First Claim
Patent Images
1. A light-emitting device comprising:
- a body configured to support a light source, the body comprising;
a top surface, anda cavity extending downward from the top surface, the cavity having a floor configured to receive a light source;
a light source bonded to the floor; and
a plurality of layers disposed between the light source and the top surface, the plurality of layers including;
a first layer adjacent to the light source, the first layer having a first refractive index, the first layer including a thermal insulating material, anda second layer between the first layer including the thermal insulating layer and the top surface, the second layer having a second refractive index and including;
a matrix material; and
a dispersion of beads within the matrix material, the beads configured to scatter light provided by the light source, andwherein the second refractive index is different than the first refractive index.

Abstract
A light-emitting device has a light source disposed on a support. A matrix material including a dispersion of beads is disposed over the light source. The refractive index of the beads is different from the refractive index of the matrix material. The light source may include an LED. The matrix material may include a lens.
