Patent number: 8637883Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) device having a low index of refraction spacer layer separating the LED chip and a functional layer. The LED chip has a textured light emission surface to increase light extraction from the chip. The spacer layer has an index of refraction that is lower than both the LED chip and the functional layer. Most of the light generated in the LED chip passes easily into the spacer layer due to the textured surface of the chip. At the interface of the spacer layer and the functional layer the light sees a step-up in index of refraction which facilitates transmission. A portion of the light that has passed into the functional layer will be reflected or scattered back toward the spacer layer where some of it will experience total internal reflection. Total internal reflection at this interface may increase extraction efficiency by reducing the amount of light that re-enters the spacer layer and, ultimately, the LED chip where it may be absorbed.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2008Date of Patent: January 28, 2014Assignee: Cree, Inc.Inventor: Arpan Chakraborty
