    Abstract: Certain example embodiments relate to organic light emitting diode (OLED) inclusive devices, and/or methods of making the same. A substrate supports a transparent conductive coating (TCC) based layer, and first and second organic layers disposed thereon. A reflective conductive layer is supported by the organic layers. An out-coupling layer stack (OCLS) interposed between the organic layers and a viewer of the device includes a hybrid organic-inorganic polymer matrix having scatterers dispersed throughout in a manner such that each scatterer is located in the far field of its nearest neighbor. 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: 8845380
    Abstract: The color of light emitted by an assembled light emitting diode (LED) based illumination device with at least two different wavelength converting materials is automatically tuned to within a predefined tolerance of a target color point by modifying portions of the wavelength converting materials. The color of light emitted from the assembled LED based illumination device is measured and a material modification plan is determined based at least in part on the measured color of light and a desired color of light to be emitted. The material modification plan may further include the location of the wavelength converting materials to be modified. The wavelength converting materials are selectively modified in accordance with the material modification plan so that the assembled LED based illumination device emits a second color of light that is within a predetermined tolerance of a target color point.

  • 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.
