Referring to diode printing ink example 6, the suspension of diode (100 – 100J) also can comprise the adhesive viscosities conditioning agent,, has any above-mentioned viscosity modifier of additional adhesion characteristics that is.This type of adhesive viscosities conditioning agent adheres to the first conductor (for example 310A) with diode (100 – 100J) make (for example printing) at equipment (300,300A, 300B) during, and also is provided for subsequently diode (100 – 100J) is remained on the structure (for example polymer) (when being dried or solidify) of the correct position in the equipment (300,300A, 300B).Although this type of adhesion is provided, this type of viscosity modifier also should have the ability of some wetting removals from the contact of diode (100-100J), for example end 125 and/or 127.This type of is bonding, viscosity and wetting removal characteristic are the reasons that methoxyl group cellulose or hydroxypropyl cellulose resin have used in a plurality of exemplary embodiments.Also can rule of thumb select other suitable viscosity modifiers.
The bells and whistles of viscosity modifier or adhesive viscosities conditioning agent also is useful and in the scope of the present disclosure.At first, this type of viscosity modifier should prevent that the diode (100-100J) that suspends from settling under the selection temperature.Secondly, this type of viscosity modifier should help directed diode (100-100J) and print diode (100-100J) in even mode during equipment (300,300A, 300B) is made.The 3rd, viscosity modifier also should play liner or in other words protect the effect of diode (100-100J) in printing process.

Also can be based on the solvent polarity selective solvent.In one exemplary embodiment, can select the first solvent such as alcohol as polarity or hydrophilic solvent, thereby be conducive to during equipment 300,300A, 300B are made to diode (100 – 100J) and other conductors (for example, 310) wetting removal, the while can be dissolved in by way of parenthesis in the viscosity modifier or make its solubilising.
Another useful properties of exemplary diode printing ink is illustrated by example 7.For this exemplary embodiment, when wetting during printing, diode printing ink is opaque, thereby helps multiple printing process such as chromatography.Yet when being dried or solidify, diode printing ink dry or that solidify is substantial transparent selecting under the wavelength, for example is clear to the emission that basically allows or do not disturb the visible light of diode (100-100J) generation.
Characterize the another kind of method of exemplary diode printing ink based on the size of diode (100-100J), shown in example 7, wherein any size of diode 100-100J is generally less than about 450 microns, and more specifically any size is less than about 200 microns, and more specifically any size is less than about 100 microns, and more specifically any size less than 50 microns.In the exemplary embodiment that illustrates, the width of diode 100-100J generally is approximately 15 to 40 microns, perhaps more specifically width is about 20 to 30 microns, and highly be about 10 to 15 microns, perhaps diameter is about 25 to 28 microns (measure the side to face but not summit to the limit) and highly be 10 to 15 microns.In the exemplary embodiment, do not comprise the metal level 120B that forms projection or raised structures diode 100 – 100J height (namely, the height that comprises the side 121 of GaN heterostructure) is about 5 to 15 microns, perhaps more specifically 7 to 12 microns, perhaps more specifically 8 to 11 microns, perhaps more specifically 9 to 10 microns, perhaps more specifically less than 10 to 30 microns, and the height that forms the metal level 120B of projection or raised structures generally is approximately 3 to 7 microns.

In another embodiment shown in Figure 94 A and 94B, the device 700 can comprise have can be luminous leading flank or the light-emitting component 830 of leading flank and dorsal surface.Light-emitting component 830 can be flexible or rigidity, and can have any suitable size.Plus end 832 can be arranged on light-emitting component 830 on first angle at the first edge 833.Plus end 832a can with light-emitting component 830 global formations, perhaps can be fixed to light-emitting component 830.Negative terminal 834a can be arranged on light-emitting component 830 on second angle at the first edge 833, and negative terminal 834a can with light-emitting component 830 global formations, perhaps can be fixed to light-emitting component 830.Identical plus end 832b and negative terminal 834b can be coupled to the relative angle at the second edge 835.Among one among plus end 832a, the 832b and negative terminal 834a, the 834b one can be coupled to element interface 836, and element interface 836 can comprise the power line 838 that is electrically coupled to power interface 792.Element interface 836 can be any shape or the configuration that can admit plus end 832a, 832b and negative terminal 834a, 832b.For example, element interface 836 can have roughly elongated shape, and it has the receiving channel 840 that extends along all or part of length of element interface 836.Receiving channel 840 can be suitable for admitting the first edge 833 of light-emitting component 830, so that the plus end 832a of light-emitting component 830 is electrically connected to the corresponding negative terminal that the negative terminal 834a of the plus end of corresponding element interface 836 and light-emitting component 830 is electrically connected to element interface 836.Therefore the combination of power from any normal power supplies such as wall outlet can be passed to light-emitting component 830 from power interface 792, thereby causes whole light-emitting component 830(or part light-emitting component 830) luminous.Functional interface 794 can be electrically coupled to element interface 836 and power interface 792, and functional interface 794 can comprise the interface for control light-emitting component 830 functions, for example mains switch, dimmer or any other suitable function.Functional interface 794 and power interface 792 global formations perhaps can be arranged on functional interface 794 on the element interface 836, shown in Figure 94 A.
Referring to Figure 94 B, light-emitting component 830 can be packaged into the volume 842 of light-emitting component 830, so that before assembling, can select the light-emitting component 830 of right quantity to produce the total length of expectation.For example, if each light-emitting component 830 is 12 inches long, but expect 24 inches length, can remove two light-emitting components 830 842 from rolling up.Single light-emitting component 830 can separate by for example perforated portion 844, and adjacent plus end 832a and negative terminal 834b(and contiguous negative terminal 834a and plus end 832b) can be along each perforated portion 844 separately.Yet, when terminal 832a, 832b, 834a, 834b do not separate along perforated portion 844, between adjacent light-emitting component 830, keep being electrically connected.
Terminal 832a, 832b, 834a, 834b can manually insert in any position on any limit of light-emitting component 830, but not aforesaid pre-connection terminal.For example, shown in Figure 94 C, main body 862 with substantially C-shape of a plurality of conductive members 864 can be around the expectation edge setting of light-emitting component 830, and compressible described main body 862 is so that the inside that conductive member 864 inserts light-emitting components 830, and inserted mode will describe in detail hereinafter.The first main body 862 can be plus end (for example, the main body 862 in Figure 94 C left side), and the second main body 862(is for example, the main body 862 on Figure 94 C right side) can be arranged on the light-emitting component 830, its direction substantially with the opposite direction of the first main body 862.Be applied to along with suitable plus end and negative terminal on each suitable angle of light-emitting component 830, can be with light-emitting component 830 insertion element interfaces 836 and luminous in the above described manner.Because terminal can be applied to desired locations, light-emitting component 830 manually can be cut into desired size from volume, described volume is similar at the volume 842 shown in Figure 94 B.
As mentioned above, luminous sheet material such as sidewall 703 can form deployable surface.More specifically, deployable surface is the surface that can be sprawled into the plane, and this plane is without distortion (that is, " stretching " or " compression ").On the contrary, deployable surface is to pass through the surface that conversion plane (that is, " fold ", " bending ", " coiling ", " cutting " and/or " gluing ") makes.On three dimensions, all extensible surfaces are ruled surfaces.If each point by the surface is in line from the teeth outwards, then this surface is straight burr.The most similar example is plane and the curved surface of cylinder or cone.Other examples are to have oval directrix, normal cone body, helicoid and the cone surface of the extensible smoothed curve of tangent line spatially.Ruled surface can be described all the time (at least partly) and be the set by the inswept point of mobile straight line.For example, cone is by keeping fixing with point on the line, moves another point and forms along circle simultaneously.
Figure 112 shows an exemplary embodiment of the bulb 1218 that comprises the photovoltaic circuit.Bulb 1218 can be taked the form of the normal cone body of brachymemma, and it forms by having the multilayer material that is arranged on a plurality of discrete light-emitting device on the multilayer material layer, as described in Figure 57.Basically the diode device that forms layering such as multilayer material and/or the discrete diode apparatus of formation as described in whole the specification.Particularly, bulb 1218 equipment 1228 that the equipment that is right after that is similar to the diode device shown in Figure 57 forms of can serving as reasons.Figure 113 shows the profile of equipment 1228.If equipment 1228 is formed by two parts, then each in them is basically identical with individual equipment shown in Figure 57, and they can engage so that the pedestal of each parts joins opposing face reflective or opaque material 1224 to.Alternatively, equipment 1226A and 1226B can form with forming device 1228 at the opposing face of single pedestal 305.Under any circumstance, the diode on each in equipment 1226A and 1226B thus arranged exposes in the opposite direction.
