  • Patent number: 8174032
    Abstract: Semiconductor white light sources presented herein include special combinations of a blue source and a yellow source where these light fields are substantially overlapped. The source of blue light includes a blue emitting semiconductor operating in a conventional manner. However, this blue light source is combined with a special yellow light source and the light produced by each is mixed together. The yellow light source is primarily comprised of a high output ultraviolet emitting semiconductor coupled to a wavelength shifting medium whereby the semiconductor pumps the wavelength shifting medium causing re-emission at longer wavelengths; namely those corresponding to yellow colored light. These two sources operating in conjunction with each other operate to produce higher outputs than those attainable in competitive white light semiconductor systems. In special versions, provision is made whereby the color coordinates may be tuned by a variable current applied to the blue emitting semiconductor.

  • Publication number: 20120104442
    Abstract: An LED includes a substrate, an LED chip setting on the substrate and a reflection cup surrounding the LED chip on the substrate. The LED chip electrically connects with two electrodes setting on the substrate. The reflection cup is filled with an encapsulating material. A fluorescent layer is formed by heating the encapsulating material and deposits on an end of the encapsulation away from the LED chip. The fluorescent layer is used for converting light from the LED chip into a specific wavelength.
