CAMERA STROBE HAVING MULTI-LED PACKAGES

摘要

First and second multi-LED packages are installed on a carrier. Each package includes its own emitting diodes that are series coupled to each other and that are encased within a single, internally reflective package having two external terminals. Each package has a light output face from which light, produced by all of the emitting diodes contained therein is emitted in response to a forward current passing through the two terminals. Each package also has phosphor mediums each positioned to be stimulated by primary light of a respective one of its contained emitting diodes, and in response emit secondary wavelength-converted light that emerges from the light output face and is combined with some of the primary light to yield white light. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

主权项

1. An illumination device comprising:
a first multi-LED package that includes a plurality of first emitting diodes that are series coupled to each other and that are encased within a single, internally reflective package having two external terminals, wherein the package has a light output face from which light, produced by all of the first emitting diodes in response to a first current passing through the two terminals, is to emerge, wherein the first multi-LED package further comprises a plurality of first phosphor mediums each positioned to be stimulated by primary light of a respective one of the first emitting diodes, and in response emit secondary wavelength-converted light that emerges from the light output face of the first multi-LED package; a second multi-LED package that includes a plurality of second emitting diodes that are series coupled to each other and that are encased within a single, internally reflective package having two terminals, wherein the package has a light output face from which light, produced by all of the second emitting diodes in response to a second current passing through them, is to emerge, wherein the second multi-LED package further comprises a plurality of second phosphor mediums each positioned to be stimulated by primary light of a respective one of the second emitting diodes, and in response emit secondary wavelength-converted light that emerges from the light output face of the second multi-LED package; and a carrier on which the first and second multi-LED packages are mounted and having conductors that are electrically coupled to the two terminals of each of the first and second multi-LED packages.
