Abstract
A light-emitting diode (LED) emitter module includes a substrate having a plurality of base layers of an electrically insulating material, a plurality of electrical contacts disposed on a top one of the base layer, and a plurality of electrical paths coupled to the electrical contacts, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of electrical paths is disposed between the base layers. The emitter module also includes two or more groups of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), each group having one or more LEDs, and each of the LEDs is coupled to an electrical contact. The electrical paths are configured for feeding separate electrical currents to the groups of LEDs. The emitter module also includes a memory device containing information associating a plurality of output light colors with a corresponding plurality of combinations of electrical currents, each combination specifying an electric current for each of the two or more groups of LEDs.
