Abstract
A light emitting assembly comprising a solid state device, when and if coupleable with a power supply constructed and arranged to power the solid state device to emit from the solid state device a first wavelength radiation, and an enveloping vessel enhancing the luminescence of the solid-state device and providing a mechanism for arranging luminophoric medium in receiving relationship to said first, radiation, and which in exposure to said first radiation, is excited to responsively emit second wavelength radiation or to otherwise transfer its energy without radiation to a third radiative component. In a specific embodiment, monochromatic blue or UV light output from a light-emitting diode is converted to achromatic light without hue by packaging the diode with fluorescent organic and/or inorganic fluorescers and phosphors on the walls of the solid-state light envelope which keeps the diode and the fluorescers and phosphors under a vacuum or a rare or Noble gas.
