Abstract

See full text

A lighting element is provided, comprising: a substrate; a first conductive element on the substrate; a light-emitting element having first and second contacts on top and bottom surfaces, respectively; a transparent layer adjacent to the top surface; an affixing layer between the substrate and the transparent layer, affixing the transparent layer to the substrate; and a second conductive element beneath the transparent layer and proximate to the top surface, wherein the first and second contacts are electrically connected to the first and second conductive elements, respectively, the light-emitting element emits light in a range of wavelengths between 10 nm and 100,000 nm, the transparent and affixing layer's will not decrease light transmittance below 70%, and the first and second conductive elements are at least partially transparent to visible light, or are 300 μm or smaller in width, or are concealed by a design feature from a viewing direction.
