Abstract:
1. A light-emitting diode (LED) package, comprising: first and second die mounted at an angle with respect to each other in a V-shape configuration on a substrate, each die including a semiconductor light-emitting diode having a PN junction that emits photons when voltage is applied, each die having a light-emitting area over the PN junction and being formed with the PN junction located over a reflective surface having a reflective area substantially equal to the light-emitting area, and each die defining a die optical axis along which a predominant amount of light is emitted in a direction normal to a surface of the light-emitting area; wherein the opening of the V-shape configuration defines an aperture, and the die are relatively configured and dimensioned so that their respective die optical axes are non-parallel with respect to each other and with respect to an aperture optical axis defined in a direction along which a predominant amount of emitted light is transmitted through the aperture.
