Abstract
Light-emitting diode (LED) devices and, more particularly, frequency-controlled LED devices and related methods are disclosed. LED devices include frequency-controlled circuitry that controls changes to electrical activation of one or more LED chips based on changes to input signal frequencies. Input signals are provided in a pulsed manner and the frequency-controlled circuitry controls how long one or more LED chips are electrically activated during each pulse. In certain aspects, the frequency-controlled circuitry delays current flow through one or more LED chips according to a time delay. By adjusting the frequency of the input signal, the amount of time the one or more LED chips are electrically activated during each pulse is adjustable. Corresponding LED packages include LED chips and integrated frequency-controlled circuitry so that separate control for LED chips is provided without requiring separate input signals.
