Patent number: 8035122Abstract: The present invention relates to light diffusion type light emitting diodes, more particularly, to a light emitting device having a large divergence angle by widely spreading an emitted light from a single color to a white color and a method thereof. The light emitting diode including the encapsulating layer according to the present invention is characterized by including at least two materials with different characteristics. According to the present invention, an encapsulating material for light emitting diode is mixed with at least two materials with a different polarity or a refractive index to easily form a light emitting diode. In addition, the light emitting diode die is bonded on the bottom surface of a cup, and an encapsulating material and microspheres are dispersed in the vicinity and upper portion of the light emitting diode and the entire light emitting diode, therefore the light emitting diode has a large and uniform divergence angle due to a light uniformly scattered and refracted.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2006Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignee: Korea Photonics Technology InstituteInventors: Jae-Pil Kim, Seung-Hyun Park, Tae-Hun Kim, Jae-Moon Lee, Young-Moon Yu

Patent number: 8035117Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) grown on a substrate doped with one or more rare earth or transition elements. The dopant ions absorb some or all of the light from the LED's active layer, pumping the dopant ion electrons to a higher energy state. The electrons are naturally drawn to their equilibrium state and they emit light at a wavelength that depends on the type of dopant ion. The invention is particularly applicable to nitride based LEDs emitting UV light and grown on a sapphire substrate doped with chromium. The chromium ions absorb the UV light, exciting the electrons on ions to a higher energy state. When they return to their equilibrium state they emit red light and some of the red light will emit from the LED's surface. The LED can also have active layers that emit green, blue and UV light, such that the LED emits green, blue, red and UV light which combines to create white light.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2006Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignee: Cree, Inc.Inventors: Steven P. DenBaars, Eric J. Tarsa, Michael Mack, Bernd Keller, Brian Thibeault

Publication number: 20110241023Abstract: The present invention provides a multichip LED and method of manufacture in which white light is produced. Specifically, a plurality of electrically interconnected LED chips (e.g., interconnected via red metal wire) is selected for conversion of light to white light. In a typical embodiment, the LED chips comprise: a blue LED chip, a red LED chip, a green LED chip, and a target LED chip whose light output is converted to white light. A wavelength of a light output by one or more of the plurality of chips will be measured. Based on the wavelength measurement, a conformal coating is applied to the one or more of the LED chips. The conformal coating has a phosphor ratio that is based on the wavelength. Moreover, the phosphor ratio is comprised of at least one of the following colors: yellow, green, or red. Using the conformal coating the light output of the target LED is then converted to white light.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2010Publication date: October 6, 2011Inventor: Byoung gu Cho
