    Abstract: An AC LED device for avoiding harmonic current and flash includes an AC power input terminal, a first AC LED group and a second AC LED group. The AC power input terminal receives an AC power including a positive half-cycle and a negative half-cycle. The first AC LED group is turned on in the positive half-cycle and turned off in the negative half-cycle. The second AC LED group is turned on in the negative half-cycle and turned off in the positive half-cycle. Each of the first AC LED group and the second AC LED group has an overall on voltage with a value lower than a peak voltage value of the AC power by a predetermined value, and an overall peak inverse voltage with a value higher than the peak voltage value of the AC power, so as to increase power factor and avoid harmonic current, thereby effectively eliminating flash problems of the AC LED.

  • Publication number: 20100270575
    Abstract: An AC LED package structure includes a heat-sink slug, an AC LED module, a positive-electrode frame, a negative-electrode frame, and an insulation submount. The AC LED module is electrically connected with the positive-electrode frame and the negative-electrode frame, respectively. The insulation submount is interposed between the AC LED module and the heat-sink slug. The insulation submount is characterized by having a voltage-resistance value greater than 1000 volts. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the AC LED chip of an AC LED device from being broken through by high voltage, causing an electric shock if a human body touches the AC LED device. And moreover, the AC LED device can satisfy the requirements of a certified safety specification.

  • Publication number: 20100230695
    Abstract: An LED package structure includes an LED chip, an internal transparent colloidal layer, a fluorescent colloidal layer, and an external transparent colloidal layer. The internal transparent colloidal layer is interposed between the LED chip (such as a blue-light LED chip) and the fluorescent colloidal layer (such as a yellow fluorescent colloidal layer), and that the external transparent colloidal layer, in cooperation with the internal transparent colloidal layer, sandwiches and envelops the fluorescent colloidal layer so as to lower the possibility that light emitted from the LED chip may be absorbed by the LED chip itself because the light is scattered backward by particles of the fluorescent powder. This will increase overall lumen output and decrease thermal energy of the LED chip, and will as well provide a more desirable moisture insulation for the fluorescent powder.
