Abstract
An LED light arrangement is provided. The light arrangement includes LED light emitting components mounted to a flexible circuit board having a flexible graphite substrate. The flexible circuit board includes a dielectric layer formed on the surface of the flexible graphite substrate and an electrically conductive layer formed on the surface of the dielectric. The high in-plane thermal conductivity graphite substrate provides enhanced heat transfer capability to effectively move of heat away from the electronic components for improved cooling of the heat generating light emitting component and surrounding devices.
Claims24
A light emitting diode (LED) light arrangement comprising:
- a flexible circuit board including a flexible graphite substrate having a first major surface and a second major surface, a dielectric layer disposed on at least one of the first and second major surfaces, and an electrically conductive layer arranged to form an electrical circuit disposed on the dielectric layer;
- an LED mounted to the flexible graphite substrate and in electrically conductive contact with the electrically conductive layer thereby forming a component of the electrical circuit;
- and
- a rigid frame having as support member with a support surface in physical contact with the flexible circuit board.
