Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Light emitting systems and method of fabricating the same are disclosed. The light emitting system includes two or more monolithically integrated luminescent elements. Each luminescent element includes an electroluminescent device and a dedicated switching circuit for driving the electroluminescent device. At least one luminescent element includes a potential well for down converting light emitted by the electroluminescent device in the luminescent element.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A light emitting system, comprising: at least one first luminescent element capable of outputting light at a first wavelength; at least one second luminescent element capable of outputting light at a second wavelength different than the first wavelength; and at least one third luminescent element capable of outputting light at a third wavelength different than the first and second wavelengths and comprising: an electroluminescent device capable of emitt…
