  • Publication number: 20180197912
    Abstract: The invention provides an LED module having a concentrated light output window. Light output from a first output window of an LED assembly (e.g. from a plurality of LEDs) is passed to an input window of a light directing element and redirected to be emitted from a second, smaller output window of a light directing element. This difference in size thereby concentrates the light output by the light directing element. The second output window (of the light directing element) is substantially perpendicular to the first output window, allowing for the size of the LED assembly in a particular dimension to not be necessarily constrained by the size of the second output window.

  • Patent number: 8086082
    Abstract: Mounting an electro-optical component (1) on a carrier substrate (2) in an accurate position with respect to an optical element (6), the carrier substrate and the electro-optical component each being provided with at least one solder pad (3, 4). The solder pads are arranged such that, when said electro-optical component is soldered onto the pads, a force is generated that acts on the electro-optical component in a direction (x) towards the optical element, and the structure is designed to allow said electro-optical component to move laterally during soldering, such that it is brought into abutment with said optical element, thereby ensuring an accurate relative positioning between the electro-optical component and the optical element.

  • Publication number: 20060081572
    Abstract: Method suitable for transferring an electronic component (2??) supported by a carrier (3) to a desired position on a substrate (1). The carrier supporting the component is moved relative to the substrate whilst the component is present on a side of the carrier facing towards the substrate, until the component is positioned opposite the desired position on teh substrate. Then a light beam (4) is directed at the carrier (3), at the location of the component (2??), from a side remote from the substrate, as a result of which a connection between the component and the carrier is broken and the component is transferred from the carrier to the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20050140000
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device (10), wherein a semiconductor element (1) provided with a number of connection regions (2) is fitted between a first, electroconductive plate (3) and a second plate (4), wherein two connection conductors (3A, 3B) are formed, from the first plate (3), for the two connection regions (2A, 2B) of the element (1), wherein a passivating encapsulation (5) is provided between the plates (3, 4) and around the element (1), and wherein the device (10) is formed by applying a mechanical separating technique in two mutually perpendicular directions (L, M). In a method according to the invention, the connection conductors (3A, 3B) are formed by providing a mask (6) on the first conducting plate (3) in such a manner that a part (3C) of the plate (3) situated between the connection regions (2A, 2B) remains exposed, which part is subsequently removed by etching.
