摘要:
An LED device including an LED chip and a lens positioned apart from the chip and coated with a uniform thickness layer of fluorescent phosphor for converting at least some of the radiation emitted by the chip into visible light. Positioning the phosphor layer away from the LED improves the efficiency of the device and produces more consistent color rendition. The surface area of the lens is preferably at least ten times the surface area of the LED chip. For increased efficiency, the reflector and submount can also be coated with phosphor to further reduce internal absorption.

A light emitting apparatus (8) includes one or more light emitting chips (10) that are disposed on a printed circuit board (12) and emit light predominantly in a wavelength range between about 400 nanometers and about 470 nanometers. The printed circuit board includes: (i) an electrically insulating board (14); (ii) electrically conductive printed circuitry (20); and (iii) an electrically insulating solder mask (22) having vias (24) through which the one or more light emitting chips electrically contact the printed circuitry. The solder mask (22) has a reflectance of greater than 60% at least between about 400 nanometers and about 470 nanometers.

A field deployable optical assembly for use in testing a light-responsive sample is disclosed. The assembly includes a microfluidic device, a first optical package, and a second optical package. The first optical package includes a light emitting diode (LED), a first optical device, and a first light-path control, the first optical package configured to guide and focus light from the LED onto the sample. The microfluidic device includes a tethered control substance. In response to a substance within the sample being associated with, and attaching to, the tethered control, the sample emits light. The second optical package includes a photo sensor, a second optical device, and a second light-path control, the second optical package configured to guide and focus the light emitted from the sample onto the photo sensor.

A lighting apparatus (10) comprises a light engine (12) producing ultra violet radiation. An enclosure (14) surrounds a radiation generating area of the light engine (12) to encompass the radiation. At least one wall (28) of the enclosure (14) is substantially reflective of the ultraviolet radiation. The enclosure (14) includes a replaceable top portion (30) which includes a phosphor portion (32). The phosphor portion (32) is spaced from the radiation generating area of the light engine (12) by a height of the enclosure (14).

A flexible interconnect structure allows for rapid dissipation of heat generated from an electrical device that includes light-emitting elements, such as light-emitting diodes (“LEDs”) and/or laser diodes. The flexible interconnect structure comprises: (1) at least one flexible dielectric film on which circuit traces and, optionally, electrical circuit components are formed and at least a portion of which is removed through its thickness; and (2) at least a heat sink attached to one surface of the flexible dielectric film opposite to the surface on which circuit traces are formed. The flexible interconnect structure can include a plurality of such flexible dielectric films, each supporting circuit traces and/or circuit components, and each being attached to another by an electrically insulating layer. Electrical devices or light sources having complex shapes are formed from such flexible interconnect structures and light-emitting elements attached to the heat sinks so to be in thermal contact therewith.
