Further, a method for mounting a flexible LED strip (301) in a channel sign is provided. The method comprises the steps of attaching at least one clip (302) to an interior surface (303) of the channel sign, folding back an end (304) of the LED strip, and fixating the LED strip including the folded end using the clip.

  • Patent number: 8088636
    Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) packaging method includes the steps of preparing a circuit board (1), a transparent cap (3), and at least one LED material (2), placing the transparent cap (3) on the LED material (2) such that the circuit board (1) is aligned and superimposed, and forming an encapsulation layer (4) having a light pattern on the transparent cap (3) by an in-mold decoration injection molding process. In the in-mold decoration injection molding process, a filling port (511) of a mold (5) is aligned precisely above the LED material (2) to prevent a deviation of the LED material (2) and omit a surface mount technology (SMT) process, so as to integrally form an LED with a light pattern at the same time and achieve good water-resisting and static charge resisting effects.

  • Patent number: 8084775
    Abstract: A light source and method for making the same are disclosed. The light source includes a substrate and a light emitting structure that is deposited on the substrate. A barrier divides the light emitting structure into first and second segments that are electrically isolated from one another. A serial connection electrode connects the first segment in series with the second segment. A first blocking diode between the light emitting structure and the substrate prevents current from flowing between the light emitting structure and the substrate when the light emitting structure is emitting light. The barrier extends through the light emitting structure into the first blocking diode.
