Integrated warning structures for energized ultraviolet light-emitting diode packages
Abstract:
Solid-state lighting devices including light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and more particularly integrated warning structures for ultraviolet LED packages are disclosed. Integrated warning structures may include passive structures, such as lumiphoric material regions, that are arranged within LED packages to receive a portion of ultraviolet light from an LED chip within the LED package and provide a small amount of wavelength-converted light. Such wavelength-converted light may serve as indication that ultraviolet light is being emitted. Exemplary lumiphoric material regions may form one or more discrete regions within LED packages and may provide such wavelength-converted light without substantial impact on color purity of the LED packages. Accordingly, LED packages may provide integrated warning emissions that may serve to indicate the presence of ultraviolet emissions and/or reduce human exposure to such ultraviolet emissions.
