Abstract

See full text

A solid state light source includes an LED die that generates light of two polarization states. A medium is provided at or near an emitting surface of the LED die that preferentially reflects one polarization state back into the LED die and preferentially transmits the other polarization state out of the LED die, thus providing a solid state light source whose light output is at least partially polarized. Recycling of light within the LED die together with polarization conversion mechanisms can enhance efficiency and brightness of the polarized output.
