Patent ID: 8016471

Claim:
A light emitting diode (LED) device, comprising: a light emitting area that emits a majority of light of the light emitting diode device, the light emitting area comprising a light emitting direction and having a first dimension perpendicular to the light emitting direction, wherein the light emitting area has a first center; a cross-section substantially perpendicular to the light emitting direction, the cross section having a second dimension parallel to the first dimension, wherein the first dimension is substantially shorter than 70% of the second dimension, the cross-section has a second center, and the first center is below the second center; a base having a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, a first side surface, and a second side surface opposite to the first side surface, wherein each of the first surface and the second surface is perpendicular to the light emitting direction; a LED die disposed on the first surface of the base and having a first electrode and a second electrode; a first finger electrically connected to the first electrode; and a second finger separated from the first finger and electrically connected to the second electrode, wherein the first finger and the second finger respectively extend from the first surface of the base through the first and second side surfaces of the base onto the second surface of the base and are connected to both of the first surface of the base and the second surface of the base through the first and second side surfaces of the base.
