  • Light-emitting diode and method of producing a light-emitting diode
    Patent number: 9144133
    Abstract: A light-emitting diode includes at least one light-emitting diode chip, a carrier for the at least one light-emitting diode chip, and at least one control device integrated into the carrier, wherein each of the light-emitting diode chips is electrically connected to one of the at least one control devices, each of the at least one control devices includes a data storage device in which brightness data for each light-emitting diode chip which is connected to the control device is stored, and the control device drives the connected light-emitting diode chip with a current which is selected according to stored brightness data for the light-emitting diode chip.
