Patents by Inventor Suzanne Mohney

Suzanne Mohney has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • LIGHT EMITTING DIODES WITH QUANTUM DOT PHOSPHORS
    Publication number: 20150021549
    Abstract: A quantum well-based p-i-n light emitting diode is provided that includes nanopillars with an average linear dimension of between 50 nanometers and 1 micron. The nanopillars include a laminar layer of quantum wells capable of non-radiative energy transfer to quantum dot nanocrystals. Quantum dot-Quantum well coupling through the side walls of the nanopillar-configured LED structure achieves a close proximity between quantum wells and quantum dots while retaining the overlying contact electrode structures. An white LED with attractive properties relative to conventional incandescent and fluorescence lighting devices is produced.
    Type: Application
