Samsung patents LED module with taller power electrode for better connection
Samsung describes a light-emitting diode (LED) module design where the power electrode is physically taller than the signal electrodes. This structure helps connect the LED to the circuit board while keeping signal and power lines separate.
In the filing’s own words
A light emitting diode (LED) module includes: a substrate; a plurality of first electrodes arranged on a top surface of the substrate; a second electrode provided on the top surface of the substrate among the plurality of first electrodes; and an LED electrically connected to the plurality of first electrodes.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A light emitting diode (LED) module comprising: a substrate; a plurality of first electrodes arranged on a top surface of the substrate; a second electrode provided on the top surface of the substrate among the plurality of first electrodes; and an LED electrically connected to the plurality of first electrodes, wherein the second electrode comprises a protruding portion extending obliquely from the top surface of the substrate to a first height in a second area, wherein the first height of the protruding portion of the second electrode is higher than second heights of the plurality of first electrodes, wherein the substrate comprises a signal wiring layer comprising a lower signal electrode and a lower power electrode, wherein the plurality of first electrodes are electrically connected to the lower signal electrode, and wherein the second electrode is electrically connected to the lower power electrode.
