    Abstract: Coated color-converting particles and associated devices, systems, and methods are disclosed herein. A coating of the coated color-converting particles can include, for example, a parylene, such as a fluorinated parylene. In particular embodiments, the coating can be configured to protect a color-converting material of a particle core of the coated color-converting particles from detrimental reactions. For example, the coating can prevent, slow, or otherwise inhibit detrimental reactions between the color-converting material and a matrix material or between the color-converting material and an environmental constituent that can diffuse through a matrix. In particular embodiments, the coated color-converting particles can be incorporated into a matrix to form a composite. The composite can be used, for example, with a radiation transducer.

  • Patent number: 8431423
    Abstract: An underfill formation technique for LEDs molds a reflective underfill material to encapsulate LED dies mounted on a submount wafer while forming a reflective layer of the underfill material over the submount wafer. The underfill material is then hardened, such as by curing. The cured underfill material over the top of the LED dies is removed using microbead blasting while leaving the reflective layer over the submount surface. The exposed growth substrate is then removed from all the LED dies, and a phosphor layer is molded over the exposed LED surface. A lens is then molded over the LEDs and over a portion of the reflective layer. The submount wafer is then singulated. The reflective layer increases the efficiency of the LED device by reducing light absorption by the submount without any additional processing steps.

    Abstract: An emitter for an LED-based lighting device has multiple groups of LEDs that are independently addressable, allowing the emitter to be tuned to a desired color bin (e.g., a specific white color) by adjusting the relative current supplied to different groups. The LED dies for the groups and a phosphor chip for each LED die are individually selected such that each LED-die/phosphor-chip combination produces light in a desired source region associated with the group to which the LED belongs. Robotic pick-and-place systems can be used to automate assembly of the emitters by selecting LED dies from a bin based on based on spectral characteristics and phosphor chips from a number of distinct phosphor chip types.

  • Patent number: 8405099
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a light-emitting diode die package having an LED die and an accommodating housing. The LED die has a first doped layer doped with a p- or n-type dopant and a second doped layer doped with a different dopant from that doped in the first doped layer. Each of the first and second doped layers has an electrode-forming surface formed with an electrode, on which an insulation layer is formed. The insulation layer is formed with exposure holes for exposing the electrodes corresponding thereto. Each of the exposure holes is formed inside with an electrically conductive linker. The accommodating housing has an open end through which an accommodating space is accessible. The LED die is positioned within the accommodating space in such a manner that the electrically conductive linker protrudes outwardly from the accommodating space.
