Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to light emitting diodes (LEDs), and in particular to optical components or elements used to extract light generated within an LED die.
  • LEDs light emitting diodes
  • Both encapsulants and extractors can be used to reduce the amount of wasted light and improve brightness. They do this by providing a light-transmissive material at the surface of the LED die whose refractive index (n) is closer to that of the die than air, reducing the refractive index mismatch at the interface and increasing the span of the escape cone. The closer n is to the refractive index of the die, the less light is wasted inside the die, and the brighter the LED can shine.
  • amorphous material refers to material derived from a melt and/or a vapor phase that lacks any long range crystal structure as determined by X-ray diffraction and/or has an exothermic peak corresponding to the crystallization of the amorphous material as determined by a differential thermal analysis (DTA);
  • DTA differential thermal analysis
  • the mold 60 After the mold 60 has been prepared, it is filled with a plurality of glass particles 64.
  • filled means that at least some of the cavities 62, and preferably substantially all of the cavities 62, are either full or only partially full of the particles.
  • the particles 64 may be spherical or non-spherical, as discussed further below.
  • the particles 64 may also have a narrow, uniform size distribution, or may have a wider distribution of (nonuniform) sizes.
  • the particles 64 are shown to have an average size or volume that is substantially less than the volume of a given cavity 62. Note that if the cavities 64 have unequal volumes, the average particle size can be substantially less than the average cavity volume. Other cases are discussed below.
  • This heating and cooling profile caused the glass particles to soften and deform within their respective cavities and then solidify to form extractors.
  • the tops and bottoms of the extractors corresponding respectively to the 2.9 mm diameter opening and the 0.56 mm diameter bottom surface of the cavities, exhibited curvature that was believed to be due to surface tension of the molten glass coupled with the absence of any applied pressure.
  • the extractors were observed to be light-transmissive, but somewhat hazy or light-scattering possibly as the result of the reducing atmosphere. Desirably, the extractors would undergo the following additional processing steps.
