OPTIC ASSEMBLY UTILIZING QUANTUM DOTS

摘要

An optic assembly 200 is provided. The assembly 200 includes a housing 220 having an upstream end 222 and a downstream end 224. An LED 204 is positioned in the upstream end 222 of the housing 220. The LED 204 is configured to generate excitation light 226 therefrom. The excitation light 226 has a first wavelength. An optic 210 is positioned in the downstream end 224 of the housing 220. The optic 210 is positioned remotely from the LED 204 so that a cavity 228 is formed between the LED 204 and the optic 210. The excitation light 226 generated from the LED 204 passes downstream through the cavity 228 to the optic 210. Quantum dots 212 are positioned on the optic. The excitation light 226 excites the quantum dots 212 so that the quantum dots 212 produce emitted light 230 having a second wavelength that is different than the first wavelength of the excitation light 226.
