Patent ID: 7422918

Claim:
A method of making a support for light emitting diodes, the support comprising a rigid substrate comprising at least one bottom layer comprising a first material and a top layer comprising an electrically conductive second material, the support being adapted to position a plurality of light emitting diodes on at least two distinct support planes within a headlight apparatus for a motor vehicle, wherein the method comprises the steps of: (a) making sectors of the bottom layer more flexible, so as to render them able to deform without causing rupture of the top layer; (b) disposing the light emitting diodes on the top layer; and (c) disposing the light emitting diode support on the various support planes, with at least one change of level between two successive support planes being ensured by the presence of at least one flexible sector of the bottom layer at the location of the change of level, in order to render possible the deformation of the light emitting diode support.
