| 20120012877 | Quantum Dot White and Colored Light-Emitting Devices - A light-emitting device comprising a population of quantum dots (QDs) embedded in a host matrix and a primary light source which causes the QDs to emit secondary light and a method of making such a device. The size distribution of the QDs is chosen to allow light of a particular color to be emitted therefrom. The light emitted from the device may be of either a pure (monochromatic) color, or a mixed (polychromatic) color, and may consist solely of light emitted from the QDs themselves, or of a mixture of light emitted from the QDs and light emitted from the primary source. The QDs desirably are composed of an undoped semiconductor such as CdSe, and may optionally be overcoated to increase photoluminescence. | 01-19-2012 |
| 20110134626 | ILLUMINATION SYSTEM USING PHOSPHOR REMOTE FORM LIGHT SOURCE - The invention provides an illumination system and a method for illumination. The illumination system includes one or more light sources that produce a primary light, a light-mixing zone that homogenizes the primary light, a wavelength-converting layer that converts the primary light to a secondary light, and a light-transmitting zone that receives the secondary light and transmits the secondary light to, for example, a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). | 06-09-2011 |

| 20080224158 | Light Emitting Device With Undoped Substrate And Doped Bonding Layer - A light emitting device having a stack of layers bonded to an undoped substrate with a doped layer between the stack of layers and the undoped substrate. The stack of layers include a layer of first conductivity type over the doped layer, an overlying light emitting layer and a layer of second conductivity type. In one embodiment, the doped substrate is grown on a sacrificial substrate along with the remaining stack of layers prior to bonding to the undoped substrate. Electrical contacts are coupled to device on a side opposite the undoped substrate. In one embodiment, the layers of first conductivity, the light emitting layer, and the layer of second conductivity are removed to expose the doped layer and a first electrical contact is coupled to the layer of first conductivity through the doped substrate, while a second electrical contact is coupled to the layer of second conductivity. | 09-18-2008 |
