Abstract
A lighting engine, system, and method of fabrication are described. The system includes a chassis with a ridge extending from a bottom that defines inner and outer cavities. A flexible printed circuit (FPC) is disposed in contact with a wall of the inner and outer cavities and on the ridge top and is connected to wiring retained within bosses in the outer cavity. LEDs are mounted on the FPC to emit light toward a center of the cavity. A light guide disposed has an edge that opposes the LEDs and receives light emitted by the LEDs. The FPC has a polyimide insulator coupled with a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA), a copper layer on the polyimide insulator, and a high-reflectivity white coverlay on the copper layer. Other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
