SOLID STATE LIGHT SOURCE-BASED MODULE CONVERTIBLE BETWEEN LINEAR AND NON-LINEAR SHAPES

摘要

A lighting module is provided. The lighting module includes a flexible substrate having a first side and a second side, a plurality of solid state light sources, and a flexible housing. The first side of the flexible substrate has conductive traces. The plurality of solid state light sources is placed on the first side of the flexible substrate. The plurality of solid state light sources is electrically connected to the conductive traces. The flexible housing has at least a first shape, which may be linear, and a second shape, which may be non-linear. The flexible housing includes a flexible superelastic material in an austenite phase. The flexible housing is placed in proximity to the flexible substrate to form the lighting module.
