Edge-emitting LED light source

Edge-emitting LED light source, and method for fabricating an edge-emitting LED light source. The edge-emitting LED light source has a plurality of edge-emitting LEDs (202, 204, 206, 302, 304, 306, 402, 404, 406) arranged in close proximity to one another to define an array of edge-emitting LEDs (21...

Summary:Edge-emitting LED light source, and method for fabricating an edge-emitting LED light source. The edge-emitting LED light source has a plurality of edge-emitting LEDs (202, 204, 206, 302, 304, 306, 402, 404, 406) arranged in close proximity to one another to define an array of edge-emitting LEDs (210, 310, 410). Light beams (232, 234, 236) separately emitted by each of the plurality of edge-emitting LEDs in the array together form a single light beam (240, 340, 440, 540) that has a generally two-dimensional cross-sectional shape, for example, a square or other rectangular shape, and an increased overall light flux.
