  • Patent number: 10219345
    Abstract: A light emitting device can include a substrate with LED chips disposed on a surface of the substrate. The LED chips can include chips of at least four different colors. Electrical paths disposed in part on the substrate and in part within the substrate can connect the LED chips into at least three independently addressable groups, and the number of independently addressable groups can be less than the number of colors of LED chips, so that at least one of the groups includes LED chips of two or more different colors.

  • Patent number: 10190047
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are green-emitting, garnet-based phosphors having the formula (Lu1?a?b?cYaTbbAc)3(Al1?dBd)5(O1?eCe)12:Ce,Eu, where A is selected from the group consisting of Mg, Sr, Ca, and Ba; B is selected from the group consisting of Ga and In; C is selected from the group consisting of F, Cl, and Br; and 0?a?1; 0?b?1; 0<c?0.5; 0?d?1; and 0<e?0.2. These phosphors are distinguished from anything in the art by nature of their inclusion of both an alkaline earth and a halogen. Their peak emission wavelength may lie between about 500 nm and 540 nm; in one embodiment, the phosphor (Lu,Y,A)3Al5(O,F,Cl)12:Eu2+ has an emission at 540 nm. The FWHM of the emission peak lies between 80 nm and 150 nm. The present green garnet phosphors may be combined with a red-emitting, nitride-based phosphor such as CaAlSiN3 to produce white light.

  • Patent number: 9530943
    Abstract: A color-tunable LED emitter with high CRI can be made by mounting multiple LED chips onto a ceramic substrate that has been patterned with metal contacts and paths so as to connect the LED chips into multiple independently addressable LED groups. Each LED group can produce light of a different color, allowing the color of the emitter to be tuned by adjusting the relative amount of operating current supplied to each LED group. At least some of the LED groups include LEDs coated with a broad spectrum phosphor that can reduce the sharpness of spectral peaks, thereby improving CRI and particular components of CRI, such as R9.

  • Patent number: 8414796
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are cerium doped, garnet phosphors emitting in the yellow region of the spectrum, and having the general formula (Y,A)3(Al,B)5(O,C)12:Ce3+, where A is Tb, Gd, Sm, La, Sr, Ba, Ca, and/or Mg, and substitutes for Y, B is Si, Ge, B, P, and/or Ga, and substitutes for Al, and C is F, Cl, N, and/or S, where C substitutes for O. Relative to a solid-state-reaction method, the instant co-precipitation methods provide a more homogeneous mixing environment to enhance the distribution of the Ce3+ activator in the YAG matrix. Such a uniform distribution has the benefit of an increased emission intensity. The primary particle size of the as-prepared phosphor is about 200 nm, with a narrow distribution.
