  • Patent number: 8803166
    Abstract: An arrangement of light emitting diodes including a first micro-die, a second micro-die, a first bridge, a second bridge and a substrate supporting the first micro-die and the second micro die. The first micro-die includes a first edge having a first end and a second end, a second edge opposite and not parallel to the first edge, a first connecting portion near the first end, and a second connecting portion near the second end.

  • Patent number: 8368099
    Abstract: A light emitting device and a fabricating method thereof are described. The light emitting device includes a substrate, a light emitting chip, a tubular structure, and a fluorescent conversion layer. The tubular structure is formed on a surface of the substrate. The light emitting chip is disposed on the surface of the substrate and is surrounded by the tubular structure. The fluorescent conversion layer is disposed in the tubular structure and covers the light emitting chip. A ratio of a maximal vertical thickness and a maximal horizontal thickness of the fluorescent conversion layer at the light emitting chip is between 0.1 and 10. A distance for the light ray to pass through the fluorescent conversion layer is controlled by using the tubular structure, so as to solve a problem of the conventional art that fluorescent powder coating package technique results in non-uniform color temperature of the emitted light.

  • Patent number: 8053791
    Abstract: A structure of light-emitting diode (LED) dies having an AC loop (a structure of AC LED dies), which is formed with at least one unit of AC LED micro-dies disposed on a chip. The unit of AC LED micro-dies comprises two LED micro-dies arranged in mutually reverse orientations and connected with each other in parallel, to which an AC power supply may be applied so that the LED unit may continuously emit light in response to a positive-half wave voltage and a negative-half wave voltage in the AC power supply. Since each AC LED micro-die is operated forwardly, the structure of AC LED dies also provides protection from electrical static charge (ESD) and may operate under a high voltage.

  • Patent number: 7598533
    Abstract: A high power LED has at least a porous material layer, a thermal conductive layer and a chip. The thermal conductive layer is disposed on the surface of the porous material layer and the chip is disposed on the thermal conductive layer. Heat generated by the chip is conducted from the thermal conductive layer to the porous material layer, and convected outside via the porous material layer. Thereby, surface area in contact with the air is increased and high thermal conductivity and high heat convection are also achieved.

  • Patent number: 7589354
    Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) package includes at least one LED chip, a carrier, a light reflection element and at least one outside connection electrode. The LED chip is disposed on the carrier and a conductive line or a flip chip method is used to connect the electrodes of the LED chip to the external connection electrodes. A transparent material is used for fixing the light reflection element and carrier, and forming a lens.
