Design for Reliability of Solid State Lighting Products

Light-emitting diode (LED) and SSL products, including packages, arrays, and modules are in the initial adoption stage, and there are many reliability and design challenges facing the industry. This chapter discusses several key aspects focusing on the reliability and the life time prediction for LED SSL products. Upfront product design for reliability activities to enable reliable SSL products are studied from both the product construction, manufacturing and application point of view.
