  • Multi-dimensional LED array system and associated methods and structures
    Patent number: 8450756
    Abstract: A formed, multi-dimensional light-emitting diode (LED) array is disclosed. A substrate is bent into a trapezoidal shape having different sections facing in different directions. Each section has one or more mounted LEDs that emit light with an azimuthally non-circular, monotonic angular distribution. A converter material is placed in an optical path of the LEDs to alter characteristics of the light from the LEDs.
    Type: Grant
