  • Patent number: 10890553
    Abstract: A sensing device includes a first III-V compound stack and a second III-V compound stack. The first III-V compound stack has a first sensing area, and the second III-V compound stack has a second sensing area. A passivation layer fully covers the second sensing area. The first III-V compound stack is physically separated from the second III-V compound stack, and has material compositions and structures same as the second III-V compound stack.

  • Patent number: 9456484
    Abstract: The light-emitting device disclosed herein comprises a step down circuit and a current limit device, wherein the step down circuit prevents the current signal provided to the light-emitting device larger than the rating current value of the light-emitting device. Moreover, the current limit device only limits current signal while the power supply surges. The two stages protect circuit turn less power to heat.

  • Patent number: 9258867
    Abstract: A light emitting apparatus disclosed herein comprises a first control apparatus, a first light emitting device, a sense apparatus, a second control apparatus, a power source and a second light emitting device, wherein the second light emitting device is electrically connected to the power source which is not connected to the first light emitting device. The sense apparatus senses both temperature and current of the first light emitting device to generate a second driving signal. The second driving signal is then provided to control the second light emitting device to emit a light for compensating the CCT shift of the light emitted by the first light emitting device.
