High Power White LEDs and Manufacturing Method Thereof

RPI ID: 2006-063-201, 2006-063-601, 2006-063-602, 2006-063-604, 2006-063-605

Innovation Summary:
This portfolio introduces a suite of advanced LED-based lighting technologies designed to optimize luminous efficacy, thermal performance, and color stability in solid-state lighting systems. The innovations include a modular LED light engine with a reflective mixing chamber and light guide (RPI 2006-063-201), as well as multiple high-power white LED architectures (RPI 2006-063-601, 602, 604, 605) that integrate short-wavelength LEDs with phosphor conversion in thermally optimized packages. These designs enable high-brightness, energy-efficient lighting with superior reliability and color consistency, suitable for a wide range of demanding applications.

Challenges / Opportunities:
Conventional LED systems often struggle with non-uniform light distribution, thermal buildup, and color instability at high power levels. These inventions address those limitations through innovations in optical mixing, thermal isolation, and phosphor integration. The combined technologies open new opportunities in commercial, industrial, automotive, and architectural lighting markets where performance, efficiency, and longevity are critical.

Key Benefits / Advantages:
✔ Enhanced optical efficiency and uniform light output
✔ High luminous efficacy with stable white light rendering
✔ Integrated and advanced thermal management for extended lifespan
