Multi-Grain Luminescent Ceramics for Light Emitting Devices

Abstract

A ceramic body is disposed in a path of light emitted by a light source. The light source may include a semiconductor structure comprising a light emitting region disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region. The ceramic body includes a plurality of first grains configured to absorb light emitted by the light source and emit light of a different wavelength, and a plurality of second grains. For example, the first grains may be grains of luminescent material and the second grains may be grains of a luminescent material host matrix without activating dopant.
