Abstract
An integrated LED structure and a method of adjusting the emission spectrum of an integrated LED structure, for photobiological process is disclosed. The structure comprises a substrate; a plurality of optically isolated and electrically non-independent light emission areas integrated on the substrate; a light emitting semiconductor source of a first type mounted in the emission area(s); a light emitting semiconductor source of a second type mounted in the emission area(s); an electrical circuit layer for connecting the light emitting semiconductor sources in serial fashion for each emission area; and wavelength conversion materials. The emission areas are controlled with a common electrical drive current, and the emission output can be tuned by adjusting the common current value, to enable use of one luminaire for a large variety of biomass growing applications.
