  • Patent number: 8373353
    Abstract: An alternating current light emitting diode device is disclosed, which comprises a substrate having a supporting surface and two supporting elements locating on the two sides of the supporting surface; a plurality of LED grains set on the supporting surface; a first chip resistor set on one of the two supporting elements; and a plurality of electrical wires providing electrical connections between the LED grains, and between the LED grain and the first chip resistor. Therefore, the total wattage of the AC LED device can be lowered to a designed range by using a chip resistor with proper resistance, and the total illumination efficiency can be increased.

  • Publication number: 20110199749
    Abstract: An LED support's lead frame structure includes a side frame, a loading piece connected with the side frame, and at least one electrode pin. The electrode pin is located at one side of the loading piece and is spaced apart therefrom. The loading piece has a thickness same as that of the electrode pin. The electrode pin includes, connected in sequence, a first external leading section, a wire-bonding section, and a second external leading section. Both the first and the second external leading sections are connected with the side frame. The wire-bonding section includes a first protrusion. Therefore, the material required for wire-bonding is decreased, and the steps for machining the lead frame are decreased, so that the manufacturing process can be speeded up. This will help LED products miniaturized and the LED structure superior in thermal conductivity.

  • Publication number: 20110084617
    Abstract: A high reliability and long lifetime AC LED device includes: an LED group, a rectifier diode group and an AC power. The LED group includes a plurality of LED micro-chips connected in series. The rectifier diode group includes four rectifier diodes. The AC power is electrically connected to the rectifier diode group, and the rectifier diode group is electrically connected to the LED group. The AC power includes a positive half-cycle voltage and a negative half-cycle voltage. The rectifier diode group enables the LED group to conduct both in positive and negative half-cycle voltage, so as to prevent the LED group from bearing high reverse bias voltage, and extend the light-emitting lifetime and enhance the reliability.

  • Publication number: 20110018449
    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: 20110018457
    Abstract: An AC LED device for eliminating harmonic current comprises: a first AC-LED group, a second AC-LED group, and a resistor. The first AC LED group and the second AC LED group are connected in parallel to the resistor, and the resistor is further connected to an AC power supply terminal. Each of the first AC LED group and the second AC LED group has a forward on voltage such that the AC LED device has an overall forward on voltage that is lower than a voltage of the AC power supply terminal and also lower than a forward on voltage of the first AC LED group and the second AC-LED group connected in series. Therefore, harmonic current can be effectively eliminated in LED optical mask design, semiconductor manufacturing process or packaging process.

  • 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.
