Abstract
Solid-state lighting devices, and more particularly to a three-dimensional (3D) light-emitting diode (LED) device and a method of manufacture are disclosed. A submount of the LED can have several submount portions that are angled with respect to each other, and LED chips can be mounted on each submount portion, such that the LED chips of the device are angled at different angles with respect to each other. In an embodiment, the LED device can include a heatsink that is in contact with each of the submount portions to channel heat away from the LED chips. The LED chips can be mounted on the submount portions when all submount portions are laying flat, and then the submount portions can be pushed or punched into their respective angles.
