  • Publication number: 20140327361
    Abstract: A colour tunable lighting module is described which includes at least three solid state lighting emitters (such as light emitting diodes) and at least two wavelength converting elements (such as phosphors). The three solid state lighting emitters are formed of the same semiconductor material system and the light generated by them has dominant wavelengths in the blue-green-orange range of the optical spectrum. The two wavelengths converters are used re-emit some of the light from two of the emitters in broader spectra having longer dominant wavelengths, while the third emitter is selected to emit light at a wavelength between the dominant wavelengths of the light from the two emitters and the two converters. A control system may be employed to monitor and control the module and the lighting module can be optimised for tunable high colour quality white light applications.

  • Publication number: 20140322840
    Abstract: A system for self-aligning assembly and packaging of semiconductor lasers allows reduction of time, cost and testing expenses for high power density systems. A laser package mounting system, such as a modified TO-can (transistor outline can), has modifications that increase heat transfer from the active laser to a heat exchanger or other heat sink. A prefabricated heat exchanger assembly mounts both a laser package and one or more lenses. Direct mounting of a fan assembly to the package further minimizes assembly steps. Components may be physically and optically aligned during assembly by clocking and other indexing means, so that the entire system is self-aligned and focused by the assembly process without requiring post-assembly adjustment. This system can lower costs and thereby enable the use of high powered semiconductor lasers in low cost, high volume production, such as consumer items.

LEDs are formed by releasing a band of the first electrode around each take-up area, including forming a mask defining the bands on the second electrode, chemically etching the planarizing material, stopped so as to preserve planarizing material, chemically etching the portion of nanowires thus released, and then chemically etching the remaining planarizing material. A trench is formed along each of the bands as far as the insulating face and the LEDs are placed in series by connecting the take-up areas and bands of the first electrode.

  • Patent number: 8835907
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a semiconductor device in which the step can be simplified, the manufacturing cost can be suppressed, and the decrease in yield can be suppressed. A semiconductor device of the present invention includes an antenna, a storage element, and a transistor, wherein a conductive layer serving as an antenna is provided in the same layer as a conductive layer of the transistor or the storage element. This characteristic makes it possible to omit an independent step of forming the conductive layer serving as an antenna and to conduct the step of forming the conductive layer serving as an antenna at the same time as the step of forming a conductive layer of another element. Therefore, the manufacturing step can be simplified, the manufacturing cost can be suppressed, and the decrease in yield can be suppressed.

  • Publication number: 20140252405
    Abstract: In a wafer bonding process, one or both of two wafer substrates are scored prior to bonding. By creating slots in the substrate, the wafer's characteristics during bonding are similar to that of a thinner wafer, thereby reducing potential warpage due to differences in CTE characteristics associated with each of the wafers. Preferably, the slots are created consistent with the singulation/dicing pattern, so that the slots will not be present in the singulated packages, thereby retaining the structural characteristics of the full-thickness substrates.

  • Patent number: 8829527
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a highly reliable display device at a low cost with high yield. According to the present invention, a step due to an opening in a contact is covered with an insulating layer to reduce the step, and is processed into a gentle shape. A wiring or the like is formed to be in contact with the insulating layer and thus the coverage of the wiring or the like is enhanced. In addition, deterioration of a light-emitting element due to contaminants such as water can be prevented by sealing a layer including an organic material that has water permeability in a display device with a sealing material. Since the sealing material is formed in a portion of a driver circuit region in the display device, the frame margin of the display device can be narrowed.
