Patent ID: 7205170

Claim:
Process for production of light-conducting LED elements from a material, flowable prior to final solidification, by injection into a mold, the individual LED element including at least one light-emitting chip and at least two wire electrodes electrically connected to the chip, and a bottom region comprising the steps of: providing a mold adapted for insertion of at least one individual LED element with two electrodes, which upon mold closing includes at least one opening providing for evacuation; wherein the mold, after insertion of the individual LED and closing, is evacuated by way of said at least one opening, said opening being arranged in a bottom region of the LED in a place between electrodes; and injecting a jet of a flowable material into the mold between the bottom region and the chip at least approximately parallel to the chip plane and at least approximately perpendicular to a plane formed by the two electrodes, wherein a centerline of the jet passes between two electrodes.
