  • Patent number: 11393955
    Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) including an epitaxial stacked layer, first and second reflective layers which are disposed at two sides of the epitaxial stacked layer, a current conducting layer and first and second electrodes and a manufacturing thereof are provided. The epitaxial stacked layer includes a first-type and a second-type semiconductor layers and an active layer. A main light emitting surface with a light transmittance >0% and ?10% is formed on one of the two reflective layers. The current conducting layer contacts the second-type semiconductor layer. The first electrode is electrically connected to the first-type semiconductor layer. The second electrode is electrically connected to the second-type semiconductor layer via the current conducting layer. A contact scope of the current conducting layer and the second-type semiconductor layer is served as a light-emitting scope overlapping the two layers, but not overlapping the two electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20220209973
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a power supply method having power management mechanism that includes the steps outlined below. Power request information of power requesting devices is retrieved to generate a to-be-powered device list and a requested power. Whether a current requesting device satisfy a power stable criteria and a power sufficient criteria is determined, The power stable criteria is satisfied when the power requesting devices each having a priority higher than that of the current requesting device all operate in a powered mode or when the power requesting devices that operate in the powered mode enter a stable operation status. The power sufficient criteria is satisfied when a stable system remained power of a power supply system is not smaller than an individual requested power of the current requesting device. When the criteria are satisfied, the current requesting device is operated in the powered mode to update the requested power.
