Abstract
An optical converter system for (W)LEDs, and a method for producing the optical converter system are provided. The optical converter system includes an inorganic converter for converting the radiation emitted from the LED, an inorganic optical component, such as glass, disposed downstream relative to the converter in the direction of emission of the LED. The converter and the first optical component are adjacent to one another and joined at least in sections.
Claims19
An array comprising a plurality of converter modules for converting radiation associated with respective opto-electronic functional elements, each converter module comprising:
- at least one inorganic converter for the conversion of at least one of radiation emitted from and radiation received by a respective opto-electronic functional element;
- and
- at least one optical component comprising an inorganic material, which is placed downstream relative to the converter in an emission direction of the respective opto-electronic functional element, wherein the converter and the optical component are joined together in a cohesive manner.
An opto-electronic component, comprising:
- a housing;
- at least one converter module of an array comprising at least one inorganic converter for the conversion of at least one of radiation and at least one optical component having an inorganic material, which is placed downstream relative to the converter in an emission direction, wherein the converter and the optical component are joined together in a cohesive manner;
- and
- at least one opto-electronic functional element configured for at least one of emitting radiation and receiving radiation disposed in the housing.
A method for producing a plurality of converter modules for converting radiation associated with respective opto-electronic functional elements, comprising:
- providing a plurality of converters for converting at least one of radiation emitted from and radiation received by the respective opto-electronic functional elements;
- providing a plurality of optical components, wherein the plurality of converters and the plurality of optical components are arranged in an array;
- and
- joining the plurality of converters with respective optical components by heating at least one of the converters and the optical components so that the plurality of converters and the respective optical components will adhere to one another and form a cohesive composite to form an array with a plurality of converter modules.
