Abstract:
A modular light emitting diode (LED) mounting configuration is provided including a light source module having a plurality of pre-packaged LEDs arranged in a serial array. The module includes a heat conductive body portion adapted to conduct heat generated by the LEDs to an adjacent heat sink. As a result, the LEDs are able to be operated with a higher current than normally allowed. Thus, brightness and performance of the LEDs is increased without decreasing the life expectancy of the LEDs. The LED modules can be used in a variety of illumination applications employing one or more modules.
Abstract:
The described embodiments relate generally to electronic devices and to three dimensional modules for increasing useable space on a circuit board associated therewith. In some embodiments, the modules can have a cuboid geometry, and can include a number of surfaces having embedded circuit traces configured to interconnect electronic components arranged on various surfaces of the module. One of the surfaces of module can include at least one communication interface configured to interconnect the circuit traces on the module to associated circuit paths on a circuit board to which the module is coupled. In some embodiments the module can be operative as a standoff between the circuit board and another component of the electronic device.

Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a FPCB substrate includes the following steps. First, a FPCB material including an insulation layer and an electrically conductive layer formed on the insulation layer is provided. The electrically conductive layer has a first surface and an opposite second surface. The insulation layer has a third surface and an opposite fourth surface. The third surface comes into contact with the second surface. Secondly, a through hole extends from the first surface to the fourth surface is formed. The through hole includes a metal hole in the electrically conductive layer and an insulation hole in the insulation layer. Thirdly, the insulation hole is enlarged to expose a portion of the electrically conductive layer around the metal hole. Finally, the exposed portion is bent to form a hook which passes through the enlarged insulation hole and protrudes out from the fourth surface of the insulation layer.
