  • Publication number: 20140252947
    Abstract: An illuminant device with over-temperature protection is electrically connected to a power source and includes a housing, a illuminant element, a resistor, and an over-temperature protective element. The housing includes an upper portion, a lower portion opposite to the upper portion, and two accommodating spaces communicating with the upper end and the lower end respectively. The illuminant element is placed on the upper portion. The resistor is located within one of the accommodating space and electrically connected to the illuminant element. The over-temperature protective element is located within the other accommodating space and electrically connected to the illuminant element. The over-temperature protective element senses temperatures of the illuminant element and selectively breaks the power source, such that the illuminant element is switched between conductive and non-conductive.

    Abstract: A light emitting device comprises: an LED chip array comprising a plurality of LEDs formed on a single die (monolithic chip array) and at least one discrete LED that is separate from the LED chip array connected in series with the LED chip array. In an AC-drivable device the LED chip array is AC-drivable and two or more discrete LEDs are configured to be AC-drivable. The device can further comprise a package in which the LED chip array and discrete LED(s) are mounted. The discrete LEDs are configured such that positive and negative half wave periods of an AC drive voltage are mapped onto oppositely connected LED such that oppositely connected LED chips are alternately operable on a respective half wave period.

  • Patent number: 8440500
    Abstract: A light emitting device comprises a plurality of LED chips (“lateral” or “vertical” conducting) operable to generate light of a first wavelength range and a package for housing the chips. The package comprises: a thermally conducting substrate (copper) on which the LED chips are mounted and a cover having a plurality of through-holes in which each hole corresponds to a respective one of the LED chips. The holes are configured such that when the cover is mounted to the substrate each hole in conjunction with the substrate defines a recess in which a respective chip is housed. Each recess is at least partially filled with a mixture of at least one phosphor material and a transparent material. In a device with “lateral” conducting LED chips a PCB is mounted on the substrate and includes a plurality of through-holes which are configured such that each chip is directly mounted to the substrate. For a device with “vertical” conducting LED chips the LED chips are mounted on a diamond like carbon film.
