Abstract
A luminous structure includes at least one light-emitting diode emitting radiation within the ultraviolet or the visible spectrum, a substantially planar glass element having main faces and an edge around a periphery of the main faces. The glass element includes a hole housing the diode, and a metallic element connected to the diode and coupled with said glass element for removing heat. The metallic element is chosen from an electrical connection element or a holding element for keeping the diode in said hole. The invention also relates to the manufacture of this luminous structure and to its applications.
