  • Patent number: 10066792
    Abstract: A linear lighting module includes a first string of series-connected LED dies and a second string of series-connected LED dies. The first string of LED dies is coupled in parallel with the second string of LED dies. All of the LED dies of the first and second strings are aligned with respect to one another. The LED dies of the first string and the second string form a combined string of interleaved LED dies such that an LED die of the second string is disposed between every successive pair of LED dies of the first string. The LED dies of the combined string are mounted on a flexible substrate. Each LED die of the combined string is electrically connected to two conductors. Except for the two end LED dies of the combined string, each successive LED die must be accessed by both conductors from alternating sides of the combined string.

  • Patent number: 9756697
    Abstract: A lighting device includes a monolithic LED chip flip-chip mounted onto an interconnect structure. The monolithic chip includes LED junctions formed from a single LED junction. An active electronic component is also mounted onto the interconnect structure at a distance from the monolithic chip that is less than five times the maximum dimension of the monolithic chip. The active electronic component controls LED drive currents independently supplied to the LED junctions. Different types of phosphor are disposed laterally above the various LED junctions. A color sensor measures the light emitted from the lighting device when drive currents are supplied to first and second LED junctions. The active electronic component then supplies more drive current to the first LED junction than to the second LED junction in response to the color sensor measuring the light emitted when the prior LED drive currents are supplied to the first and second LED junctions.
