Abstract

A light emitting device for optically reproducing a coded information includes a plurality of optical components. Each of the components is configured to emit light. The combination of the light emitted from the optical components provides coded information.

Claims (20)

1. A Light emitting device for optically reproducing a coded information, with

a plurality of optical components, each of the components being configured to emit light, and the combination of light being emitted by the optical components provides a coded information,

wherein the optical components are configured such that the optical components emit light when excited or pumped with light from an external light source,

wherein the optical components each comprise an optoelectronic component, and

wherein the light emitting device comprises at least one photodiode configured to convert light into an electric current that serves to supply power to the optoelectronic components.

2. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the optical components each comprise at least one optical converter layer or at least one quantum dot.

3. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the light emitting device comprises a control unit which is configured to control the optoelectronic components.

4. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the light emitting device comprises a carrier on which the optoelectronic components and the at least one photodiode are arranged.

5. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the optoelectronic components are configured in such that they are excited by light.

6. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the light emitting device comprises at least two electrical contact elements for applying a supply voltage.

7. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the coded information results from the colors of the light emitted by the optical components and/or the optical output power of the optical components and/or the decay time of the optical components and/or the rise time of the optical components and/or the order in which the optical components emit light and/or the arrangement of the optical components and/or the distances between the optical components.

8. A system for optically reproducing a coded information, with

a light emitting device for optically reproducing coded information according to claim 1 , and

a power supply device for supplying power to the light emitting device.

9. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the power supply device is configured to emit light having a predetermined wavelength or wavelengths in a predetermined range.

10. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the system comprises a reading device for recording the light emitted by the light emitting device.

11. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the system comprises a decoding device for decoding the coded information.

12. A method for operating a light emitting device for optically reproducing a coded information according to claim 1 , wherein

the optical components emit light and the light emitted by the optical components is recorded by means of a reading device.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the coded information is decoded based on the light emitted from the optical components and recorded by the reading device.
