A converter layer bonding device, and methods of making and using the converter layer bonding device are disclosed. A converter layer bonding device as disclosed herein includes a release liner and an adhesive layer coating the release liner, the adhesive layer is solid and non-adhesive at room temperature, and is adhesive at an elevated temperature above room temperature.

Adhesive film transfer coating and use in the manufacture of light emitting devices

An inventive apparatus includes a substrate and a set of multiple electrically conductive traces. The substrate is transparent or reflective for visible light. The electrically conductive traces are sufficiently transparent, or are less than 200 μm wide and occupy less than 25% of an areal extent of the set, so as to enable visual observation of a scene through or reflected by the substrate along a sight line that passes through the set of electrically conductive traces.

Low-density electrical traces on a transparent or reflective substrate

A light emitting device includes an LED having a light emitting top surface and sidewalls. A phosphor structure is attached to the light emitting surface of the LED. The phosphor structure has a light emitting top surface facing away from the LED light emitting surface, and sidewalls. A light reflective material is arranged to cover the sidewalls of the LED and the phosphor structure. A light absorptive region is defined in the light reflective material around a perimeter of the light emitting surface of the phosphor structure. The light absorptive region may be spaced apart from the perimeter of the phosphor structure by a gap. The light absorptive region may be formed by ultraviolet laser illumination of the light reflecting material.

Light emitting device with high near-field contrast ratio

Phosphor-converted LED side reflectors disclosed herein comprise pigments that are photochemically stable under illumination by light from the pcLED. The pigments absorb light in at least a portion of the spectrum of light emitted by the first phosphor converted LED. The side reflector may also comprise light scattering particles or air voids. The pigments, light scattering particles, or air voids may be homogeneously distributed in the reflector. Alternatively the side reflector may be layered, with the pigments, light scattering particles, or air voids inhomogeneously distributed in the reflector. The side reflector can include phosphor particles.

A wavelength converting layer may have a glass or a silicon porous support structure. The wavelength converting layer may also have a cured portion of wavelength converting particles and a binder laminated onto the porous glass or silicon support structure.

Converter with glass layers

A wavelength converting layer may have a glass or a silicon porous support structure. The wavelength converting layer may also have a cured portion of wavelength converting particles and a binder filling the porous glass or silicon support structure.

Light emitting devices (LEDs) and methods of manufacturing LEDs are described. A method includes providing a layer of a wavelength converting material on a temporary tape. The wavelength converting material includes at least a binder or matrix material, particles of a non-luminescent material, and phosphor particles and has a concentration of 60%-90% by volume particles of the non-luminescent material and phosphor particles. The layer of the wavelength converting material is separated on the temporary tape to form multiple wavelength converting structures, which are provided on an array type frame. Heat and pressure are applied to the wavelength converting structures on the array type frame.

Phosphor converter structures for thin film packages and method of manufacture

A lighting structure according to embodiments of the invention includes a semiconductor light emitting device and a flat wavelength converting element attached to the semiconductor light emitting device. The flat wavelength converting element includes a wavelength converting layer for absorbing light emitted by the semiconductor light emitting device and emitting light of a different wavelength. The flat wavelength converting element further includes a transparent layer. The wavelength converting layer is formed on the transparent layer.

Wavelength converted light emitting device with small source size

A light emitting diode module comprising: at least one light emitting diode structure, an integrated reflector arrangement that comprises a reflector surface for reflecting light from a light emitting area of the light emitting diode structure. The integrated reflector arrangement further comprises a back reflection surface for diffusely reflecting light emitted via a side surface of the light emitting diode structure back to the light emitting diode structure. The back reflection surface is directly attached to at least a part of the side surface such that during operation of the light emitting diode module an emission of stray light by means of the side surface is reduced. The invention finally describes a flash module, an automotive front lighting or a projection light emitting diode system comprising at least one light emitting diode module.

LED module with high near field contrast ratio

A multi-stage lamination process is used to laminate a wavelength conversion film to a transparent substrate, and subsequently to a light emitting element. The wavelength conversion film may be an uncured phosphor-embedded silicone polymer, and the lamination process includes heating the polymer so that it adheres to the transparent substrate, but is not fully cured. The phosphor-laminated transparent substrate is sliced/diced and the wavelength conversion film of each diced substrate is placed upon each light emitting element. The semi-cured wavelength conversion film is then laminated to the light emitting element via heating, consequently curing the phosphor film. Throughout the process, no glue is used, and the optical losses associated with glue material are not introduced.
