Multi-dimensional solid state lighting device array system and associated methods and structures

摘要

A multi-dimensional solid state lighting (SSL) device array system and method are disclosed. An SSL device includes a support, a pillar having several sloped facets mounted to the support, and a flexible substrate pressed against the pillar. The substrate can carry a plurality of solid state emitters (SSEs) facing in various directions corresponding to the sloped facets of the pillar. The flexible substrate can be a flat substrate prepared using planar mounting techniques, such as wirebonding techniques, before bending the substrate against the pillar.

1. A solid state light (SSL) device, comprising:
a flexible interface member having a central section and at least one outer section,
wherein individual sections include—a first side and a second side,a first contact on a first side of the interface member,a second contact on the first side of the interface member, anda through-connect extending from the first side to the second side, the through-connect being electrically coupled to the first contact; and a plurality of solid state emitters (SSE), wherein at least one SSE is attached to each of the central section and outer section, and the individual SSEs are carried by the section and electrically connected to the first contact and to the second contact.
