A lighting device, such as a replacement lighting device, comprising a light source (LS), e.g. LEDs, for producing light along an optical axis (OA). A heat sink (HS) made of a material with an electrical resistivity being less than 0.01 Ωm, e.g. a metallic heat sink being a part of the housing, transports heat away from the light source (LS). A Radio Frequency (RF) communication circuit (CC) connected to an antenna (A) serves to enable RF signal communication, e.g. to control the device via a remote control. Metallic components, including the heat sink (HS), having an extension larger than 1/10 of a wavelength of the RF signal are arranged below a virtual plane (VP) drawn orthogonal to the optical axis (OA) and going through the antenna (A). Hereby a compact device can be obtained, and still a satisfying RF radiation pattern can be obtained. The antenna can be a wire antenna or a PCB antenna, e.g. a PIFA or a IFA type antenna. In a special embodiment the antenna is formed on a ring-shaped PCB with a central hole allowing passage of light from the light source. Preferably, the antenna is positioned at least 2 mm in front of the heat sink (HS).

The present invention relates to a method for producing a flexible substrate. According to the method of the present invention, a flexible substrate layer can be easily separated from a carrier substrate even without the need for laser or light irradiation so that a device can be prevented from deterioration of reliability and occurrence of defects caused by laser or light irradiation. In addition, according to the method of the present invention, a flexible substrate can be continuously produced in an easier manner based on a roll-to-roll process.

Various embodiments may relate to a lighting module, including a first printed circuit board, on which at least one light source is arranged, a covering element, which at least partially covers the first printed circuit board, and a second printed circuit board, on which at least one electronic component is arranged, wherein the second printed circuit board is fastened to the covering element and is electrically connected to the first printed circuit board.

An apparatus, manufacture and method of illumination support being a single monolithic substrate with light emitting diodes mounted on the external sides of the monolithic substrate. The necessary circuitry for the LEDs is embedded in one or more rigid or flexible electrical substrate that is affixed to one or more of the external sides of the monolithic substrate. The two terminal ends of the monolithic substrate are designed to fit into the lamp sockets of an existing or new light fixture without the use of end caps or end socket adapters, which provides structural support for the monolithic substrate.

A light-diffusing optical element with efficient coupling to light sources with high numerical aperture. The light-diffusing optical element includes a higher index core surrounded by a lower index cladding. The cladding includes scattering centers that scatter evanescent light entering the cladding from the core. The scattered light exits the element to provide broad-area illumination along the element. Scattering centers include dopants, nanoparticles and/or internal voids. The core may also include scattering centers. The core is glass and the cladding may be glass or a polymer. The element features high numerical aperture and high scattering efficiency.

Disclosed are various embodiments for a light bulb or other type of lighting fixture that integrates a light source and a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader. Embodiments of the disclosure can also forward identifiers corresponding to RFID tags detected by the RFID reader to another computing device that can facilitate identification of products or items associated with the RFID tags. RFID tags are energized with interrogator signals and/or an electromagnetic field emitted from the RFID reader and submit a response, which can be forwarded, or data extracted and transmitted, to another computing device.

The present invention is a wavelength conversion sheet, including a lamination of a phosphor layer using quantum dots, and a barrier film, with the barrier film being obtained by laminating a barrier layer on one surface of a polyethylene terephthalate film having an acid number smaller than about 25 inclusive.
