Light-emitting diode device
View Patent ↗A light-emitting diode device includes a transparent substrate having an edge side, a peripheral region and a central region surrounded by the peripheral region; and a plurality of light-emitting diode units disposed along the peripheral region and having a first light-emitting diode unit with an edge parallel to the edge side. The central region is devoid of any light-emitting diode unit.
1. A light-emitting diode device comprising:
a transparent substrate having an edge side, a peripheral region and a central region surrounded by the peripheral region;
a substrate;
a plurality of light-emitting diode units disposed along the peripheral region and having a first light-emitting diode unit which is formed on the substrate and has an edge parallel to the edge side; and
an adhesive layer formed between the substrate and the transparent substrate, wherein the central region is devoid of any light-emitting diode unit.
2. The light-emitting diode device of claim 1 , wherein the transparent substrate comprises glass or organic polymer material.
3. The light-emitting diode device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of light-emitting diode units is arranged in a closed-loop configuration.
4. The light-emitting diode device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of light-emitting diode units is electrically connected to each other in series.
5. The light-emitting diode device of claim 1 , wherein some of the plurality of light-emitting diode units are commonly formed on the substrate.
