20080198881 | OPTIMIZATION OF LASER BAR ORIENTATION FOR NONPOLAR AND SEMIPOLAR (Ga,Al,In,B)N DIODE LASERS - Optical gain of a nonpolar or semipolar Group-III nitride diode laser is controlled by orienting an axis of light propagation in relation to an optical polarization direction or crystallographic orientation of the diode laser. The axis of light propagation is substantially perpendicular to the mirror facets of the diode laser, and the optical polarization direction is determined by the crystallographic orientation of the diode laser. To maximize optical gain, the axis of light propagation is oriented substantially perpendicular to the optical polarization direction or crystallographic orientation. | 08-21-2008 |
20090065798 | PACKAGING TECHNIQUE FOR THE FABRICATION OF POLARIZED LIGHT EMITTING DIODES - A polarized light emitting diode (LED) includes a marker indicating a polarization direction. A package for the LED also includes a marker indicating the polarization direction. The markers on the LED and package are used for mutual alignment, wherein the LED is attached in a favorable orientation with respect to a package, so that the polarization direction of emitted light from the package is apparent. The marker is placed on the LED before die separation and the marker is placed on the package before alignment. The marker on the LED comprises a photolithographic pattern, an asymmetric die shape, a notch on the die, or a scratch on the die, while the marker on the package comprises an electrode shape or pattern, an asymmetric package shape, a notch on the package, or a scratch on the package. Finally, the LED or package may be installed in an external circuit or system that also indicates the polarization direction. | 03-12-2009 |
20090121250 | HIGH LIGHT EXTRACTION EFFICIENCY LIGHT EMITTING DIODE (LED) USING GLASS PACKAGING - An (Al, Ga, In)N and ZnO direct wafer bonded light emitting diode (LED) combined with a shaped optical element in which the directional light from the ZnO cone or any high refractive index material in contact with the LED surface entering the shaped optical element is extracted to air. | 05-14-2009 |
20090194761 | ENHANCEMENT OF OPTICAL POLARIZATION OF NITRIDE LIGHT-EMITTING DIODES BY INCREASED INDIUM INCORPORATION - An increase in the Indium (In) content in light-emitting layers of light-emitting diode (LED) structures prepared on nonpolar III-nitride substrates result in higher polarization ratios for light emission than LED structures containing lesser In content. Polarization ratios should be higher than 0.7 at wavelengths longer than 470 nm. | 08-06-2009 |
20100032695 | TUNABLE WHITE LIGHT BASED ON POLARIZATION SENSITIVE LIGHT-EMITTING DIODES - A lighting apparatus for emitting polarized white light, which includes at least a first light source for emitting primary light comprised of one or more first wavelengths and having a first polarization direction; and at least a second light source for emitting secondary light in the first polarization direction, comprised of one or more secondary wavelengths, wherein the first light and the secondary light are combined to produce a polarized white light. The lighting apparatus may further comprise a polarizer for controlling the primary light's intensity, wherein a rotation of the polarizer varies an alignment of its polarization axis with respect to the first polarization direction, which varies transmission of the primary light through the polarizer, which controls a color co-ordinate or hue of the white light. | 02-11-2010 |
20100052008 | ENHANCEMENT OF OPTICAL POLARIZATION OF NITRIDE LIGHT-EMITTING DIODES BY WAFER OFF-AXIS CUT - An off-axis cut of a nonpolar III-nitride wafer towards a polar (−c) orientation results in higher polarization ratios for light emission than wafers without such off-axis cuts. A 5° angle for an off-axis cut has been confirmed to provide the highest polarization ratio (0.9) than any other examined angles for off-axis cuts between 0 and 27°. | 03-04-2010 |

20090077464 | INPUT METHODS FOR DEVICE HAVING MULTI-LANGUAGE ENVIRONMENT - Text input is corrected on a touch-sensitive display by presenting a list of candidate words in the interface which can be selected by touch input. The candidate list can include candidate words having two or more character types (e.g., Roman, kana, kanji). In one aspect, the candidate list can be scrolled using a finger gesture. When a user's finger traverses a candidate word and the touch is released, the candidate word is inserted into a document being edited. In another aspect, characters can be erased by touching a key (e.g., a backspace or delete key) and making a sliding, swiping, or other finger gesture. A number of characters proportional to a distance (e.g., a linear distance) of the finger gesture across the display are erased. If there are characters in a text input area, those characters are erased first, followed by characters in the document being edited. | 03-19-2009 |
20090265669 | LANGUAGE INPUT INTERFACE ON A DEVICE - Methods, systems, devices, and apparatus, including computer program products, for inputting text. A user interface element is presented on a touch-sensitive display of a device. The user interface element is associated with a plurality of characters, at least a subset of which is associated with respective gestures. A user input performing a gesture with respect to the user interface element is received. The character from the subset that is associated with the gesture performed with respect to the user interface element is inputted. | 10-22-2009 |
