Efficient LED array
DCFirst Claim
1. A light emitting diode (LED) apparatus comprising:
- a metal substrate having a reflective surface; and
a plurality of LED chips mounted directly to the reflective surface of the metal substrate creating an efficient thermal path and at least a portion of the LED chips being spaced apart from each other to expose regions of the reflective surface between the portion of the LED chips, the exposed regions reflecting light emitted from the portion of the LED chips, andan electrical path formed by connecting the LED chips in a chip to chip fashion.

Abstract
An efficient LED array. In an aspect, an LED apparatus includes a metal substrate having a reflective surface, and LED chips mounted directly to the reflective surface to allow for thermal dissipation, and wherein at least a portion of the LED chips are spaced apart from each other to allow light to reflect from a portion of the reflective surface that is located between the portion of the LED chips. In another aspect, a method includes configuring a metal substrate to have a reflective surface, and mounting a plurality of LED chips directly to the reflective surface of the metal substrate to allow for thermal dissipation, and wherein at least a portion of the LED chips are spaced apart from each other to allow light to reflect from a portion of the reflective surface that is located between the portion of the LED chips.
