition is provided. The phosphor paste of the current invention is obtained by mixing a binder solution composed of a solvent and a binder with phosphate ester serving as a dispersant and a phosphor, in which the phosphate ester used as the dispersant is phosphate ester of a block copolymer of nonylphenol and polyoxyethyleneglycol or phosphate ester having acryl as a main chain. A preferred phosphor paste is composed of 0.1 to 3 wt % of the phosphate ester serving as a dispersant, 40 to 70 wt % of the phosphor, and the balance being the binder solution.
