Multicolor light emitting diodes
First Claim
1. A multicolor light emitting package comprising:
- a white light emitting diode operative to emit a white light;
a multicolor light emitting diode operative to emit a colored light;
a first light guide optically coupled to the white light emitting diode and having a first ramp shape; and
a second light guide optically coupled to the multicolor light emitting diode and having a second ramp shape, the second light guide adjacent the first ramp-shaped light guide;
the first and second light guides configured to combine the white light and the colored light, thereby producing an output light.

Abstract
A device such as a multicolor light emitting diode that emits different colors of light and that may combine the different colors emitted by individual light emitting diodes. The multicolor LED may include a common anode terminal that may be connected to each anode of the individual light emitting diodes. The multicolor LED may be a five terminal multicolor LED. Additionally, the multicolor LED may include two anode terminals, in which the first anode terminal may be a common anode terminal connected to three of the individual color LEDs and the second anode terminal may be connected to an anode of a white LED. In this embodiment, the multicolor LED may be a six terminal multicolor LED.
