Patent ID: 8021006

Claim:
A LED array flash for cameras applied to cameras with a light selector for control of lighting mode comprising a LED array and a controller; wherein the LED array has three LED light sources connected in parallel and disposed at certain distance from one another horizontally on the LED board, wherein the light LED source in the middle emits an elliptic distribution pattern and the LED sources on two sides emit a round distribution pattern so as to form an oblong distribution pattern; the LED light source comprises a LED die and a first order lens that focuses light from the LED die to form preset oblong distribution pattern, the first order lens being selected from the group of Fresnel lens and aspherical meniscus lens so as to emit a preset elliptic or round distribution pattern; the controller is a controller circuit that includes at least one constant current circuit and a pulse circuit while the controller circuit is connected with the parallel LED light sources of the LED array so as to form at least two lighting modes that are selected or switched by the light selector of the camera; the controller further comprising a timer circuit that cuts off pulse output from the pulse circuit to the LED array after a preset period of time; wherein when the constant current circuit of the controller is selected by the camera light selector, each LED light source of the LED array is provided with constant current so that the LED array is in low-brightness continuous lighting mode; wherein when the pulse circuit is selected by the camera light selector, each LED light source of the LED array is provided with pulse output so that the LED array is in high-brightness pulse lighting mode.
