Abstract
A light source and method for making the same are disclosed. The light source includes a plurality of surface mount LEDs that are bonded to a mounting substrate by a layer of asymmetric conductor. Each LED has surface mount contacts on a first surface thereof and emits light from a second surface thereof that is opposite the first surface. The mounting substrate includes a top surface having a plurality of connection traces. Each connection trace includes an n-trace positioned to underlie a corresponding one of the n-contacts and a p-trace positioned to underlie a corresponding one of the p-contacts, the p-trace having an area greater than the p-contact. The layer of asymmetric conductor is sandwiched between the surface mount contacts and the connection traces, and can optionally extend into the spaces between the LEDs to provide a scattering medium for redirecting light leaving the sides of the LEDs.
