Solid state white light emitter and display using same
DCFirst Claim
1. A white light LED, comprising a gallium nitride based semiconductor LED die configured to emit blue light primary radiation, said LED die being packaged with phosphor or fluorescer in a polymer, wherein the phosphor or fluorescer is configured to interact with the blue light primary radiation to produce a secondary emission down-converted light, and wherein the blue light primary radiation and said down-converted light produce a white light output, said gallium nitride based semiconductor LED die comprising indium, and said phosphor or fluorescer being dispersed in said polymer.

Abstract
A light emitting assembly comprising a solid state device coupleable with a power supply constructed and arranged to power the solid state device to emit from the solid state device a first, relatively shorter wavelength radiation, and a down-converting luminophoric medium arranged in receiving relationship to said first, relatively shorter wavelength radiation, and which in exposure to said first, relatively shorter wavelength radiation, is excited to responsively emit second, relatively longer wavelength radiation. In a specific embodiment, monochromatic blue or UV light output from a light-emitting diode is down-converted to white light by packaging the diode with fluorescent organic and/or inorganic fluorescers and phosphors in a polymeric matrix.
