Abstract:
1. A flexible lighting element, comprising: a first flexible substrate; a first conductive element located on the first flexible substrate; a second conductive element located on the first flexible substrate; a first light-emitting element having a first positive contact and a first negative contact, the first positive and first negative contacts both being on a first surface of the first light-emitting element, the first light-emitting element being configured to emit light having a first narrow range of wavelengths between 10 nm and 100,000 nm; a first conductive connector located between the first conductive element and the first positive contact, the first conductive connector being configured to electrically connect the first conductive element to the first positive contact; a second conductive connector located between the second conductive element and the first negative contact, the second conductive connector being configured to electrically connect the second conductive element to the first negative contact; a phosphor layer formed on the second surface of the light-emitting element, the second surface of the first light-emitting element being on an opposite side of the first light-emitting element from the first surface of the first light-emitting element; a second flexible substrate formed on the phosphor layer such that the phosphor layer is located between the first light-emitting element and the second flexible substrate; and an affixing layer located between the first flexible substrate and the second flexible substrate, the affixing layer being configured to affix the second flexible substrate to the first flexible substrate, wherein the second flexible substrate is substantially transparent to the first narrow range of wavelengths, and the first and second conductive connectors each comprise either an epoxy dot or an applied metal pad.
