Abstract

An AC-driven LED assembly with discretely packaged LEDs being connected in an AC circuit and being sized preferably substantially 2.5 mm or less in length and width, and more preferably 2.0 mm or less; and being mounted to a substrate at a distance from the other of preferably approximately 3 mm or less, and more preferably 2.0 mm or less.

Claims

1. An AC-driven LED assembly comprising:

at least a first and a second LED each discretely packaged, the LEDs being connected in an AC circuit and each LED package being mounted to a substrate at a distance from the other of preferably approximately 3 mm or less, and more preferably 2.0 mm or less.

2. The AC-driven LED assembly according to claim 1 wherein the packaged LEDs each have a length of preferably approximately 2.5 mm or less, and more preferably 2.0 mm or less.

3. The AC-driven LED assembly according to claim 1 wherein the packaged LEDs each have a width of preferably approximately 2.5 mm or less, and more preferably 2.0 mm or less.

4. The AC-driven LED assembly according to claim 1 wherein the LED packages are arranged with respect to each other in a linear spatial relationship.

5. The AC-driven LED assembly according to claim 1 wherein the LED packages are arranged with respect to each other in an XY rectilinear spatial relationship.
