Patent ID: 8338841

Claim:
A lighting device comprising: one or more light strips, each light strip of the one or more light strips comprising: a base substrate comprising a first surface and a second surface, the second surface having a rounded shape, the base substrate being elongated along a longitudinal dimension of the light strip, where the longitudinal dimension of the light strip is greater than a transverse dimension of the light strip, and wherein the first surface comprises an indentation, the indentation being along the longitudinal dimension of the light strip; a cover substrate comprising a rounded surface and a cover surface, the cover substrate being elongated along the longitudinal dimension of the light strip, the cover surface of the cover substrate being in contact with the first surface of the base substrate, and the rounded surface of the cover substrate having a rounded shape; a plurality of non-packaged light emitting diode (LED) dies being disposed between the base substrate and the cover substrate in the indentation such that during operation of the lighting device a peak intensity of light emitted by the plurality of non-packaged LED dies is output through the rounded surface of the cover substrate; and a first set of conductors and a second set of conductors configured to provide power to the non-packaged LED dies, where the non-packaged LED dies are connected to the first set of conductors and the second set of conductors without wires, and the first set of conductors is formed on the first surface of the base substrate and the second set of conductors is formed on the cover surface of the cover substrate, wherein at least a first portion of the first set of conductors are physically connected to at least a first portion of the second set of conductors.
