Patent attributes
A system, method and device for use as a reflector for a light emitting diode (LED) are disclosed. The system, method and device include a first layer designed to reflect transverse-electric (TE) radiation emitted by the LED, a second layer designed to block transverse-magnetic (TM) radiation emitted from the LED, and a plurality of ITO layers designed to operate as a transparent conducting oxide layer. The first layer may be a one-dimension (1D) distributed Bragg reflective (DBR) layer. The second layer may be a two-dimension (2D) photonic crystal (PhC), a three-dimension (3D) PhC, and/or a hyperbolic metamaterial (HMM). The 2D PhC may include horizontal cylinder bars, vertical cylinder bars, or both. The system, method and device may include a bottom metal reflector that may be Ag free and may act as a bonding layer.
