`this before. It's relatively simple. It includes the three
`primary colors: red, green and blue. And the purpose of the
`color wheel is just to show that you can achieve different
`variations of color by mixing different colors. As one
`example, red and blue could be combined to create violet.
`Blue -- I'm sorry, green and orange can be combined to create
`yellow. And the combination of different colors can be
`combined to create white light, and that's one of the
`foundational pieces of this patent.
`If you turn to the next page on our slide, slide 5, this
`color wheel is not something that's new. It's been around for
`over 300 years. The color wheel that I have shown on slide 5
`was first developed or created by Sir Isaac Newton, 1704. So
`this idea of mixing colors has been around for hundreds of
`years.
`And again, if you will turn to slide 6. I mentioned
`different color-mixing principles. The one we are talking
`about here is this idea of mixing blue with yellow. Yellow, of
`course, is based on a combination of red and green, but that
`combination of blue and yellow creates white. It's really that
`simple. Slide 7 shows that.
`If you turn to slide 8, just want to talk very briefly
`about the development of the LED technology. That work began
`in around the 1960s. In 1962 was the development of the first
`red LED. A little bit later in the '70s, 1971, was the

`
`development of the green LED. The creation of the blue LED was
`much more difficult. Researchers and scientists spent decades
`trying to come up with a viable blue LED. It wasn't until 1994
`that a commercially viable blue LED became available. The
`three researchers who were responsible for that actually were
`awarded the Nobel Prize in 2014 for that accomplishment, and
`that blue LED is the basis for the patents that are at issue in
`this case.
`Now, Your Honor, if you turn to the next slide, page 9,
`this is the basic structure of an LED package. I think you
`asked a couple of questions which I can try to address. Within
`this structure is what you see labeled as blue or designated
`blue. That's the LED chip that generates the blue light. I
`think Nichia's counsel referred to the resin, the transparent
`material that covers that. And one of the purposes of that
`material is actually to protect the LED chip itself. There's
`electrodes that are connected to the LED chip that drives
`current through the chip that generates the light.
`I think, if you turn to the next page, though, you had
`asked about the location of the phosphor. And what we tried to
`show in this particular slide is an example of how phosphor
`might be distributed within that area outside the LED chip.
`More importantly, the generation of light, what this is meant
`to show is how the phosphor interacts with blue LED. Blue LED
`generates blue light, and a phosphor, I think as Nichia's
