FIG. 3 , alighting apparatus 101 comprises a light-emittingdiode chip 110 exemplified inFIGS. 1 and 2 , and an alternating current (AC) power supply which is connected with the light-emittingdiode chip 110. TABLE 1 shows the examples of different combinations of the light spectrum emitted from the light-emitting units R1˜R4 and the corresponding wavelength conversion layer of each unit, 117-1 (for R1), 117-2 (for R2), 117-3 (for R3) and 117-4 (for R4); wherein the wavelength of the light emitted from R1˜R4 is a UV light with a wavelength ranging between 410˜430 nm or a blue light ranging between 440˜480 nm. Therefore the light-emittingdiode chip 110 can emit a white light mixed by different colors of lights, which are generated by the conversion made by the wavelength conversion layers 117-1˜4 respectively. -
TABLE 1 Examples of Combination of Different Wavelength Conversion Material R1~R4 Wavelength Conversion Material Wavelength 117-1 117-2 117-3 117-4 Example 1 410~430 nm Yellow Red Blue Green Example 2 410~430 nm Green Yellow Blue Green Example 3 410~430 nm Yellow Green Blue Green Example 4 410~430 nm Red Green Blue Green Example 5 440~480 nm Red Green — Green - Example 1 in TABLE 1 shows the material of the wavelength conversion layers 117-1-4 consisting of yellow, red, blue and green fluorescent powder respectively. During the positive half wave of the alternating current (AC) power source, the light-emitting unit R1 and the light-emitting unit R3 respectively emits a near UV light with wavelength approximately ranging between 410˜430 nm. The near UV light from the light-emitting unit R1 is converted by the wavelength conversion layer 117-1 with yellow fluorescent powder and radiating a yellow light with wavelength ranging between 570˜595 nm.

The near UV light from the light-emitting unit R4 is converted by the wavelength conversion layer 117-4 with green fluorescent powder and radiating a green light with wavelength ranging between 500˜560 nm. The red and green lights generated during the negative half wave are mixed with the yellow and blue lights generated during the positive half wave; such that the light-emitting
diode chip 110 emits a white light. For another embodiment in the present disclosure, the wavelength conversion layer can be formed optionally on the light-emitting units R1˜R4 as Example 5 in TABLE 1. Because the light-emittingdiode chip 110 radiates light by zones in accordance with the frequency of the alternating current (AC), and each of the wavelength conversion layers is only spread on the respective light-emitting unit, the loss of light intensity from unnecessary secondary conversion caused by different wavelength conversion layers can be reduced effectively. Wherein the frequency of the alternating current (AC) power is 60 Hz or its multiples. - To enhance the heat dissipation, the
growth substrate 111 of the light-emittingdiode chip 110 as shown inFIG. 2 can be removed and replaced by a supportingsubstrate 121 bonded with thefirst contact layer 112 via a non-singlecrystalline bonding layer 123 as the embodiment illustrated inFIG. 4 . Moreover, if the supportingsubstrate 121 is not transparent, ananti-reflection layer 122 can be formed between thefirst contact layer 112 and the non-singlecrystalline bonding layer 123 to avoid the light emitted from the light-emitting diode being absorbed by the supportingsubstrate 121. -

The connecting configuration to connect the light-emitting units R1 and R3 and light-emitting units R2 and R4 is an anti-parallel connection, so both light-emitting units R1 and R3 and light-emitting units R2 and R4 are connected to two terminals of apower supply 520 which can be an alternating current (AC) power source. Because the light-emittingdiode chip 510 radiates light by zones in accordance with the frequency of the alternating current (AC), and each wavelength conversion layer is only spread on the respective light-emitting unit, the loss of light intensity from unnecessary secondary conversion caused by different wavelength conversion layers can be reduced effectively. - The area of the light-emitting diode chip as described in all the embodiments in the present disclosure is smaller than 5 mm2 or 2 mm2 in order to be assembled in a package or formed on an electric circuit platform.
