Abstract: A method for sorting a light source is to be implemented by a computer and includes configuring the computer to determine whether or not a to-be-sorted light source is different from a reference light source by comparing features of a curve associated with measured spectral data of the to-be-sorted light source, with features of a reference curve associated with reference spectral data of a reference light source.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an LED package structure and a chip-scale light emitting unit. The chip-scale light emitting unit includes an LED chip, a phosphor sheet, and at least one light guiding group. The phosphor sheet covers entirely a top surface of the LED chip. The phosphor sheet has a light emitting surface arranged away from the LED chip, and the light emitting surface has a central region and a ring-shaped region surrounding the central region. The light guiding group is disposed on the ring-shaped region and covers at least 60% of an area of the ring-shaped region of the phosphor sheet, and the central region is not covered by the light guiding group. The light guiding group includes a plurality of light guiding micro-structures.

Abstract: A method for operating an AC LED is disclosed. The method operates with an assumption that a linear relationship exists between the voltage and current of the AC LED operating at an active region. Hence, a first driving voltage and a second driving voltage are applied to the AC LED for respectively measuring a first driving current and a second driving current, and an interpolation is used for obtaining a third driving voltage. The third driving voltage is the predicted driving voltage for the AC LED. The method is capable of determining the actual driving voltage precisely and rapidly before the follow-up tests for other AC LEDs may proceed.

Abstract: An alternating current (AC) light-emitting device includes a waveform generating unit and an AC light-emitting unit. The waveform generating unit is configured to receive an AC electrical signal and to generate a drive signal by adjusting one of: voltage amplitude of the AC electrical signal during one of positive and negative half-cycles of the AC electrical signal, and waveform level of the AC electrical signal. The AC light-emitting unit includes a first light-emitting component and a second light-emitting component, and the second light-emitting component emits a different wavelength light compared to that emitted by the first light-emitting component. The first and second light-emitting components are electrically coupled to the waveform generating unit to receive the drive signal, and emit light according to the drive signal.
