  • Publication number: 20160013164
    Abstract: Light emitter devices for light emitting diodes (LED chips) and related methods are disclosed. In one embodiment a light emitter device includes a substrate and a chip on board (COB) array of LED chips disposed over the substrate. A layer having wavelength conversion material provided therein is disposed over the array of LED chips for forming a light emitting surface from which light is emitted upon activation of the LED chips. In some aspects, the wavelength conversion material includes phosphoric or lumiphoric material that is settled and/or more densely concentrated within one or more predetermined portions of the layer. In some aspects, the devices and methods provided herein can comprise a lumen density of approximately 30 lm/mm2 or greater.

  • Patent number: 9041042
    Abstract: High density multi-chip LED devices are described. Embodiments of the present invention provide high-density, multi-chip LED devices with relatively high efficiency and light output in a compact size. An LED device includes a plurality of interconnected LED chips and an optical element such as a lens. The LED chips may be arranged in two groups, wherein the LED chips within each group are connected in parallel and the groups are connected in series. In some embodiments, the LED device includes a submount, which may be made of ceramic. The submount may include a connection bus and semicircular areas to which chips are bonded. Wire bonds can be connected to the LED chips so that all the wire bonds are disposed on the outside of a group of LED chips to minimize light absorption.
