Claim Text:
1. An electronic device comprising: a light-emitting diode (LED) having first and second spaced-apart contacts; and a substrate having first and second conductive traces on a first surface thereof, the first and second conductive traces being separated on the substrate by a gap therebetween, the substrate being at least one of (i) pliant in response to force and resilient or (ii) permanently deformable in response to force, wherein (i) the first and second contacts are adhered to and in electrical contact with, respectively, the first and second conductive traces with an adhesive material without electrically bridging the traces or the contacts, (ii) stud bumps are not disposed between the contacts and traces, and (iii) the substrate comprises a local flexing or a local deformation for maintaining electrical contact between the contacts and traces during operation of the LED.
