  • Patent number: 9960330
    Abstract: Application of a wavelength conversion element is substantially independent of the fabrication of a side-emitting light emitting device. In an example embodiment, the wavelength conversion element is situated around the periphery of a non-wavelength converting lightguide that is situated above the light emitting surface. One or more specular and/or diffusing reflectors are used to direct the light in the lightguide toward the wavelength conversion element at the periphery. In another embodiment, an interference filter may be used to provide predominantly side-emitted light at interfaces between the elements of the light emitting device.

The first layer may be a low index epoxy, silicone, or other material. In another embodiment, a layer surrounding the LED die is processed after the lens is formed to create an air/lens interface for TIR. The LED die may include a phosphor layer, which results in even more side light being reflected off the interface and not absorbed by the substrate surface.

  • Patent number: 9819848
    Abstract: First and second multi-LED packages are installed on a carrier. Each package includes its own emitting diodes that are series coupled to each other and that are encased within a single, internally reflective package having two external terminals. Each package has a light output face from which light, produced by all of the emitting diodes contained therein is emitted in response to a forward current passing through the two terminals. Each package also has phosphor mediums each positioned to be stimulated by primary light of a respective one of its contained emitting diodes, and in response emit secondary wavelength-converted light that emerges from the light output face and is combined with some of the primary light to yield white light. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 9780270
    Abstract: An initially flat light sheet is formed by printing conductor layers and microscopic LEDs over a flexible substrate to connect the LEDs in parallel. The light sheet is then subjected to a molding process which forms 3-dimensional features in the light sheet, such as bumps of any shape. The features may be designed to create a desired light emission profile, increase light extraction, and/or create graphical images. In one embodiment, an integrated light sheet and touch sensor is formed, where the molded features convey touch positions of the sensor. In one embodiment, a curable resin is applied to the light sheet to fix the molded features. In another embodiment, optical features are molded over the flat light sheet. In another embodiment, each molded portion of the light sheet forms a separate part that is then singulated from the light sheet.
