US 8,525,193 B2 · Layered structure for use with high power light emitting diode systems

Abstract

A layered structure for use with a high power light emitting diode system comprises an electrically insulating intermediate layer interconnecting a top layer and a bottom layer. The top layer, the intermediate layer, and the bottom layer form an at least semi-flexible elongate member having a longitudinal axis and a plurality of positions spaced along the longitudinal axis. The at least semi-flexible elongate member is bendable laterally proximate the plurality of positions spaced along the longitudinal axis to a radius of at least 6 inches, twistable relative to its longitudinal axis up to 10 degrees per inch, and bendable to conform to localized heat sink surface flatness variations having a radius of at least 1 inch. The top layer is pre-populated with electrical components for high wattage, the electrical components including at least one high wattage light emitting diode at least 1.0 Watt per 0.8 inch squared.
