  • Patent number: 9115875
    Abstract: A light-emitting lamp has a bulb shell, a convective accelerator, a light-emitting filament and a bulb base. The bulb shell defines an interior volume filled with a filling gas, and comprises a first transparent material. The convective accelerator is disposed within the interior volume, and comprises a second transparent material. The convective accelerator contains a flue with first and second openings. The light-emitting filament is disposed within the flue, comprising a plurality of semiconductor light-emitting elements. When the light-emitting filament emits light to generate heat, the flue allows a convection flow of the filling gas to pass into one of the first and second openings. The bulb base supports the bulb shell and the light-emitting filament, and has electrical conductors in electrical communication with the light-emitting filament. The first and the second openings have different distances apart from the bulb base.

  • Patent number: 8450748
    Abstract: A light emitting device comprises: an LED chip array comprising a plurality of LEDs formed on a single die (monolithic chip array) and at least one discrete LED that is separate from the LED chip array connected in series with the LED chip array. In an AC-drivable device the LED chip array is AC-drivable and two or more discrete LEDs are configured to be AC-drivable. The device can further comprise a package in which the LED chip array and discrete LED(s) are mounted. The discrete LEDs are configured such that positive and negative half wave periods of an AC drive voltage are mapped onto oppositely connected LED such that oppositely connected LED chips are alternately operable on a respective half wave period.

  • Publication number: 20120326341
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a self assembling light emitting diode lens is disclosed. The method includes providing a first fluid with a first viscosity and a second fluid with a second viscosity. The refractive index of the first fluid is the same as the refractive index of the second fluid. Then the first fluid and the second fluid are blended in a predetermined ratio to obtain a third fluid with a third viscosity. Then the third fluid is dispended on a light emitting diode, which is disposed on a substrate. The third fluid is cured to form a lens on the light emitting diode. The shape of the lens is controlled by the third viscosity.
