Abstract: A process for mounting a light component on a carrier. The light component includes a generally planar substrate, on a first face of which submillimetre-sized electroluminescent semiconductor elements are epitaxied in the form of a matrix. The process is noteworthy in that it eliminates the need for a layer of filler material between the component and the carrier, while providing good thermal and electrical conductivity between the component and the carrier and high mechanical strength.
