Abstract
An LED light bulb and a fabrication method thereof are provided. An LED circuit board for driving an LED filament are fixed to form a supporting structure for supporting and fixing the LED filament in position, without using a stem of a conventional LED light bulb, thereby simplifying fabrication processes of the LED light bulb and reducing fabrication costs thereof. Moreover, the LED light bulb does not require an internal space for accommodating the stem, and thus its length can be effectively reduced to ideally become a small-size light bulb.

An LED light bulb (1), including:
- an LED filament (11), which is a strip and has two ends respectively formed with a positive electrode (111) and a negative electrode (112);
- an LED circuit board (12) for supporting the LED filament (11), wherein the LED circuit board (12) has an LED drive circuit (123) for driving the LED filament (11), and a first end (121) for being electrically connected to the positive electrode (111) and the negative electrode (112) respectively;
- a glass envelope (13) having an upper part (131) formed with an internal space (132) therein and a lower part (133) formed with a passage (134) therethrough, wherein the LED filament (11) is allowed to pass through the passage (134) and enter the internal space (132) until the LED circuit board (12) is engaged with the lower part (133) of the glass envelope (13) such that the LED filament (11) is positioned in the internal space (132);
- a power wire set (14) for being electrically connected to a second end (122) of the LED circuit board (12), and for receiving power and supplying electricity to the LED drive circuit (123);
- and
- a screw base (15) for being electrically connected to the power wire set (14) that is extended to an inner wall (154) of the screw base (15).
A fabrication method of an LED light bulb (1), including the steps of:
- providing an LED filament (11), an LED circuit board (12) and a power wire set (14), wherein the LED filament (11) is a strip having two ends formed with electrodes respectively, the LED circuit board (12) includes an LED drive circuit (123) for driving the LED filament (11), and the power wire set (14) is electrically connected to the LED circuit board (12) and for receiving power and supplying electricity to the LED drive circuit (12);
- electrically connecting the LED filament (11) to the LED circuit board (12), for allowing the LED circuit board (12) to support and drive the LED filament (11);
- providing a glass envelope (13), the glass envelope (13) having an internal space (132) formed therein and a passage (134) formed therethrough;
- allowing the LED filament (11) to pass through the passage (134) and enter the internal space (132) until the LED circuit board (12) is engaged with the glass envelope (13) so as to position the LED filament (11) in the internal space (132);
- and
- providing a screw base (15), and allowing the power wire set (14) to be extended to an inner wall (154) of the screw base (15) and soldered to the screw base (15), so as to electrically connect the power wire set (14) and the screw base (15).
