Patent ID: 8604498

Claim:
A photonic device operable to emit a full spectrum of lights including white light, said device comprising: a substrate; a first light emitting device (LED) on a first portion of the substrate, said first LED comprising a first light-emitting structure to emit a first light; a second LED on a second portion of the substrate, said second LED comprising a second light-emitting structure to emit a second light and a first phosphor layer to convert said second light to a third light, said second light being different from the third light; a third LED on a third portion of the substrate, said third LED comprising a third light-emitting structure to emit a fourth light and a second phosphor layer to convert said fourth light to a fifth light, said fourth light being different from the fifth light; a plurality of conductors electrically connected to a plurality of electrodes for individually controlling the first LED, the second LED, and the third LED, wherein the plurality of conductors include a first top through-substrate via (TSV), a second top TSV, a third top TSV, a first bottom TSV, a second bottom TSV, and a third bottom TSV, and wherein the first, second, and third top TSVs are electrically coupled to a portion of the first, second, and third LEDs above their light-emitting structures, respectively, and wherein the first, second, and third bottom TSVs are electrically coupled to a portion of the first, second, and third LEDs below their light-emitting structures, respectively; and, wherein the first light-emitting structure, the second light-emitting structure, and the third light-emitting structure include same materials and thickness.
