Patent ID: 7942551

Claim:
A method for production of an LED array grid, the method comprising the steps of: arranging N electrically conducting wires (W 1 -W N ) in parallel, where N is an integer>1, thus creating an array of wires (W 1 -W N ), said array having a width D perpendicular to a length direction of the wires (W 1 -W N ), arranging LED components to the array of wires such that each LED component is electrically coupled to at least two wires, stretching the array of wires such that the width D increases and a gap is formed between adjacent wires, and arranging the stretched LED array grid onto a substrate, wherein the array of wires is formed by winding a wire in a helical fashion around an assembly drum and wherein a winding of the array of wires leaves the assembly drum after the step of arranging each LED component to the two wires, thereby creating a cylinder-shaped grid of wires and LED components.
