Abstract
Light emitting devices and components having excellent chemical resistance and related methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, a component of a light emitting device can include a silver (Ag) portion, which can be silver on a substrate, and a protective layer disposed over the Ag portion. The protective layer can at least partially include an inorganic material for increasing the chemical resistance of the Ag portion.
Claims37
A component of a light emitting device, the component comprising:
- a silver (Ag) portion at least partially disposed over a surface of the component;
- and
- a protective layer at least partially disposed over the Ag portion, the protective layer at least partially comprising an inorganic material for increasing chemical resistance of the Ag portion, wherein the inorganic material contains some organic component.
A method of providing a component of a light emitting device, the method comprising:
- providing a component of a light emitting device, the component having a silver (Ag) portion thereon;
- and
- applying a protective layer over the Ag portion, the protective layer at least partially comprising an inorganic material that increases chemical resistance of the Ag portion, and wherein the inorganic material contains some organic component.
