Publication number: 20070262340Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to a light emitting semiconductor apparatus with reduced color unevenness and suppressed topical deterioration over time with regard to an amount and chromaticity of the illuminating light. The light emitting semiconductor apparatus of the disclosed subject matter can include three separate bonding pads. Among those, the centrally located bonding pad is die bonded to two types of light emitting devices which have an identical material and structure and almost equal sizes, but are different in orientation and direction characteristic of PN-electrodes. The bonding pad located in an outermost location is die-bonded to the light emitting device. In this case, the direction characteristic of a central light emitting device exhibits a substantial reverse conical form while the direction characteristic of the light emitting device exhibits a substantial conical form.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2007Publication date: November 15, 2007Inventors: Kazunori Sumi, Dai Aoki

Publication number: 20070262341Abstract: A vertical light-emitting diode (VLED) structure with a eutectic layer is described. The eutectic layer improves the heat conductivity of the device, thereby leading to increased brightness and higher luminous efficiency. The eutectic bonds of this layer also improve the reliability of the VLED structure since they have a lower coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). A metal protective layer may be included to prevent diffusion of the eutectic layer thereby increasing the reliability and lifetime of the VLED structure. A reflective layer and/or a patterned surface may be added to this structure to further enhance the emitted light and increase the luminous efficiency.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2006Publication date: November 15, 2007Inventors: WEN-HUANG LIU, Jui-Kang Yen
