Patent number: 11876155Abstract: Light-emitting diode (LED) packages, and more particularly broad electromagnetic spectrum LED packages are disclosed. Individual LED packages are disclosed that are capable of emitting various combinations of peak wavelengths across a broad electromagnetic spectrum, including one or more combinations of ultraviolet, visible, and infrared peak wavelengths. Such LED packages may also be broadly tunable across portions of the electromagnetic spectrum ranging from ultraviolet to infrared wavelengths. By providing such capabilities within a single light source provided by a single LED package, larger and more complex systems for broadband emissions that include multiple light sources, complex optical systems, mirrors, filters, and additional components may be avoided. LED chip arrangements, control schemes, and encapsulant arrangements are also disclosed for such broad electromagnetic spectrum LED packages.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2021Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: CreeLED, Inc.Inventors: David Suich, Michael Check, Colin Blakely

Patent number: 11839093Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods are described to enhance images rendered on an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display. An OLED device is formed with a first light emitting OLED stack, a charge generating layer (CGL), a second light emitting OLED stack, and a color filter. An OLED display pixel includes three sub-pixels where each subpixel is fabricated with a separate anode and a color filter. A dielectric barrier is disposed between the separate anodes and around the perimeter of each separate anode of the three sub-pixels. When current flows to a desired sub-pixel of the three sub-pixels, lateral current flow through the CGL to adjacent sub-pixels is impeded, resulting in light generation by the desired sub-pixel and reduction in unwanted light generation at sub-pixels adjacent to the desired sub-pixel. The OLED device can include micro lenses, which collimate light thereby reducing an aperture of emitted light to increase display brightness.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2020Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: KOPIN CORPORATIONInventors: Boryeu Tsaur, Hong K Choi
