Heat Pipe Integration Strategies for LED Applications
Dr. Richard Bonner, Anqi (Angie) Fan, Daniel Pounds and Dr. Ehsan Yakhshi-Tafti; Advanced Cooling Technologies, Inc. INTRODUCTION In light-emitting diodes (LEDs), 70 percent to 80 percent of the applied electrical power is converted to waste heat. If this thermal energy is not properly dissipated, the resulting high operating temperatures lead to reduced brightness, shift … [Read more...]
