  • Patent number: 9024517
    Abstract: Lamps and bulbs are disclosed generally comprising different combinations and arrangement 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. Additionally, this arrangement allows aesthetic masking or concealment of the appearance of the conversion regions or layers when the lamp is not illuminated. Some embodiments of the present invention utilize LED chips to provide one or more lighting components instead of providing the components through phosphor conversion. This can provide for lamps that can be operated with lower power and can be manufactured at lower cost.

  • Patent number: 8994029
    Abstract: A voltage equal to the threshold value of a TFT (106) is held in capacitor unit (109). When a video signal is inputted from a source signal line, the voltage held in the capacitor unit is added thereto and a resultant signal is applied to a gate electrode of the TFT (106). Even when a threshold value is varied for each pixel, each threshold value is held in the capacitor unit (109) for each pixel. Thus, the influence of a variation in threshold value can be eliminated. Further, holding of the threshold value is conducted by only the capacitor unit (109) and a charge does not move at writing of a video signal so that a voltage between both electrodes is not changed. Thus, it is not influenced by a variation in capacitance value.

The scatterers are dispersed to have a high Zeta potential, and promote Mie-like scattering of light passing through the OCLS. Mie-like scattering caused by the OCLS may help to frustrate the wave-guiding modes in the glass, e.g., by breaking down the in-phase coherence.

  • Patent number: 8841831
    Abstract: A light emitting device includes a first luminous body having a first light source and a long wavelength cut-off filter; and a second luminous body generating light of different color from that of the first luminous body, and having a second light source and a short wavelength cut-off filter. The first and the second light source emit light in a first wavelength range and a second wavelength range extending to a longer wavelength side than the first wavelength range while overlapping with the first wavelength range, respectively. The long and the short wavelength cut-off filter cut off light having a wavelength longer than a first set wavelength and shorter longer than a second set wavelength, respectively. Thus, light emitted from the first luminous body and light emitted from the second luminous body are mixed together, such that light in between the first set wavelength and the second set wavelength is reduced.
