  • Publication number: 20150294852
    Abstract: A lamp including a first and second lamp substrate with a first and second external electrode, respectively, and a first and second internal phosphor coating, respectively, wherein the first phosphor coating is a phosphor monolayer. A method of manufacturing a lamp, including screen-printing a phosphor monolayer on a first lamp substrate; screen-printing a phosphor layer on a second lamp substrate; joining the phosphor-coated faces of the first and second lamp substrates together with a seal; and joining a first and second electrode to the uncoupled exterior faces of the first and second lamp substrates, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20130241404
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to optical media and/or encapsulant precursors and optical media encapsulants produced therefrom, the optical media and/or encapsulants configurable for use in lighting devices. Specifically, the optical media and/or encapsulant precursors comprises at least one chemically functionalized silsesquioxane moiety. Methods of reducing degradation from heat and/or optical flux exposure using the optical media and/or encapsulant comprising chemically functionalized silsesquioxane are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20120202048
    Abstract: A method of forming a planar emissive device, such as a flat fluorescent lamp or plasma display panel, including the steps of applying a frit paste including spherical spacers onto a broad face of a first planar substrate; setting the frit paste; coupling a second planar substrate to the frit paste; and flowing the frit paste to form a seal between the first and second substrate, wherein the gap size between the first and second substrate is substantially defined by the spacer diameter.
