Patent ID: 10865947

Abstract:
A filament structure, a lighting device with filament structures, a method for manufacturing a lighting device and a method for manufacturing a filament structure are disclosed. In an embodiment, a filament structure includes at least two filament elements, each of the at least two filament elements comprising a leadframe element having a first end region and a second end region and a plurality of light-emitting diodes arranged on the leadframe element, at least one connecting element connecting the first end region of one of the at least two filament elements to the first end region of another of the at least two filament elements so that the at least two filament elements are connected in series and at least one further filament element including a leadframe element comprising a first end region and a second end region and a plurality of light-emitting diodes, wherein the leadframe element of the further filament element is a part of an one-piece leadframe, wherein the first end region of the leadframe element of the further filament element is connected via the connecting element to the first end regions of the at least two filament elements and wherein the connecting element is shaped and/or bendable such that each of the filament elements of the filament structure extends along a lateral surface of an imaginary cone or pyramid.
