    摘要: Relatively small, electrically isolated segments of LED light sheets are fabricated having an anode terminal and a cathode terminal. The segments contain microscopic printed LEDs that are connected in parallel by two conductive layers sandwiching the LEDs. The top conductive layer is transparent. Separately formed from the light sheet segments is a flexible, large area conductor backplane having a single layer or multiple layers of solid metal strips (traces). The segments are laminated over the backplane's metal pattern to supply power to the segment terminals. An adhesive layer secures the segments to the backplane. The metal pattern may connect the segments in series, or parallel, or form an addressable circuit for a display. The segments may be on a common substrate or physically separated from each other prior to the lamination.

    摘要: A first layer of first vertical light emitting diodes (VLEDs) is printed on a conductor surface. A first transparent conductor layer is deposited over the first VLEDs to electrically contact top electrodes of the first VLEDs. A second layer of second VLEDs is printed on the first transparent conductor layer. Since the VLEDs are printed as an ink, the second VLEDs are not vertically aligned with the first VLEDs, so light from the first VLEDs is not substantially blocked by the second VLEDs when the VLEDs are turned on. A second transparent conductor layer is deposited over the second VLEDs to electrically contact top electrodes of the second VLEDs. By this structure, the first VLEDs are connected in parallel, the second VLEDs are connected in parallel, and the first layer of first VLEDs and the second layer of second VLEDs are connected in series by the first transparent conductor layer.

    摘要: A method of forming a light sheet includes printing a layer of inorganic LEDs on a first conductive surface of a substrate, depositing a first dielectric layer, and depositing a second conductor layer over the LEDs so that the LEDs are connected in parallel. At least one of the first conductive surface or the second conductor layer is transparent to allow light to escape. A phosphor layer may be formed over the light sheet so that the LED light mixed with the phosphor light creates white light. The flat light sheet is then folded, such as by molding, to form a three-dimensional structure with angled light emitting walls and reflective surfaces to control a directionality of the emitted light and improve the mixing of light. The folds may form rows of angled walls or polygons.

    摘要: A system of interlocking LED panel tiles includes a first tile having at least one layer of light emitting diodes (LEDs) provided on a substrate, where the substrate is mounted on a substantially rectangular supporting plate having interlocking features. The substrate overlaps the interlocking features. The first tile has a set of positive and negative voltage conductors running between the two sets of opposite edges of the tile as busses. Multiple identical tiles are provided. Each tile has the interlocking features along their edges that firmly physically connect to abutting tiles to create a lamp having any pattern of tiles selected by the user. By interlocking the tiles, the positive and negative conductors are automatically connected to electrically connect the LEDs in the tiles in parallel, and the interlocking features are hidden by the overlying substrate. Additional conductors may be used to provide greater interconnection flexibility.

    摘要: A PV module is formed having an array of PV cells, where the cells are separated by gaps. Each cell contains an array of small silicon sphere diodes (10-300 microns in diameter) connected in parallel. The diodes and conductor layers may be patterned by printing. A continuous metal substrate supports the diodes and conductor layers in all the cells. A dielectric substrate is laminated to the metal substrate. Trenches are then formed by laser ablation around the cells to sever the metal substrate to form electrically isolated PV cells. A metallization step is then performed to connect the cells in series to increase the voltage output of the PV module. An electrically isolated bypass diode for each cell is also formed by the trenching step. The metallization step connects the bypass diode and its associated cell in a reverse-parallel relationship.

    摘要: An LED module is disclosed containing an integrated driver transistor (e.g, a MOSFET) in series with an LED. In one embodiment, LED layers are grown over a substrate. The transistor regions are formed over the same substrate. After the LED layers, such as GaN layers, are grown to form the LED portion, a central area of the LED is etched away to expose a semiconductor surface in which the transistor regions are formed. A conductor connects the transistor in series with the LED. Another node of the transistor is electrically coupled to an electrode on the bottom surface of the substrate. In one embodiment, an anode of the LED is connected to one terminal of the module, one current carrying node of the transistor is connected to a second terminal of the module, and the control terminal of the transistor is connected to a third terminal of the module.

The backplane has power terminals electrically coupled to the metal traces for receiving power.
