A light source and a method for operating the same are disclosed. The light source includes a light emitter and a controller. The light emitter generates light in response to a control signal coupled thereto. The light emitter is characterized by an age related to the amount of light that has been cumulatively generated by the light emitter, the generated light for a given control signal changing with the age. The controller measures the age of the light emitter and generates the control signal based on the desired light intensity and the measured age of the light emitter. In one embodiment, the controller stores an age value for the light emitter, and the controller determines the control signal in response to an input signal specifying a desired light intensity from the light emitter, the controller updating the age value each time the control signal is determined.

Color management system

A lighting apparatus is described. One embodiment of the lighting apparatus includes a substrate and a lighting element. The lighting element is coupled to the substrate to emit light through a light exit plane. The light exit plane is substantially perpendicular to the substrate. By providing a lighting device with a substrate oriented perpendicular to the light exit plane of the lighting device, the lighting device can enable better mixing of the light from different LEDs. The lighting apparatus facilitates light mixing, generally, to minimize or eliminate dark spots on the diffusion panel. The lighting device also facilitates color mixing to produce relatively consistent white light on the diffusion panel.

In one embodiment, an opto-electronic package includes a substrate, a cavity, mounting pads and transverse walls interspersed along the cavity, pads separated by transverse walls, and transverse walls being lower than cavity-defining walls; and LED dice mounted to the pads. In another embodiment, a system is disclosed for backlighting an LCD screen. The system includes an opto-electronic package having a substrate; LED dice mounted to the substrate; an encapsulant disposed over LED dice; and a light guide having an input portion to receive light provided by LED dice, the input portion in attachment to encapsulant, and an output portion configured to transmit light to LCD screen. In yet another embodiment, a method of manufacturing an opto-electronic package includes: fabricating a substrate; attaching LED dice to the substrate; electrically connecting each LED dice to an outer portion of the substrate; and disposing encapsulant over the LED dice.

Opto-electronic package, and methods and systems for making and using same

A light source having light emitting modules coupled to a flexible circuit carrier. The flexible circuit carrier includes a sheet of flexible material having electrically conducting traces connecting a circuit mounting area and a connector region. The light emitting modules are electrically connected to the circuit mounting area. In one embodiment, the light emitting modules are arranged in a linear array. The light source preferably includes a light pipe having a planar layer of transparent material, the light emitting modules being bonded to an edge of the planar layer. The light pipe is preferably attached to a printed circuit board and the connection region of the flexible circuit carrier is attached to the printed circuit board. The flexible circuit carrier can move heat from the light emitting modules to the printed circuit board as well as providing electrical connections.

Light source utilizing a flexible circuit carrier

A light source is disclosed. The light source has a light-emitting chip that includes an LED that generates light in an active region thereof. The LED emits a light signal in a forward direction, and infrared radiation generated in the active region is emitted in a side direction in the form of a first infrared signal. The first light signal is determined by a first drive signal coupled to the LED. The light source also includes an infrared detector positioned to collect a portion of the infrared signal. The infrared detector generates a heat signal indicative of the amount of infrared radiation detected. A controller generates the drive signal so as to maintain the heat signal at a first target value. In light sources having LEDs that emit in different spectral ranges, the infrared detectors can all detect heat in the same spectral range.
