Abstract:
An illumination apparatus comprises a plurality of LEDs aligned to an array of directional optical elements wherein the LEDs are substantially at the input aperture of respective optical elements. An electrode array is formed on the array of optical elements to provide at least a first electrical connection to the array of LED elements. Advantageously such an arrangement provides low cost and high efficiency from the directional LED array.

Claim (Index 21):
A method for manufacturing an illumination apparatus comprising:\n forming a first monolithic array of light-emitting elements; characterising the first monolithic array of light emitting elements to provide a pass distribution and a fail distribution of light emitting elements; selectively removing a plurality of passed light-emitting elements from the first monolithic array in a manner that preserves the relative spatial position of the selectively removed passed light-emitting elements; forming a non-monolithic array of light-emitting elements with the selectively removed passed light-emitting elements in a manner that preserves the relative spatial position of the selectively removed passed light-emitting elements; wherein the plurality of passed light-emitting elements that are selectively removed from the first monolithic array are selected such that, in at least one direction, for at least one pair of the selectively removed passed light-emitting elements in the at least one direction, for each respective pair there is at least one respective light-emitting element that is not selected that was positioned in the first monolithic array between the pair of passed selectively removed light-emitting elements in the at least one direction; selectively removing a second plurality of light-emitting elements from a monolithic array of light emitting elements wherein the second plurality of light-emitting elements are arranged with at least part of the fail distribution in a manner that preserves the relative spatial position of the selectively removed second plurality of light-emitting elements; and interspersing the second plurality of light-emitting elements with the first plurality of passed light-emitting elements to provide a corrected non-monolithic array of light emitting elements.
