Abstract

A method for forming a flexible sheet of LED light emitters includes forming a micro lens sheet having a plurality of micro lenses, forming a phosphor sheet including a wave-length converting material, forming a flexible circuit sheet, forming a ceramic substrate sheet including a plurality of LED light emitters, and forming a support substrate including a thermally conductive material. The method also includes attaching the above sheets to form a stack including, from top to bottom, the micro lens sheet, the phosphor sheet, the flexible circuit sheet, the ceramic substrate sheet, and the support substrate.

Claims (19)

1. A method for forming a flexible sheet of light-emitting diode (LED) light emitters, comprising:

forming a lens sheet having a plurality of micro lenses;

forming a phosphor sheet including a wave-length converting material;

forming a flexible circuit sheet;

forming a ceramic substrate sheet including a plurality of LED light emitters;

forming a support substrate including a thermally conductive material; and

forming a sheet of LED emitters by forming a stack of sheets including the micro lens sheet, the phosphor sheet, the flexible circuit sheet, and the ceramic substrate sheet.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sheet of LED emitters also comprises the support substrate.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein forming the stack of sheets comprises applying thermal energy.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein forming the stack of sheets using mechanical pressure.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the micro lens sheet comprises a glass material.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the micro lens sheet comprises a plurality of preformed notches or cracks.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the flexible circuit sheet comprises conductive lines and solder joints formed on a flexible and stretchable material.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the flexible circuit sheet comprises conductive lines formed in zig-zag shapes.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ceramic substrate sheet comprises a plurality of preformed notches.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising singulating the lens sheet of by separating the lens sheet at the preformed notches.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising singulating the flexible sheet of LED light emitters by separating the ceramic substrate sheet at the preformed notches.

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising singulating the flexible sheet of LED light emitters by passing the flexible sheet through one or more rollers.

13. The method of claim 1 , where in the flexible sheets are also stretchable, and the conductive wires are in zig-zag form.
