    Abstract: A solid state white light emitting device includes a semiconductor chip producing near ultraviolet (UV) energy. The device may include a reflector forming and optical integrating cavity. Phosphors, such as doped semiconductor nanophosphors, within the chip packaging of the semiconductor device itself, are excitable by the near UV energy. However the re-emitted light from the phosphors have different spectral characteristics outside the absorption ranges of the phosphors, which reduces or eliminates re-absorption. The emitter produces output light that is at least substantially white and has a color rendering index (CRI) of 75 or higher. The white light output of the emitter may exhibit color temperature in a range along the black body curve.

The phosphor ink composition is deposited through either thermal or piezoelectric ink jet printing; a thin layer is deposited in a desired pattern. UV curing (and, optionally, thermal curing) is used to fix each layer followed by subsequent deposition and curing. In this manner, undesirable phosphor settling does not occur and layers are selectively built up to form precise phosphor distributions.

    Abstract: An object is to provide a method for manufacturing a light-emitting device including a flexible substrate, in which separation is performed without separation at the interface between the light-emitting layer and the electrode. A spacer formed of a light absorbing material which absorbs laser light is formed over a partition of one of substrates, a coloring layer is formed over the other substrate, and the substrates are bonded to each other with the use of a bonding layer. The light-emitting layer and the electrode which are formed over the spacer are irradiated with laser light through the coloring layer, so that at least the bonding layer among the light-emitting layer, the electrode, the coloring layer, and the bonding layer is melted to form a fixed portion where the bonding layer and the spacer are bonded by welding.
