  • Patent number: 8624258
    Abstract: Semiconductor elements deteriorate or are destroyed due to electrostatic discharge damage. The present invention provides a semiconductor device in which a protecting means is formed in each pixel. The protecting means is provided with one or a plurality of elements selected from the group consisting of resistor elements, capacitor elements, and rectifying elements. Sudden changes in the electric potential of a source electrode or a drain electrode of a transistor due to electric charge that builds up in a pixel electrode is relieved by disposing the protecting means between the pixel electrode of the light-emitting element and the source electrode or the drain electrode of the transistor. Deterioration or destruction of the semiconductor element due to electrostatic discharge damage is thus prevented.

  • Publication number: 20130258636
    Abstract: Many thousands of micro-LEDs (e.g., 25 microns per side) are deposited on a substrate. Some of the LEDs are formed to emit a peak wavelength of 450 nm (blue), and some are formed to emit a peak wavelength of 490 nm (cyan). A YAG (yellow) phosphor is then deposited on the LEDs, or a remote YAG layer is used. YAG phosphor is most efficiently excited at 450 nm and has a very weak emission at 490 nm. The two types of LEDs are GaN based and can be driven at the same current. The ratio of the two types of LEDs is controlled to achieve the desired overall color emission of the LED lamp. The blue LEDs optimally excite the YAG phosphor to produce white light having blue and yellow components, and the cyan LEDs broaden the emission spectrum to increase the CRI of the lamp while improving luminous efficiency. Other embodiments are described.

The LED chip is disposed on the substrate, and the phosphor body includes a hemisphere body and an extension part extended from the bottom of the hemisphere body. The phosphor body is disposed on the substrate and covers the LED chip. Besides, the transparent lens is disposed outside the phosphor body to cover the phosphor body to increase light extraction efficiency. With the implementation of the present invention, the setup of the extension part makes a longer vertical distance between the LED chip and the top of the phosphor body, so that the light in the normal direction of the LED chip can have a longer optical length, thereby to reduce the angular correlated color temperature deviation.
