  • Patent number: 8049236
    Abstract: A substrate for an LED assembly can have a plurality of cups formed therein. At least one cup can be formed within another cup. The cups can be co-axial with respect to one another, for example. A machined surface of the substrate can enhance reflectivity of the LED assembly. A transparent and/or non-global solder mask can enhance reflectivity of the LED assembly. A transparent ring can enhance reflectivity of the LED assembly. By enhancing reflectivity of the LED assembly, the brightness of the LED assembly can be increased. Brighter LED assemblies can be used in applications such as flashlights, displays, and general illumination.

  • Publication number: 20110260191
    Abstract: The light extraction efficiency of a typical light-emitting diode (LED) is improved by incorporating one-dimensional ZnO nanorods. The light extraction efficiency is improved about 31% due to the waveguide effect of ZnO sub-microrods, compared to an LED without the nanorods. Other shapes of ZnO microrods and nanorods are produced using a simple non-catalytic wet chemical growth method at a low temperature on an indium-tin-oxide (ITO) top contact layer with no seed layer. The crystal morphology of a needle-like or flat top hexagonal structure and the density and size of ZnO microrods and nanorods are easily modified by controlling the pH value and growth time. The waveguide phenomenon in each ZnO rod is observed using confocal scanning electroluminescence microscopy (CSEM) and micro-electroluminescence spectra (MES).

  • Publication number: 20110215345
    Abstract: Lamps and bulbs are disclosed generally comprising different combinations and arrangements of a light source, one or more wavelength conversion materials, regions or layers which are positioned separately or remotely with respect to the light source, and a separate diffusing layer. This arrangement allows for the fabrication of lamps and bulbs that are efficient, reliable and cost effective and can provide an essentially omni-directional emission pattern, even with a light source comprised of a co-planar arrangement of LEDs. The lamps according to the present invention can also comprise thermal management features that provide for efficient dissipation of heat from the LEDs, which in turn allows the LEDs to operate at lower temperatures. The lamps can also comprise optical elements to help change the emission pattern from the generally directional (e.g. Lambertian) pattern of the LEDs to a more omni-directional pattern.
