Abstract

Provided an LED module comprising a metallic thin film having a flexibility; a circuit pattern printed on the metallic thin film so as to be insulated from the metallic thin film; one or more LEDs mounted on the metallic thin film on which the circuit pattern is not formed; wire for electrically connecting the LED and the circuit pattern; and a fluorescent body formed on the LED.

Claims (33)

1 . An LED module comprising:

a metallic thin film having a flexibility;

a circuit pattern printed on the metallic thin film so as to be insulated from the metallic thin film;

one or more LEDs mounted on the metallic thin film on which the circuit pattern is not formed;

wire for electrically connecting the LED and the circuit pattern; and

a fluorescent body formed on the LED.

2 . An LED module comprising:

a metallic thin film having a flexibility;

a circuit pattern printed on the metallic thin film so as to be insulated from the metallic thin film; and

one or more LED packages mounted on the metallic thin film so as to be electrically connected to the circuit pattern.

3 . The LED module according to claim 2 ,

wherein the LED package includes:

a lead frame composed of a pair of lead terminals;

a package formed of synthetic resin so as to house a portion of the lead frame therein;

an LED mounted on the lead frame inside the package; and

a molding material filled in the package so as to protect the LED.

4 . The LED module according to claim 1 ,

wherein the circuit pattern printed on the metallic thin film so as to be insulated from the metallic thin film includes:

a first metallic thin film having an insulating pattern formed in the same shape as the circuit pattern;

a conductive film formed on the insulating pattern; and

a second metallic thin film formed on the first metallic thin film so as to be insulated from the conductive film.

5 . The LED module according to claim 4 ,

wherein the first and second metallic thin films are formed of any one of copper, aluminum, nickel, and an alloy thereof.

6 . The LED module according to claim 1 further comprising:

a flexible heat sink formed on one surface of the metallic thin film on which the circuit pattern is not printed.

7 . The LED module according to claim 6 ,

wherein the heat sink is formed on one surface of the metallic thin film through a bonding layer.

8 . The LED module according to claim 6 ,

wherein the heat sink is plated on one surface of the metallic thin film by a plating method.

9 . The LED module according to claim 6 ,

wherein the heat sink is formed of any one of copper, aluminum, nickel, and an alloy thereof.

10 . The LED module according to claim 1 ,

wherein the flexible metallic thin film further includes one or more holes formed on portions where the circuit pattern is not formed, the holes being formed so as to be spaced from each other at a predetermined distance.
