  • Patent number: 8324647
    Abstract: A light emitting module with improved optical functionality and reduced thermal resistance is described, which comprises a light emitting device (LED), a wavelength converting (WC) element and an inorganic optically-transmissive thermally-conductive (OTTC) element. The WC element is capable of absorbing light generated from the LED at a specific wavelength and re-emitting light having a different wavelength. The re-emitted light and any unabsorbed light exits through at least one surface of the module. The OTTC is in physical contact with the WC element and at least partially located in the optical path of the light. The OTTC comprises one or more layers of inorganic material having a thermal conductivity greater than that of the WC element. As such, a compact unitary integrated module is provided with excellent thermal characteristics, which may be further enhanced when the OTTC provides a thermal barrier for vertical heat propagation through the module but not lateral propagation.

  • Publication number: 20120294025
    Abstract: An LED assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention may improve dark regions generated between LED chips by employing a first reflective layer between the LED chips. By employing a transparent optical layer or an optical layer including a scattering particle between an LED chip and a phosphor layer, direct contact between the LED chip and the phosphor layer may be avoided, thereby preventing a low light extraction efficiency. Further, by employing a second reflection layer on side surfaces of an LED chip, an optical layer, and a phosphor layer, a relatively high contrast may be obtained. An LED assembly may enhance contrast through a reflective layer while increasing light extraction efficiency by including a scattering particle in a phosphor layer.
