    Abstract: A lamp head module includes a high aspect ratio, high fill factor array of light emitting devices and a submount. The array includes multiple groups of electrically seriesed light emitting devices that are connected in electrical parallel. The submount is of monolithic construction and includes multiple L-shaped patterned circuit material layers. Each of the L-shaped patterned circuit material layers includes an arm portion and a stem portion. The arm portion functions as a light emitting device bond pad and the stem portion functions as a wire bond pad and a circuit trace. Each light emitting device of a group is affixed to a corresponding arm portion of the submount. The stem portions are located external to the array, run parallel to the length of the array and perform a primary current carrying function for current flow between adjacent light emitting devices of the group.

    Abstract: Gravity powered electrical energy generators, particularly for producing lighting is disclosed. The apparatus has a support frame (1, 30) in which a series of gears and a gear-driven generator (20) are mounted. The power to drive the most upstream gear (2) is provided by a weight suspended from a point to one side of the axis of rotation of gear (2). The drive gear of the furthest downstream gear has no teeth so that the final contact between the drive gear and the shaft of the generator (20) is frictional. The gear ratio of the final downstream gear is at least 25. When used for lighting, the apparatus may include one or more high brightness LEDs (40) mounted on the housing (30). By suitable choice of gear ratios, the device may produce thirty minutes of illumination while allowing a 10 kilogram weight to fall through a distance of 1.8 metres.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an LED light emitting device and a driving method thereof. The LED light emitting device supplies a power supply voltage to at least two LED channels. The LED light emitting device samples channel voltages of the at least two LED channels to detect a minimum voltage from among the sampled voltages, and amplifies a difference between the detected minimum voltage and a predetermined reference voltage to generate an error amplifying signal. The LED light emitting device generates an enable signal having a duty extended by a predetermined delay period from a duty of a dimming signal for controlling light emission periods of the at least two LED channels. In this instance, the error generator is operable by the enable signal.
