Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed in which one or more light sources, a detector, a processor and a controller are configured such that light from the one or more light sources can provide illumination or projections that can reduce accidents while the vehicle is in motion and when parked and may also provide information and illumination to the driver and vehicle occupants when entering or exiting the vehicle. These systems may, for example, provide spot illumination to moving objects or pedestrians on the road surface, with the spot illumination following the moving object. Alternatively or in addition these systems may project images on the ground, for example to communicate information to occupants of the vehicle, to occupants of another vehicle, or to pedestrians.

Vehicle side and rear exterior illumination and projection

An inorganic coating may be applied to bond optically scattering particles or components. Optically scattering particles bonded via the inorganic coating may form a three dimensional film which can receive a light emission, convert, and emit the light emission with one or more changed properties. The inorganic coating may be deposited using a low-pressure deposition technique such as an atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique. Two or more components, such as an LED and a ceramic phosphor layer may be bonded together by depositing an inorganic coating using the ALD technique.

Inorganic bonded devices and structures

Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed in which one or more light sources, a detector, a processor and a controller are configured such that light from the one or more light sources improves the ability of a human or automated motor vehicle driver to identify and avoid pedestrians. The one or more light sources may provide spot illumination to moving objects or pedestrians on a road surface, with the spot illumination following the moving object or pedestrians along the portion of the road surface. The one or more light sources may project images on the ground or on other surfaces. The light source may be carried by a pedestrian or on personal transport used by a pedestrian. The light sources may be stationary and provide lighting for a pedestrian street crossing.

Road lighting

One or more light sources, one or more detectors, a processor, and a controller are configured to provide spot illumination that follows a moving object, a moving occupant, or a portion of a moving occupant in the vehicle.

Vehicle interior lighting and illumination

Embodiments of the invention include a semiconductor light emitting device capable of emitting first light having a first peak wavelength and a semiconductor wavelength converting element capable of absorbing the first light and emitting second light having a second peak wavelength. The semiconductor wavelength converting element is attached to a support and disposed in a path of light emitted by the semiconductor light emitting device. The semiconductor wavelength converting element is patterned to include at least two first regions of semiconductor wavelength converting material and at least one second region without semiconductor wavelength converting material disposed between the at least two first regions.

Light emitting device having an optically pumped semiconductor wavelength converting element

A lens comprises an elongated shape. The lens has a short axis and a long axis. The lens comprises an upper surface through which a substantial majority of light exits the lens when a light emitting element is situated at or below a base of the lens. The upper surface includes a trough that extends along at least one of the short and the long axis. The upper surface includes a surface of a curved wall that joins the upper surface to the base of the lens. A lower surface of the trough is curved along the short axis and along the long axis. The lower surface of the trough has a curvature along the short axis that differs from a curvature along the long axis.

Lens with elongated radiation pattern

A system and methods for light-emitting diode (LED) devices with a dimming feature that can tailor a color point shift in the light color temperature of a scattering/transparent layer to enlarge a dim to warm range are disclosed herein. A light-emitting device may include a wavelength converting structure configured to receive light from a light emitting semiconductor structure and an adjacent light scattering structure. The light scattering structure may comprise a plurality of scattering particles with a lower refractive index (RI) than the RI of the matrix material in which the scattering particles are disposed. The wavelength converting structure may include a red phosphor and a green phosphor such that to adjust overlap between green emission and absorption by the red phosphor to correspondingly adjust scattering and magnitude of color shift. In an embodiment, the light scattering structure may be integrated in the wavelength converting structure.
