1. Light-emitting diode array comprising:
- two light-emitting diodes which are connected in antiparallel with one another,wherein a first of said light-emitting diodes is bonded to a first connecting part such that the first of said light-emitting diodes is in direct electrical contact with the first connecting part and placed in contact with a second connecting part via a first wire bonding contact andwherein a second of said light-emitting diodes is bonded to the second connecting part such that the second of said light-emitting diodes is in direct electrical contact with the second connecting part and is placed in contact with the first connecting part by means of a second wire bonding contact; and
a device which is suitable for energizing the light-emitting diodes with current in alternating directions,wherein the two light-emitting diodes differ in terms of their electrical power drain such that the light-emitting diodes form a mutual ESD protection,wherein a luminescence-conversion material is provided which is suitable for at least partially converting the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation which is emitted by the first of said light-emitting, diodes,wherein the electromagnetic radiation of the first of said light-emitting diodes mixes with a wavelength-converted component of its radiation to form white light,wherein the first of said light-emitting diodes is suitable for emitting electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength between 420 nm and 470 nm, and in which the luminescence-conversion material is suitable for converting part of this radiation into electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength between 530 nm and 580 nm,wherein the light-emitting diodes are surrounded by a common sealing compound which contains the luminescence-conversion material, wherein the radiation emitted by the second of said light-emitting diodes passes through the sealing compound without being converted and the radiation emitted by the first of said light-emitting diodes is at least partially converted in terms of its wavelength by the luminescence-conversion material,wherein at least one of the light-emitting diodes has a light-emitting diode chip, wherein all light-emitting diode chips are of a thin-film design, wherein each light-emitting diode chip contains an epitaxially grown stack of layers which comprises at least one active zone in which electromagnetic radiation is generated and a carrier, to which the epitaxially grown stack of layers is applied, wherein the epitaxially grown stack of layers is free of a growth substrate and a mirror layer is arranged between said carrier and said epitaxially grown stack of layers.
