Abstract:
1. An electronic device comprising: 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; a light-emitting diode (LED) having first and second distinct electrical contacts on a first LED surface thereof, the first and second contacts being attached and electrically coupled to, respectively, the first and second conductive traces; and a thermal pad, wherein (i) at least a portion of the thermal pad is disposed within the gap between the first and second conductive traces, (ii) at least a portion of the thermal pad is disposed between the first surface of the substrate and the LED, (iii) the thermal pad is electrically isolated from at least one of the first or second electrical contacts, (iv) the thermal pad thermally couples the LED to the substrate without electrically coupling the LED to the substrate, (v) the thermal pad has a thermal conductivity greater than 1 W/(m·K), and (vi) the thermal pad comprises one or more electrically conductive materials.
