  • Patent number: 10094516
    Abstract: An LED light arrangement is provided. The light arrangement includes LED light emitting components mounted to a flexible circuit board having a flexible graphite substrate. The flexible circuit board includes a dielectric layer formed on the surface of the flexible graphite substrate and an electrically conductive layer formed on the surface of the dielectric. The high in-plane thermal conductivity graphite substrate provides enhanced heat transfer capability to effectively move of heat away from the electronic components for improved cooling of the heat generating light emitting component and surrounding devices.
    Type: Grant
