Abstract:
1. An apparatus for use with a light emitting diode (LED) array member (LAM), wherein the LAM comprises a substrate member, a plurality of LED dice disposed on the substrate member, and an amount of luminescent material disposed over the LED dice, the apparatus comprising: electronic circuitry that monitors and supplies power to the LAM when the LAM is coupled to the apparatus; an interconnect structure with an inside lip of an opening, wherein the inside lip of the interconnect structure is attached to the LAM when the LAM is coupled to the apparatus; and an encapsulant that encases the interconnect structure and the electronic circuitry, wherein the interconnect structure is adapted to hold the LAM in thermal contact with a heat sink such that a bottom surface of the substrate member of the LAM is in thermal contact with the heat sink and such that light emitted from the plurality of LED dice passes in a direction away from the heat sink through the opening in the interconnect structure, and wherein the apparatus comprises no LED.
