Abstract: A light source having a flexible light-generating module that includes a flexible circuit carrier, a plurality of light emitting dies, and a cover layer is disclosed. The flexible circuit carrier includes a sheet of flexible material having electrically conducting traces. The light emitting dies are electrically connected to the electrically conducting traces. The cover layer is constructed from a transparent, flexible material and covers the light emitting dies. The light-generating module can be attached to various surfaces to provide a light source that is non-planar as well as to surfaces that are piecewise planar. These more complex light sources can include garments that generate complex light patterns to call attention to the wearer and three-dimensional light sources. The light sources also provide improved heat-conduction and can be used to create non-rectangular back lights for displays.
