Since the dye-sensitized solar cell plays a role of a diffusion plate, the LED luminaire may diffuse light and convert wasted light into power. Further, since energy consumption and green-house gas generation decrease, it is possible to provide an environment-friendly LED luminaire. Moreover, if the power generated by the dye-sensitized solar cell is used for cooling the LED luminaire, it is possible to enhance heat dissipation efficiency of the LED luminaire.

    Abstract: A solid state light source with LEDs in thermal contact to thermally conductive translucent elements where light emitted from the LEDs is directed to emerge from the heat dissipating surfaces of the elements. The thermally conductive translucent elements are arranged or combined with a reflector to form a light recycling cavity. The outside surfaces of the thermally conductive translucent elements forming the cavity become luminescent as the light emitted by the LEDs on the inside of the cavity is continually reflected and recycled until a very high percentage of the light emitted by the LEDs is eventually transmitted through and emitted uniformly and omnidirectionally. Simultaneously, the heat from the LEDs conducts through and to the luminescent outside surfaces of the elements of the cavity, which radiatively and convectively cool the light source thereby eliminating the need for bulky appended heat sinks.

  • Patent number: 8659047
    Abstract: A light emitting device includes a substrate having an element mounting area in a principal surface thereof. The light emitting device also includes at least one light emitting element mounted in the element mounting area of the substrate. The light emitting device also includes a heat transfer member provided on the substrate. The heat transfer member has a thermal conductivity different from thermal conductivity of the substrate so as to form uneven thermal resistance distribution in the element mounting area. Thermal resistance in a heat radiation path through the substrate for release of heat emitted from the light emitting element changes with the mounting position of the light emitting element.

  • Patent number: 8659042
    Abstract: A low-cost integrated reflector and heat spreader for high-density high power solid-state (e.g., LED) lighting arrays includes a base structure onto which is applied a sacrificial material. A relatively thick thermal spray coating is applied over the base structure and sacrificial material. The sacrificial material is removed. A channel(s) is thereby provided within the thermal spray coating layer and in physical contact with the base structure. The channel may be filled with a cooling fluid. A pulsating heat pipe heat spreader may thereby be provided. A reflective material may be provided either over another surface of the base structure or alternatively over the thermal spray coating layer to provide a surface for reflecting and directing light emitted from a solid state light source that may be secured to the integrated reflector and heat spreader.

  • Patent number: 8648379
    Abstract: Provided is a light emitting diode (LED) lamp assembly having an increased light incidence angle by fixing unit LED lamps fixed on a substrate at various angles. The LED lamp assembly includes a substrate having a socket portion and an LED mounting portion, first unit LED modules installed on both surfaces of the substrate and irradiating light onto the both surfaces of the substrate in a frontward direction, and second unit LED modules irradiating light onto the both surface of the substrate in directions other than the frontward direction. In the LED lamp assembly, since first and second unit LED modules having light irradiation units formed at different positions are installed on both surfaces of a single substrate, light can be irradiated in a radial direction.

  • Patent number: 8614456
    Abstract: An LED die (3) is arranged with an adhesive (4) on an LED PCB (6). The LED PCB (6) has on the side opposite to the LED die (3) rear side contacts (7). Through this a self-contained LED lamp is formed, which e.g. can be applied by means of SMT to a board (9) or introduced into a lamp socket. In accordance with the invention, the rear side contacts (7) cover at least the half area, preferably the entire area apart from necessary exceptions, of the LED PCB (6). Through this, the heat can be discharged with slight thermal resistance. Preferably a cooling body (11) is arranged on the rear side of the board (9). In this case it is expedient if the board (9) has through-contacts for increasing the thermal conductivity.
