  • Publication number: 20240192578
    Abstract: A projector includes a first optoelectronic semiconductor chip for generating a first radiation having a first color. The projector also includes a second optoelectronic semiconductor chip for generating a second radiation-having a second color. The projector further includes a wavelength conversion element which is configured to generate a third radiation having a third color from a first portion of the first radiation. The projector additionally includes beam splitter. The projector also includes a scattering plate. The wavelength conversion element is configured to fully convert the first portion of the first radiation. The beam splitter is configured to branch off a second portion of the first radiation upstream of the wavelength conversion element. The scattering plate is arranged in a beam path of the second portion of the first radiation at a point at which the first portion has already been branched off.

  • Patent number: 11404402
    Abstract: A component assembly includes an intermediate carrier, a plurality of components and a plurality of anchoring elements. The components have at least two electrical devices and an insulating layer. At least one of the electrical devices is an optoelectronic semiconductor chip. The insulating layer is between the electrical devices of a same component. The at least two electrical devices of the same component are arranged next to one another and enclosed laterally by the insulating layer. The at least two electrical devices and the insulating layer of the same component are integral parts of a self-supporting and mechanically stable unit. The self-supporting and mechanically stable unit and the anchoring elements fix the positions of the components on the intermediate carrier. The components that are self-supporting and mechanically stable units are detachable from the intermediate carrier, and the anchoring elements release the components under mechanical load when the latter are removed.
