Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a grouping or marking method of an electroluminescent diode assembly and an electroluminescent diode assembly. The present application claims the priority of the German Patent Application No. 10 2010 009 718.7, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. Electroluminescent diode components are often required to meet stringent requirements in terms of brightness when provided by the manufacturer. In L E D modules such as car headlights, the correct specifications need to be met due to legal provisions and regulations. [Prior Art] In the conventional grouping method of the electroluminescent diode assembly, all of the electroluminescent diode components are operated with a preset current intensity and the electroluminescent diode components are divided into different Brightness grouping (so-called box). This method is also known as the brightness-boxing method. In one application with a preset target brightness, the light-emitting diode wafer is selected only by the brightness group corresponding to the preset target brightness. In this case, different groups of electroluminescent diodes for luminance grouping cannot be used in this application. Especially in automotive or automotive electroluminescent diode assemblies, manufacturers often have to ensure that the preset specifications are met over many years. In this case, it may even be necessary to compensate for the higher light due to the improved efficiency of the electroluminescent diode wafer by mutual measures (for example, applying a partially absorbable layer). benefit. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 201133001 An object of the present invention is to provide a method of grouping or marking an electroluminescent diode assembly and an electroluminescent diode assembly, which ensures that the electroluminescent diode assembly emits a pre-operational Set the light of the target brightness. The above object is achieved by a grouping or marking method of an electroluminescent diode assembly and an electroluminescent diode assembly as described in the independent patent application. In the grouping or marking method of electroluminescent diode assemblies, a plurality of electroluminescent diode assemblies are prepared. The electroluminescent diode components can be LED wafers or laser diode chips with or without housing. Further, the electroluminescent diode component can also be an LED module or a laser module or a laser diode chip having a plurality of LED chips. In the above method, in order to achieve a predetermined target luminance Φ, a required current intensity of 1 须 is required for each of the electroluminescent diode components. Therefore, it is determined which current intensity is required to operate the electroluminescent diode assembly to achieve the preset target brightness. Then, in the above method, the electroluminescent diode components are grouped or marked in accordance with the measured rated current intensity 1 。. In an advantageous arrangement, the grouping of the electroluminescent diode components is carried out in the following manner: classifying the electroluminescent diode components into a plurality of groups each having a current intensity Ig for grouping, one of which The difference between the rated current intensity U of the electroluminescent diode component and the current intensity Ig of the grouping does not exceed a reliable tolerance AIg. Therefore, |iD_lg| $AIg. In the method described here, 'relative to the general brightness grouping, the electric 201133001 electroluminescent diode component is not divided by brightness grouping' but all the electroluminescent diode components are set to the target brightness To operate, the required current intensity must be measured 1 〇 and each electroluminescent diode component is divided into groups of approximately the same rated current intensity. When the user adjusts the current intensity Ig for the group, the preset target brightness Φ is achieved within a reliable tolerance. In this grouping method, the secondary product is less than the conventional grouping method because all of the electroluminescent diode components are at the desired target brightness except for the possibly defective electroluminescent diode assembly. Φ〇 operation. When the electroluminescent diode component is marked with the rated current intensity U, the electroluminescent diode component can be marked, for example, by a rated current intensity of 1 。. In a preferred arrangement, the electroluminescent diode assembly has a memory module and is characterized by a rated current intensity of 1 是: the required current intensity 1 针对 required for the target brightness Φ is stored in In the memory module. In this case, the rated current intensity 1 所需 required to achieve the target brightness Φ 〇 can advantageously be called out from the memory module in each of the electroluminescent diode assemblies to make the rated current intensity For example, it can be automatically adjusted by a drive circuit. Advantageously, other electrical or optical parameters of the electroluminescent diode component can also be measured and stored in the memory module. These parameters may in particular be the color, color position, brightness or forward voltage of the electroluminescent diode component. One or more other current intensities may also be stored in the memory model 201133001, which is required to achieve one or more other target brightnesses. This is particularly advantageous when the electroluminescent diode component is operated in different brightness levels. For example, the electroluminescent diode assembly can be an LED module for automotive headlamps that has different target brightness. In the case of a headlight, for example, different target brightnesses can be set for light, low beam or high beam during daytime travel. In the case of a tail illuminant, for example, different brightness can be set for the parking light, the rear light or the brake light. The measurement of the rated current intensity U required to achieve the target luminance Φα is preferably carried out in such a manner that the current intensity is continuously increased and the luminance is measured. This measurement can advantageously be done at a faster rate, for example, in a 25 millisecond period. In order to measure the brightness, it is preferred to use a photodiode. In an advantageous arrangement, after measuring the rated current intensity of 1 ,, other measurements are taken to mark the electroluminescent diode assembly at a rated current level of 1 。. For example, the rated current intensity can be set to 1 〇, and the spectrum of the radiation emitted by the electroluminescent diode assembly is measured by a spectrometer. Also, various electrical properties of the electroluminescent diode component can be measured, for example, forward voltage. In another arrangement, a control measurement is performed after the electroluminescent diode components are grouped and/or labeled, wherein the measurement of the rated current intensity required to achieve the predetermined target brightness is repeated and Method for detecting whether the electroluminescent diode component is assigned to the correct grouping current intensity Ig and/or the correct rated current intensity IQ is stored in the memory module of the electric 201133001 electroluminescent diode component . If it is determined that there is a deviation during the control measurement, the electroluminescent diode assembly must be rejected and/or re-executed. Or, in the control measurement, the required rated current intensity must be set to 1 〇 and the achieved brightness is compared with the target brightness φ0. When the measured brightness φ deviates from the target brightness Φ 超过 by a reliable tolerance, the electroluminescent diode assembly must be rejected. Preferably, the electroluminescent diode assembly of the present invention has at least one electroluminescent diode and a memory module, wherein when the predetermined target brightness Φ 储存 is stored in the memory module The required rated current strength is 1〇. Preferably, the electroluminescent diode assembly has a drive circuit for driving the light emitting diode with a rated current intensity U stored in the memory module. The advantage of this method is that a user only needs to connect the electroluminescent diode component to the voltage source, and the driving circuit is automatically driven by the rated current intensity required to achieve a predetermined brightness. The electroluminescent diode assembly. The at least one electroluminescent diode of the electroluminescent diode assembly can be an LED or a laser diode. In an advantageous arrangement, the electroluminescent diode assembly is an LED module having a plurality of LEDs. The LED module can in particular be a car headlight or a traffic signal. The present invention will be described in detail below based on Fig. 1 to Fig. 3. [Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing an embodiment of the grouping of the electroluminescent diode assembly of the present invention and/or the 201133001 or marking method. In the method, a plurality of electroluminescent diode assemblies are prepared, such as a light-emitting diode wafer or a laser diode wafer with or without a housing. The electroluminescent diode assembly can also be an LED module. A laser module having a plurality of LED chips or a plurality of laser diode chips. In the first step shown in FIG. 1, the rated current intensity required to achieve the preset target luminance Φα of the electroluminescent diode assembly is measured. The target luminance Φ 〇 is the same with the electroluminescence. The pre-determined usage of the diode assembly is relevant and can be known, inter alia, by statutory regulations or guidelines for automotive headlights or traffic lights. The rated current intensity I required to achieve a predetermined target brightness. A current slope measurement will be made in accordance with Figure 2. The current intensity I is continuously increased in accordance with time t for a predetermined measurement period (which may be, for example, 25 milliseconds). In particular, the current intensity I It can rise linearly during the measurement period. During the measurement period, the brightness Φ of the radiation emitted by the electroluminescent diode component must be measured. Since the current intensity continuously rises, the brightness Φ is also measured during the measurement period. Continuously rising. This brightness Φ is measured by a radiation-sensitive detector (preferably a photodiode). In particular, the actual size of the photocurrent (in lumens) can be used as the brightness Φ The minimum and maximum currents for current slope measurement shall be selected to achieve a preset target brightness Φ 一种 for one of the current periods of the measurement period. For each measurement, the desired target brightness Φο must be achieved. Electroluminescent diode assembly to measure current intensity U. 201133001 Referring again to Figure 1, other electrical or optical properties of each electroluminescent diode component can be measured in an optional second step. For example, it is preferred to drive the electroluminescent diode assembly by the accurate current source and the rated current intensity 1 已 measured in the first step, and the optical characteristics of the electroluminescent diode component are, for example, It is measured by a spectrometer. In this way, in particular, the color and/or color position can be determined. In addition, a plurality of electrical properties can be measured, for example, including the forward voltage generated when the rated current intensity IQ is generated. In a third step, each of the electroluminescent diode components is classified into a plurality of groups in a variant a) of the above method in accordance with the rated current intensity 1〇 determined in the first step. The grouping (also known as binning) is preferably achieved by assigning each electroluminescent diode component to a different grouping current Ig. The rated current intensity I of an electroluminescent diode component If the deviation from the grouping current Ig exceeds a predetermined tolerance, the electroluminescent diode component belongs to a group having a grouping current Ig. This classification can also be achieved according to other parameters. For example, different sets of different colors and/or different target brightnesses of the electroluminescent diode chips can be provided. In another variant b) of the method, each of the electroluminescent diode components has a respective The memory module is marked by the stylization of the memory module.
