    Abstract: Opal glass compositions and devices incorporating opal glass compositions are described herein. The compositions solve problems associated with the use of opal glasses as light-scattering layers in electroluminescent devices, such as organic light-emitting diodes. In particular, embodiments solve the problem of high light absorption within the opal glass layer as well as the problem of an insufficiently high refractive index that results in poor light collection by the layer. Particular devices comprise light-emitting diodes incorporating light scattering layers formed of high-index opal glasses of high light scattering power that exhibit minimal light attenuation through light absorption within the matrix phases of the glasses.

  • Publication number: 20120327658
    Abstract: A lead frame for a light-emitting diode (LED). The lead frame includes a first lead and a second lead. Each lead includes a top portion and an integrated wire-clasping portion. The first and second top portions each angle away from the center of the lead frame to form an increasingly larger gap between the two leads. The wire-clasping portions of each lead initially lie in a common plane and are adjacent one another. After securing the wire to the wire-clasping portions of the lead frame, the leads of the lead frame are rotated or twisted approximately 90 degrees such that the wire-clasping portions of the leads are opposite one another, rather than lying in the same plane. The wires and attached lead frame are inserted into a lampholder, the lampholder recesses receiving the top tabs of the lead frame and holding the wires and lead frame in place.

  • Publication number: 20120326159
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are generally related to LED chips having improved overall emission by reducing the light-absorbing effects of barrier layers adjacent mirror contacts. In one embodiment, a LED chip comprises one or more LEDs, with each LED having an active region, a first contact under the active region having a highly reflective mirror, and a barrier layer adjacent the mirror. The barrier layer is smaller than the mirror such that it does not extend beyond the periphery of the mirror. In another possible embodiment, an insulator is further provided, with the insulator adjacent the barrier layer and adjacent portions of the mirror not contacted by the active region or by the barrier layer. In yet another embodiment, a second contact is provided on the active region.

  • Publication number: 20120326182
    Abstract: Provided is an image display apparatus in which color breakup of a reflection image formed from reflected ambient light may be reduced to suppress the influence of an ambient environment. The image display apparatus includes multiple pixels. Each of the pixels includes a light-emitting layer and a structure layer having a refractive index distribution in an in-plane direction parallel to a screen of the image display apparatus, for extracting light generated from the light-emitting layer. The structure layer includes multiple structures formed of a first medium and a layer formed of a second medium having a refractive index different from a refractive index of the first medium. The multiple structures are non-periodically arranged in the layer. Reflected ambient light is reflected by the multiple structures formed of the first medium to have an overlap range to reduce color breakup of a reflection image formed from the reflected ambient light.
