Publication number: 20120126274Abstract: The invention relates to a composition comprising a binder material and nanoparticles having an average particle size of 100 nm or less having a first refractive index of at least 1.65 in respect of light of a first wavelength, and a second refractive index in the range of 1.60-2.2 in respect of light of a second wavelength, wherein said first refractive index is higher than said second refractive index, and wherein the first and second refractive indices may be tuned by adjusting the volume ratio of the nanoparticles to the binder material. The composition may improve light extraction when used for bonding a ceramic member to an LED, and/or may reduce the amount of light that is directed back towards the LED.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2010Publication date: May 24, 2012Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Hendrik Johannes Boudewijn Jagt, Christian Kleynen, Joanna Maria Elisabeth Baken
