Abstract

A light emitting diode array in accordance with the present invention includes a metal substrate, a dielectric layer disposed above the metal substrate, and a plurality of electrically conductive traces disposed on the dielectric layer. A plurality of vias pass through the dielectric layer. The light emitting diode array also includes a plurality of light emitting diodes, each of which is disposed above a corresponding one of said vias and each of which includes a first electrical contact and a second electrical contact electrically coupled to separate ones of the electrically conductive traces. Each of the vias contains a thermally conductive material in thermal contact with the metal substrate and in thermal contact with the corresponding light emitting diode.
