  • Patent number: 8921877
    Abstract: A semiconductor light-emitting device and a method for manufacturing the same can include a wavelength converting layer located on at least one semiconductor light-emitting chip in order to emit various colored lights including white light. The semiconductor light-emitting device can include a base board, the chip mounted on the base board and a transparent plate disposed on the wavelength converting layer including a spacer and a phosphor having a high density. The wavelength converting layer can be formed in a thin uniform thickness between the transparent plate and a top surface of the chip using the spacer so as to extend toward the transparent plate. The semiconductor light-emitting device can be configured to improve light-emitting efficiency of the chip by using the thin wavelength converting layer including the phosphor having a high density, and therefore can emit a wavelength-converted light having a high light-emitting efficiency from a small light-emitting surface.

  • Patent number: 8912562
    Abstract: A white light source includes a short wavelength LED and a phosphor layer that emits light at longer visible wavelengths. A dichroic reflector transmits the longer wavelength light, and reflects some LED light onto the phosphor such that as light travels from the LED to the dichroic reflector it does not pass through the phosphor. The LED may emit blue light, and the dichroic reflector may transmit a second portion of the LED light, such that the light source output light includes both the second portion of the LED light and the longer wavelength phosphor light. The LED may be mounted on a flexible substrate having a cavity region and neighboring region, the LED being mounted in the cavity region. A dielectric layer may be thinner in the cavity region than in the neighboring region, or a hole may extend completely through the dielectric layer in the cavity region.
