    Abstract: A method is provided for producing a luminescence conversion element (4), in particular for an optoelectronic component. In the method a raw material (1) is provided, which is intended for further processing to yield the ceramic material and which contains luminescent material particles and a binder material. A blank is molded by injecting the raw material (1) into a closed mold (3). The blank is released from the mold (3). The binder material is removed from the blank. The blank is sintered to yield the luminescence conversion element (4), wherein the luminescent material particles are bonded together and/or with further particles of the raw material to yield the ceramic material. A luminescence conversion element and an optoelectronic component are additionally provided.

  • Patent number: 8338842
    Abstract: A solid state light sheet and method of fabricating the sheet are disclosed. In one embodiment, bare LED chips have top and bottom electrodes, where the bottom electrode is a large reflective electrode. The bottom electrodes of an array of LEDs (e.g., 500 LEDs) are bonded to an array of electrodes formed on a flexible bottom substrate. Conductive traces are formed on the bottom substrate connected to the electrodes. A transparent top substrate is then formed over the bottom substrate. Various ways to connect the LEDs in series are described along with many embodiments. In one method, the top substrate contains a conductor pattern that connects to LED electrodes and conductors on the bottom substrate.

  • Patent number: 8338199
    Abstract: A solid state light sheet and method of fabricating the sheet are disclosed. In one embodiment, bare blue-light LED chips have top and bottom electrodes, where the bottom electrode is a large reflective electrode. The bottom electrodes of an array of LEDs (e.g., 500 LEDs) are bonded to an array of electrodes formed on a flexible bottom substrate. Conductive traces are formed on the bottom substrate connected to the electrodes. In one embodiment, an intermediate sheet having holes is then affixed to the bottom substrate, with the LEDs passing through the holes. A transparent top substrate having conductors is then laminated over the intermediate sheet. In another embodiment, no intermediate sheet is used. Various ways to connect the LEDs in series are described along with many embodiments. The light sheet provides a practical substitute for a standard 2×4 foot fluorescent ceiling fixture. A phosphor is used to generate white light.

  • Publication number: 20120319142
    Abstract: A light emitting device is fabricated by providing a mounting substrate and an array of light emitting diode dies adjacent the mounting substrate to define gaps. A gel that is diluted in a solvent is applied on the substrate and on the array of light emitting dies. At least some of the solvent is evaporated so that the gel remains in the gaps, but does not completely cover the light emitting diode dies. For example, the gel substantially recedes from the substrate beyond the array of light emitting diode dies and also substantially recedes from an outer face of the light emitting diode dies. Related light emitting device structures are also described.

  • Publication number: 20120322181
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for deposition of thin film dielectrics, and in particular for chemical vapour deposition of nano-layer structures comprising multiple layers of dielectrics, such as, silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride and/or other silicon compatible dielectrics. The method comprises post-deposition surface treatment of deposited layers with a metal or semiconductor source gas, e.g. a silicon source gas. Deposition of silicon containing dielectrics preferably comprises silane-based chemistry for deposition of doped or undoped dielectric layers, and surface treatment of deposited dielectric layers with silane. Surface treatment provides dielectric layers with improved layer-to-layer uniformity and lateral continuity, and substantially atomically flat dielectric layers suitable for multilayer structures for electroluminescent light emitting structures, e.g. active layers containing rare earth containing luminescent centres.
