Abstract
Light emitting diode (LED) chips and devices for providing failure mitigation in LED arrays are disclosed. In one aspect, an LED chip can include a body with an anode and a cathode in the form of electrically conductive bond pads. The anode and cathode can be configured to electrically communicate with more than two electrical components via electrical connectors.
Claims30
A light emitting diode (LED) chip comprising:
- a chip body comprising an anode and a cathode in the form of electrically conductive bond pads;
- and
- wherein the anode or the cathode is configured to electrically communicate with more than two electrical components via electrical connectors, and wherein at least one of the two electrical components comprises a same electrical polarity as the anode or the cathode to which it is connected.
A light emitting device comprising:
- a submount;
- and
- at least one light emitting diode (LED) chip selectively positioned at one of several locations over the submount, the at least one LED comprising:
- a chip body comprising an anode and a cathode in the form of electrically conductive bond pads;
- wherein either one of the anode or the cathode comprises a plurality of bond pads that are configured to electrically communicate with more than two electrical components via electrical connectors.
