  • Patent number: 6583401
    Abstract: A further miniaturization of known optoelectronic components with internal screening is not possible. In addition, inhomogeneities occur in the embedding material. Separate screening plates cause additional costs to arise during component assembly. The task is to design an optoelectronic component with a conductor strip element such that screening can be effected without any additional external screening measures. Optoelectronic component with a conductor strip element, with electronic and optoelectronic semiconductor components being arranged on a first conductor strip element area connected to ground and encapsulated by a housing made of thermo- or duroplastic synthetic material. A second conductor strip element area protrudes from the housing and is folded around the housing such that it screens the semiconductor components against electromagnetic interference radiation.

  • Patent number: 5506760
    Abstract: A light fitting unit having a low current input for illuminated signs. The light fitting unit comprises a housing (1) for mounting a plurality of LEDs (4). The housing has four lateral surfaces (1.1-1.4) and two opposite main surfaces (1.5, 1.6). Furthermore, a mounting cap (2) is provided on a first lateral surface (1.1) of the housing. The further lateral surfaces (1.2, 1.3, 1.4) of the housing are enclosed by a groove (3), in the bottom (3.1) of which a plurality of apertures (5) are provided in which a plurality of LEDs (4) are disposed. The light fitting unit can be used as a light source in any illuminated signs instead of conventional bulbs. It is characterized by a low current input and long service life. Fitting in already existing illuminated signs simply by insertion into existing holders is achieved by screw caps or bayonet caps.
