Abstract
A flexible light emitting diode (LED) sheet operable to (i) produce light, (ii) enhance an amount of light and/or connected light-emitting diodes and/or sheets that can be daisy chained together, and (iii) lower wattage consumption. Lighting options include single color, color changing lighting, and pixel lighting.
Claims19
A lighting system comprising:
- a flexible light emitting diode (LED) sheet operable to produce light, the flexible LED sheet including a plurality of conductive rows connecting a plurality of LEDs to form an LED array having one or more repeatable units,
- wherein,
- the lighting system is operable to provide pixel lighting, and
- a repeatable unit of the plurality of repeatable units includes a 4040 chip and a WS2814 chip designated to LEDs of the repeatable unit.

A lighting system operable to provide pixel lighting comprising:
- a flexible light emitting diode (LED) sheet operable to produce light, the flexible LED sheet including a plurality of rows of LEDs arranged along a plurality of parallel conductive rows electrically connecting the plurality of rows of LEDs to form an LED array, the LED array having a plurality of repeatable units defined at least by a plurality of cutting or puncturing areas alternating with and running parallel to the plurality of rows of LEDs, a repeatable unit of the plurality of repeatable units includes a 4040 chip and a WS2814 chip designated to LEDs of the repeatable unit.
A method of forming a lighting system to provide pixel lighting, the method comprising:
- providing a flexible light emitting diode (LED) sheet including a plurality of repeatable units having a plurality of parallel conductive rows electrically connecting a plurality of rows of LEDs, a repeatable unit of the plurality of repeatable units includes a 4040 chip and a WS2814 chip designated to LEDs of the repeatable unit;
- connecting an end of the flexible LED sheet to another flexible LED sheet with a daisy chain arrangement;
- forming an attachment boundary of the flexible LED sheet that corresponds to a surface of an object;
- and
- puncturing one or more fixture element puncture indicators, formed into a puncturing area in the flexible LED sheet, with one or more fixture elements to secure the flexible LED sheet to an illumination object.
