Light emitting device with multilayer silicon-containing encapsulant
First Claim
1. A light emitting device comprising:
- a light emitting diode; and
a multilayer encapsulant in contact with the light emitting diode, wherein the multilayer encapsulant comprises;
a first encapsulant in contact with the light emitting diode and encapsulating the light emitting diode, the first encapsulant comprising a silicone gel, silicone gum, silicone fluid, organosiloxane, polysiloxane, polyimide, polyphosphazene, or sol-gel composition; and
a photopolymerizable composition in contact with the first encapsulant and comprising a silicon-containing resin and a metal-containing catalyst, the silicon-containing resin comprising silicon-bonded hydrogen and aliphatic unsaturation;
wherein the first encapsulant has a refractive index greater than that of the photopolymerizable composition.

Abstract
A light emitting device that includes a light emitting diode and a multilayer encapsulant is disclosed. The multilayer encapsulant includes a first encapsulant in contact with the light emitting diode and a photopolymerizable composition in contact with the first encapsulant. The first encapsulant may be a silicone gel, silicone gum, silicone fluid, organosiloxane, polysiloxane, polyimide, polyphosphazene, sol-gel composition, or another photopolymerizable composition. The photopolymerizable compositions include a silicon-containing resin and a metal-containing catalyst, the silicon-containing resin comprising silicon-bonded hydrogen and aliphatic unsaturation. Actinic radiation having a wavelength of 700 nm or less can be applied to initiate hydrosilylation within the silicon-containing resins.
