Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A light module ( 1; 14 ), comprising a carrier ( 8, 10 ) for mounting at least one semiconductor source ( 5 ), in particular a light emitting diode, wherein: the carrier ( 8, 10 ) has a flexible printed circuit board ( 10 ), the flexible printed circuit board ( 10 ) is bonded face-to face to at least one base plate, ( 8 ) and the carrier ( 8, 10 ) can be bent along at least one predetermined bending line ( 3; 3 a - 3 e ), the base plate ( 8 ) can be bent along the at least one bending line, ( 3; 3 a - 3 e ), the base plate ( 8 ) has at least one cutout ( 9 ) along the bending line ( 3; 3 a - 3 e ) and the flexible printed circuit board ( 10 ) has at least one strip ( 11; 15 ) which crosses at least one of the cutouts ( 9 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A light module comprising: a plurality of semiconductor light sources; and an elongated carrier comprising: an elongated base plate capable of being bent along a plurality of bending lines, the bending lines being positioned symmetrically along a length of the elongated base plate on both sides of a longitudinal axis of the elongated base plate, the elongated base plate being shaped so as to form a plurality of tab-shaped regions, each tab-shaped re…
