Patent ID: 6848819

Claim:
A surface-mounted LED arrangement, comprising: a printed circuit board having a principal surface and a secondary surface, said printed circuit board comprising a plastic material, a plurality of LEDs arranged on said principal surface, a metallic layer provided on said secondary surface that is electrically insulated from said plurality of LEDs, a cooling member connected to said secondary surface, wherein said printed circuit board is secured to said cooling member with at least one of a thermally conductive paste, a thermally conductive adhesive and a thermally conductive film, and wherein said secondary surface is applied to a target surface that is at least one of a curved surface, a singly angled surface comprising at least two planes that are not co-planar, and a multiply angled surface of: a) said cooling member, b) a thermally conductive partial region of a device housing, or c) an automobile chassis, such that said plurality of LEDs are arranged in a spatial form determined by said target surface.
