Patent ID: 7402831

Claim:
An adapted LED comprising a UV LED and a re-emitting semiconductor construction, wherein said re-emitting semiconductor construction comprises at least one first potential well not located within a pn junction having a first transition energy corresponding to blue-wavelength light, at least one second potential well not located within a pn junction having a sccond transition energy corresponding to green-wavelength light, and at least one third potential well not located within a pn junction having a third transition energy corresponding to red-wavelength light, wherein said at least one first potential well includes a first quantum well, wherein said at least one second potential well includes a second quantum well, and wherein said at Icast one third potential well includes a third quantum well, the re-emitting semiconductor construction additionally comprising an absorbing layer closely adjacent to and having a band gap energy greater than a transition energy of a potential well within the re-emitting semiconductor construction.
