Development of an Efficient Signaling Lamp with LEDs Mounted on a Free Formed Surface

In keeping with recent trends in vehicle body design, there is an increasing requirement for signaling lamps to have a more slanted and bent shape. There are also growing expectations that light emitting diodes (LEDs) will replace incandescent bulbs in signaling lamps. LEDs, however, will bring a cost problem if they are to be mounted on conventional hard printed circuit bases. The authors have overcome this problem by developing pressure-weldable LEDs which can be attached to free formed surfaces without soldering. As a result it has become possible to design LED signaling lamps with a superb beam utilization.
