  • Patent number: 8269408
    Abstract: An LED base structure with an embedded capacitor includes a body, at least one pair of metal layers, at least one dielectric layer, and at least two conductive channels. The body is an insulating base. The metal layers are disposed in the body, and the dielectric layer is disposed between the metal layers, so as to form an embedded capacitor. The conductive channels are electrically connected to the metal layers, respectively. The LED base structure is further electrically connected to a resistor for forming a resistor-capacitor delay circuit whereby a phase delay is effectuated whenever AC power is supplied to the LED base structure, so as to control the time for switching on one of two parallel-connected LEDs and, as a result, prevent the LEDs from flashing which might otherwise arise when the LEDs are supplied with AC power.

  • Publication number: 20120018773
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an alternating current (AC) light emitting diode (LED) structure with overload protection, which comprises an AC LED, a heat dissipating unit and an overload protecting unit. The AC LED is thermally connected with the heat dissipating unit, and the overload protecting unit is connected in series between the AC LED and a power source. Thus, when an overload current is inputted to the AC LED structure, the temperature of the overload protecting unit will rise to disconnect the AC LED from the power source. In this way, an open-circuit status can be produced timely in the AC LED structure to block the power input into the AC LED for purpose of protection against overload.

  • Publication number: 20110090713
    Abstract: A flexible backlight module includes a light source module and a flexible light guide panel, wherein the flexible light guide panel has a light incident surface, a light reflecting surface, and a light outgoing surface. The light incident surface of the flexible light guide panel is directly connected and thereby optically coupled to the light source module so that the light emitted by the light source module can be completely coupled to the flexible light guide panel. Consequently, the loss of light is reduced while the luminous efficiency of light is increased. Light entering the flexible light guide panel is reflected by the light reflecting surface to the light outgoing surface and then projected outward. The flexible light guide panel can be curved as needed thanks to its flexibility and thus features a wide application range.

  • Publication number: 20100277932
    Abstract: A halation-free light-emitting diode holder includes a body and a retaining portion. The body has a die holder, which includes a first surface, a second surface, and an opened end. The retaining portion is provided on the second surface. By using the retaining portion, the optical gel in the die holder is blocked from capillary movement up along the second surface. Furthermore, having nano-material layers further formed on the second surface or having the area of the first surface made greater than the area of the opened-end also prevents the optical gel from climbing along the second surface. Thereby, a light halation circling a light pattern of the resultant light-emitting diode is avoided and the light-emitting diode is improved in luminance uniformity.
