Abstract

Abstract An improved light emitting diode display includes a printed circuit board, a reflector and one or more LED chips. The printed circuit board serves as a base to fix the LED chips and the reflector has an appropriate thickness, contains one or more bowl-like reflective surfaces each with a corresponding passing hole located at such position as close to the bowl-like reflective surface as possible. The bowl-like reflective surface are just big enough to hold one LED chip, with the LED electrode connecting wire extending out of the bowl-like reflective surface and passing through the passing hole to be fixed to the printed circuit board. The small size of the reflective surface permits increased convergency and intensity of the reflective light emitted by the LED chips.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 83 words
An improved light emitting diode display, comprising: a printed circuit board; an LED chip fixed on the printed circuit board; a reflector fixed on the printed circuit board; a bowl-shaped reflective surface in the reflector which surrounds the LED chip fixed to the printed circuit board; an electrode connecting wire extending from a top portion of the LED chip to outside the bowl-shaped reflective surface, and back through the reflector to the printed circuit board, to which the electrode connecting wire is fixed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 83 words
An improved light emitting diode display, comprising: a printed circuit board; an LED chip fixed on the printed circuit board; a reflector fixed on the printed circuit board; a bowl-shaped reflective surface in the reflector which surrounds the LED chip fixed to the printed circuit board; an electrode connecting wire extending from a top portion of the LED chip to outside the bowl-shaped reflective surface, and back through the reflector to the printed circuit board, to which the electrode connecting wire is fixed.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 48 words
An improved light emitting diode display as claimed in claim 1, wherein said reflector comprises a passing hole close to the bowl-shaped reflective surface, said electrode connecting wire passing from the top portion of the LED chip into and through the passing hole to the printed circuit board.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 27 words
An improved light emitting diode display as claimed in claim 1, wherein said reflector contains a plurality of said bowl-shaped reflective surfaces, each surrounding an LED chip.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 48 words
An improved light emitting diode display as claimed in claim 1, wherein said reflector forms a matrix, of bowl-shaped reflective surfaces said electrode connecting wire passing from the top portion of the LED chip through opening in the matrix of bowl-shaped reflective surfaces to the printed circuit board.
