  • Patent number: 9793452
    Abstract: A blue light leakage-suppressing LED structure for emitting white light includes at least one LED chip, an encapsulation element, a light output lens, and an optical fuse coating formed of a thermosensitive material; or includes at least one LED chip and an encapsulation element formed of a mixture of an encapsulation material and a thermosensitive material; or includes at least one blue LED chip, a fluorescent powder layer, an isolation region, an optical fuse layer, and a light output lens. Thanks to the hue changing property of the thermosensitive material, the LED structure can reduce the intensity of its short-wavelength light component and its overall brightness significantly before reaching the L70 threshold, after passing which the LED structure will emit excessive blue light. Thus, the user is protected from overexposure to blue light and will be reminded to replace the LED structure when the LED structure is about to malfunction.
