Patent ID: 8093802

Claim:
A white light source comprising: a light emitting component which emits light at a first wavelength; and a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-biopolymer-phosphor material positioned to receive the light emitted by the light emitting component and emit light, or fluoresce, at a second wavelength, where the human eye then integrates the two wavelengths to see white light, the DNA-biopolymer-phosphor material comprising a DNA-based biopolymer material and a phosphor material, wherein the DNA-based biopolymer material is a host for the phosphor material, wherein the DNA-based biopolymer-phosphor material acts to emit light, or fluoresce, at a second wavelength, that is longer than epoxy-based-phosphor materials, wherein the DNA-based biopolymer-phosphor material will enhance the light output and efficiency of the light output.
