Solid state lighting devices containing quantum dots dispersed in polymeric or silicone acrylates and deposited over a light source. Solid state lighting devices with different populations of quantum dots either dispersed in matrix materials or not are also provided. Also provided are solid state lighting devices with non-absorbing light scattering dielectric particles dispersed in a matrix material containing quantum dots and deposited over a light source. Methods of manufacturing solid state lighting devices containing quantum dots are also provided.

Solid state lighting devices comprising quantum dots

Powdered quantum dots that can be dispersed into a silicone layer are provided. The powdered quantum dots are a plurality of quantum dot particles, preferably on the micron or nanometer scale. The powdered quantum dots can include quantum dot-dielectric particle complexes or quantum dot-crosslinked silane complexes. The powdered quantum dots can included quantum dot particles coated with a dielectric layer.

Quantum dot particles on the micron or nanometer scale and method of making the same

A semiconductor nanocrystal composite comprising a semiconductor nanocrystal composition dispersed in an inorganic matrix material and a method of making same are provided. The method includes providing a semiconductor nanocrystal composition having a semiconductor nanocrystal core, providing a surfactant formed on the outer surface of the composition, and replacing the surfactant with an inorganic matrix material. The semiconductor nanocrystal composite emits light having wavelengths between about 1 and about 10 microns.

Method of making semiconductor nanocrystal composites

A lighting system includes at least one light emitting diode and a coating of matrix material having at least one glass-coated quantum dot in a base material. The at least one glass-coated quantum dot may be selected from at least one of a group II-VI materials, III-V materials, IV-VI materials, I-III-VI materials and combinations of such materials. The matrix material may be silicone, and the lighting system may include a light bulb replacement fixture including a threaded screw electrically connected to the light emitting diode.

Lighting system including LED with glass-coated quantum-dots

Light-emitting devices are provided that incorporate one or more underlying LED chips or other light sources and a layer having one or more populations of nanoparticles disposed over the light source. The nanoparticles may absorb some light emitted by the underlying source, and re-emit light at a different level. By varying the type and relative concentration of nanoparticles, different emission spectra may be achieved. White light and specialty-color emission may be achieved. Devices also may include multiple LED chips, with nanoparticles disposed over one or more underlying chips in an array.

The high-refractive index material has at least one semiconductor nanocrystal composition incorporated in a matrix material and has a refractive index greater than 1.5. The semiconductor nanocrystal composition has a semiconductor nanocrystal core of a II-VI, III-V, or IV-VI semiconductor material. A method of making a high-refractive index material includes incorporating, at least one semiconductor nanocrystal composition in a matrix material. An application of a high-refractive index material includes incorporating at least one semiconductor nanocrystal composition in a matrix material to form the high-refractive index material and depositing the high-refractive index material on the surface of a lighting device.
