Abstract

A flexible sheet of light-emitting diode (LED) light emitters includes a support substrate having a thermally conductive material. The flexible sheet of LED light emitters also has an LED emitter sheet overlying the support substrate, and the LED emitter sheet including a plurality of LED light emitters. The flexible sheet of LED light emitters also has a flexible circuit sheet overlying the LED emitter sheet, and a phosphor sheet overlying the flexible circuit sheet. The phosphor sheet includes a wave-length converting material. The flexible sheet of LED light emitters also has a lens sheet overlying the phosphor sheet. The lens sheet includes a plurality of lenses.
