Smart light emitting diode cluster and system
First Claim
1. A light emitting diode (LED) cluster, comprising:
- a base;
a plurality of LEDs located on said base;
a control circuit board located under said base; and
an outer case enclosing said base, said LEDs, and said control circuit board, and filled with suitable filler as effective insulator to protect said control circuit board and related connecting wires;
wherein an external input signal is transmitted to said plurality of LEDs through said base by conductive wires, and said control circuit board drives said plurality of LEDs by transmitting a resultant signal obtained from appropriate decision and process for received data through said conductive wires, said appropriate decision determining that said received data are transmitted or held.

Abstract
A smart light emitting diode cluster and system includes a central processing unit (CPU) and a plurality of LED cluster strings, each comprising a plurality of LED cluster connected in series. Each LED cluster includes an LED drive circuit and a plurality of LEDs. The CPU receives external input image signal, and then desired control signal and image data are sent to the LED cluster strings by appropriate processing. The control signal is used to switch the LEDs in the cluster to generate desired image and related color variation. The control signal and image data are transferred to the next LED cluster by the present LED drive circuit. In this manner, the control signal and image data are progressively transferred from the first to the last cluster so that a whole image with color variation can be displayed by all the LEDs in the system.
