Patent number: 7458709Abstract: In a method of assembling a surface illumination system having an electromagnetic radiation emitting front side, at least one primary radiation source suitable for emitting electromagnetic radiation when operating is disposed on at least one mounting area of a flexible carrier. The flexible carrier has a front side and a back side opposite said front side, the front side of the flexible carrier defines a reference plane. The mounting area of the flexible carrier on which the primary radiation source is disposed is then bent out of the reference plane such that an optical axis of the primary radiation source extends parallel or obliquely to the reference plane.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2005Date of Patent: December 2, 2008Assignee: Osram Opto Semiconductors GmbHInventors: Kurt-Jürgen Lang, Hubert Ott, Ludwig Plotz, Christian Poh, Mario Wanninger
