Abstract
Solid-state lighting devices including light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and more particularly polarization structures for LED devices are disclosed. Polarization structures are disclosed that are integrated within light-emitting devices and are capable of receiving unpolarized light and providing polarized light that exits the light-emitting devices. Polarization structures may be formed on or in various surfaces within light-emitting devices, such as one or more surfaces of cover structures and/or LED chips. LED packages with multiple LED chips and multiple polarization structures are also disclosed. The LED chips may be arranged to be electrically activated and deactivated independently of one another such that corresponding LED packages are capable of electronically switching between different orientations of polarized and/or unpolarized light.
