First, a printed conductive structure 100 and a light emitting module including the printed conductive structure 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described, with reference to fig. 1 to 4. Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a light emitting module according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a light emitting module according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 3 is a top view of a printed conductive structure of a light emitting module according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view of fig. 3 taken along section line 4-4'. As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the light emitting module of the first embodiment of the present invention includes a conductive structure 100, a light emitting element 200, a light guiding plate 300 and a pattern layer 400.
The printed conductive structure 100 includes a substrate 110, a first circuit pattern 120, a second circuit pattern 130, a third circuit pattern 140, a fourth circuit pattern 150, a first pad 160, a second pad 170 and a protective layer 180. The substrate 110 has a surface 111. The substrate 110 is, for example, a plate or a flexible sheet. The substrate 110 is made of plastic material, and may include Polyimide (PI), polyethylene terephthalate (Polyethylene Terephthalate, PET), polyethylene naphthalate (Polyethylene Naphthalate, PEN), polymethyl methacrylate (Polymethyl Methacrylate, PMMA), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polycycloolefin resin (Polycycloolefin resin), polycarbonate resin (Polycarbonate resin), polyurethane resin (Polyurethane resin) or cellulose triacetate (Triacetate Cellulose, TAC), for example.
The first circuit pattern 120 and the second circuit pattern 130 are located on the surface 111 of the substrate 110. The first circuit pattern 120 and the second circuit pattern 130 have a gap G therebetween, and a width W of the gap G is 0.1 millimeters (mm) to 1 millimeter (mm). The first circuit pattern 120 and the second circuit pattern 130 are formed by a first conductive ink printed on the surface 111. The first conductive ink is an oily ink. The first conductive ink includes, for example, a powder of gold, silver, copper, platinum, or other metal or alloy. The first conductive ink has a first resistivity of, for example, 10 -4 To 10 -6 Ohm-cm (Ω -cm).
The third circuit pattern 140 is located on the surface 111 of the substrate 110, and the third circuit pattern 140 directly connects the first circuit pattern 120 and the second circuit pattern 130. In detail, a portion of the third line pattern 140 is stacked on a side of the first line pattern 120 away from the substrate 110, a portion of the third line pattern 140 is stacked on a side of the second line pattern 130 away from the substrate 110, and another portion of the third line pattern 140 is located in the gap G between the first line pattern 120 and the second line pattern 130. The third circuit pattern 140 is formed by a second conductive ink printed on the surface 111 of the substrate 110. The second conductive ink is an oily ink. The second conductive ink includes, for example, carbon, graphene powder, or carbon nanotubes. The second conductive ink has a second resistivity, and the second resistivity is greater than the first resistivity. The second resistivity is, for example, 0.05 to 0.5 ohm-cm (Ω -cm).
In the first embodiment of the present invention, a part of the third line patterns 140 are stacked on the first line patterns 120, another part of the third line patterns 140 are stacked on the second line patterns 120, and another part of the third line patterns 140 are located in the gap G, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments of the present invention, the third line pattern may be entirely located in the gap and directly contact the first line pattern and the second line pattern at the same time.
The fourth line pattern 150 is located on the surface 111 of the substrate 110. The fourth line pattern 150 is formed of a first conductive ink printed on the surface 111. The first and second pads 160 and 170 are located on the surface 111 of the substrate 110. The first pad 160 is connected to the second circuit pattern 130, and the second pad 170 is connected to the fourth circuit pattern. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the first pads 160 and the second pads 170 are formed by the first conductive ink printed on the surface 111, so that the first circuit pattern 120, the second circuit pattern 130, the fourth circuit pattern 150, the first pads 160 and the second pads 170 are printed on the surface 111 of the substrate 110 in the same process step, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments of the present invention, the first and second pads may be formed of different conductive inks or conductive pastes, and thus may not be formed on the surface of the substrate along with the first, second and fourth line patterns. The first circuit pattern 120 and the fourth circuit pattern 150 further have a function of electrically connecting a power supply (not shown), so that power can be supplied to the light emitting element 200 through the first circuit pattern 120 and the fourth circuit pattern 150.
The protective layer 180 covers a portion of the surface of the substrate 110 and simultaneously covers the first, second, third and fourth line patterns 120, 130, 140 and 150. The material of the protective layer 180 includes, for example, a thermosetting resin or a thermoplastic resin, such as polyurethane, a vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copolymer, polymethacrylate, or epoxy resin. The protection of the protection layer 180 can prevent the circuit pattern on the printed conductive structure 100 from being damaged or deteriorated due to friction or contact with the adhesive during the manufacturing process of the light emitting module, thereby affecting the manufacturing yield of the circuit pattern.
The light emitting device 200 is disposed on the first pad 160 and the second pad 170 on the surface 111 of the substrate 110. The light emitting device 200 is electrically connected to the second circuit pattern 130 and the fourth circuit pattern 150 through the first pad 160 and the second pad 170, respectively. The light emitting element 200 is, for example, a light emitting diode. In the first embodiment of the invention, the light emitting device 200 is disposed on the first pad 160 and the second pad 170 on the surface 111 of the substrate 110, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments of the present invention, the light emitting device may also penetrate through the substrate to connect the first pad and the second pad.
The light guide plate 300 has a first surface 310, a second surface 320, and a receiving groove 311. The accommodating groove 311 is located on the first surface 310 of the light guiding plate 300. The light guide plate 300 is disposed on the surface 111 of the substrate 110 with the first surface 310 facing the substrate 110, such that the first circuit pattern 120, the second circuit pattern 130 and the third circuit pattern 140 are located between the substrate 110 and the light guide plate 300. The light emitting element 200 is located in the accommodating groove 311. The light guide plate 300 is adhered to the substrate 110 by an adhesive 330. The material of the adhesive 330 includes, for example, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), polyurethane acryl resin, polyester acryl resin, or the like.
In the first embodiment of the present invention, the first circuit pattern 120, the second circuit pattern 130 and the third circuit pattern 140 are located between the substrate 110 and the light guiding plate 300, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments of the present invention, the first circuit pattern, the second circuit pattern and the third circuit pattern may be located on a surface of the substrate away from the light guiding plate, and the light emitting element penetrates through the substrate to connect the first pad and the second pad. In the first embodiment of the invention, the light emitting element 200 is accommodated in the accommodating groove 311 of the first surface 310, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments of the present invention, the accommodating groove may be a through groove penetrating the first surface and the second surface of the light guiding plate, and the light emitting element is accommodated in the through groove.
The pattern layer 400 is disposed on the second surface 320 of the light guiding plate 300 away from the substrate 110. The pattern layer 400 has a light-transmitting pattern area 410, so that most of the light traveling in the light guide plate 300 can exit the light emitting module through the light-transmitting pattern area 410. The orthogonal projection of the light-transmitting pattern area 410 on the substrate 110 is offset from the orthogonal projection of the accommodating groove 311 on the substrate 110, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting device 200 is prevented from directly passing through the light-transmitting pattern area 410, and the brightness uniformity of the light-transmitting pattern area 410 is improved. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the pattern layer 400 is made of opaque material, and the transparent pattern region 410 is a hollowed-out area in the pattern layer 400, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments of the present invention, the pattern layer may be made of a low-transmittance material, and the light-transmittance pattern region may be made of a high-transmittance material.
When silver powder is included in the first conductive ink, the length of the first circuit pattern and the second circuit pattern formed by the silver powder are 5 centimeters (cm), the width is 1 millimeter (mm), the thickness is 11 micrometers (mum), the width of the gap G is 0.25 millimeter, carbon powder is included in the second conductive ink, and the thickness of the third circuit pattern is 7 micrometers, the resistance between the first circuit pattern and the second circuit pattern is 36 ohms. When the width of the gap G in the above condition was 0.35 mm, the resistance between the first line pattern and the second line pattern was 44 ohms. When the width of the gap G in the above condition was 0.45 mm, the resistance between the first line pattern and the second line pattern was 57 ohms. When the width of the gap G in the above condition was 0.55 mm, the resistance between the first line pattern and the second line pattern was 63 ohm.
The above measurement data demonstrate that the printed conductive structure 100 of the present invention can adjust the resistance value of the printed conductive structure without the need for a solder resistance. In this way, when the printed conductive structure 100 of the present invention is applied to a light emitting module, the voltage supplied to the light emitting element 200 can be adjusted to be the normal operating voltage of the light emitting element 200, so that the voltage entering the printed conductive structure is prevented from being higher than the normal operating voltage of the light emitting element 200, and the light emitting element 200 is prevented from being damaged due to the excessively high voltage.
The routing directions and shapes of the first, second and fourth circuit patterns 120, 130 and 150 in the first embodiment of the present invention are merely illustrative examples of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can adjust the present invention according to the spirit and actual requirements to obtain a suitable circuit layout.
Next, a light emitting module according to a second embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to fig. 9. Fig. 9 is a cross-sectional view of a printed conductive structure of a light emitting module according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The light emitting module of the second embodiment of the present invention is similar to the light emitting module of the first embodiment of the present invention, and the difference between the two is the lamination order of the first line pattern, the second line pattern and the third line pattern in the printed conductive structure.

In other words, at least a portion of the first circuit pattern and at least a portion of the second circuit pattern are stacked on a side of the third circuit pattern away from the substrate 110. The first circuit pattern 120 and the second circuit pattern 130 have a space therebetweenGap G, width W of gap G is 0.1 millimeters (mm) to 1 millimeter (mm). At least a portion of the third line pattern 140 is exposed in the gap G, and the third line pattern 140 directly connects the first line pattern 120 and the second line pattern 130. The first circuit pattern 120 and the second circuit pattern 130 are formed by a first conductive ink printed on the surface 111. The first conductive ink is an oily ink. The first conductive ink includes, for example, a powder of gold, silver, copper, platinum, or other metal or alloy. The first conductive ink has a first resistivity of, for example, 10 -4 To 10 -6 Ohm-cm (Ω -cm).
Next, a method for manufacturing a light emitting module according to a first embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to fig. 2 and fig. 5 to 8. Fig. 5 is a flowchart of a method for manufacturing a light emitting module according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 6 to 8 are schematic views of a manufacturing method of a printed conductive structure of a light emitting module according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The manufacturing method of the light emitting module of the first embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps (S100 to S800).
First, a first conductive ink is printed on a substrate to form a first conductive ink pattern, a second conductive ink pattern, and a fourth conductive ink pattern (S100).
In detail, the first conductive ink is printed on the surface of the substrate 110 by using a screen printing, a gravure printing, a relief printing or an inkjet printing method to obtain a first conductive ink pattern, a second conductive ink pattern and a fourth conductive ink pattern. The first conductive ink pattern and the second conductive ink pattern have a gap therebetween having a width of 0.1 mm to 1 mm. The substrate 110 is, for example, a plate or a flexible sheet. The substrate 110 is made of plastic material, and may include Polyimide (PI), polyethylene terephthalate (Polyethylene Terephthalate, PET), polyethylene naphthalate (Polyethylene Naphthalate, PEN), polymethyl methacrylate (Polymethyl Methacrylate, PMMA), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polycycloolefin resin (Polycycloolefin resin), polycarbonate resin (Polycarbonate resin), polyurethane resin (Polyurethane resin) or cellulose triacetate (Triacetate Cellulose, TAC), for example.

In some embodiments of the invention, when screen printing is used, a pattern of conductive ink having a length of 20 cm is printed on the surface of the substrate at a speed of every 1 to 5 seconds. In another embodiment of the invention, when screen printing is used, the printing speed is such that a 20 cm length of conductive ink pattern is printed on the surface of the substrate every 3.3 seconds.

The solvents in the first, second and fourth conductive ink patterns are removed by baking to form the first, second and fourth line patterns 120, 130 and 150. The width W of the gap G between the first and second line patterns 120 and 130 is 0.1 to 1 mm. When the baking temperature is too high or the baking time is too long and a non-heat-resistant substrate is used, the substrate is easily deformed by heat.
Next, a second conductive ink is printed on the substrate to form a third conductive ink pattern (S300).

In some embodiments of the invention, when screen printing is used, a pattern of conductive ink having a length of 20 cm is printed on the surface of the substrate at a speed of every 1 to 5 seconds. In another embodiment of the invention, when screen printing is used, the printing speed is such that a 20 cm length of conductive ink pattern is printed on the surface of the substrate every 3.3 seconds.

In another embodiment of the present invention, when ink jet printing is used, the printing speed is from 5 mm to 50 mm of the length of the conductive ink pattern printed per second on the surface of the substrate. In another embodiment of the invention, when ink jet printing is used, the printing speed is 1 cm length of conductive ink pattern per second printed on the surface of the substrate.
Next, the third conductive ink pattern is baked to form a third line pattern (S400).
In detail, the third conductive ink pattern is baked at a temperature of 80 to 150 degrees celsius for 15 to 45 minutes. The solvent in the third conductive ink pattern is removed by baking to form the third line pattern 140. The first and second line patterns 120 and 130 are connected through the third line pattern 140.
Next, a protective layer is formed on the substrate and covers the first, second, third and fourth line patterns (S500).

The conductive adhesive is, for example, polyester resin silver adhesive or solvent-free epoxy resin silver adhesive. In some embodiments of the present invention, the light emitting device may be fixed on the surface of the substrate by an adhesive, and then electrically connected to the first circuit pattern and the fourth circuit pattern by a conductive adhesive. In another embodiment of the present invention, the light emitting device may also penetrate through the substrate, and then the conductive adhesive is used to electrically connect the light emitting device to the first circuit pattern and the fourth circuit pattern.
Next, a light guide plate is disposed on the substrate (S700).
Specifically, the adhesive 330 is coated on the first surface 310 of the light guiding plate 300 having the accommodating groove 311, or the adhesive 330 is coated on the surface 111 of the substrate 110 where the circuit pattern and the light emitting device 200 are located. Then, the light guide plate 300 and the substrate 110 are bonded by the adhesive 330 such that the first, second, third and fourth line patterns 120, 130, 140 and 150 are located between the substrate 110 and the light guide plate 300, and the light emitting element 200 is located in the receiving groove 311. The light guide plate 300 is made of, for example, polyethylene terephthalate (Polyethylene Terephthalate, PET), polymethyl methacrylate (Polymethyl Methacrylate, PMMA), or Polycarbonate (Polycarbonate). The material of the adhesive 330 includes, for example, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), polyurethane acryl resin, or polyester acryl resin. In the present embodiment, the first line pattern 120, the second line pattern 130, the third line pattern 140 and the fourth line pattern 150 are located between the substrate 110 and the light guide plate 300, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments of the present invention, the first line pattern, the second line pattern, the third line pattern and the fourth line pattern are located on a surface of the substrate away from the light guiding plate.
Next, a pattern layer is disposed on a surface of the light guide plate away from the substrate (S800).
In detail, the pattern layer 400 having the light-transmitting pattern region 410 is formed on the second surface 320 of the light guide plate 300 by spraying, spin coating, screen printing, gravure printing, relief printing, or ink-jet printing. The orthogonal projection of the transparent pattern area 410 on the substrate 110 is offset from the orthogonal projection of the accommodating groove 311 on the substrate 110. The material of the pattern layer 400 is, for example, polyethylene terephthalate (Polyethylene Terephthalate, PET), polymethyl methacrylate (Polymethyl Methacrylate, PMMA), or Polycarbonate (Polycarbonate). In other embodiments of the present invention, the pattern layer may also be a pattern sticker.
Thus, the thin power supply circuit structure with the function of controlling the power supply voltage and the light emitting module comprising the thin power supply circuit structure can be manufactured according to the manufacturing steps without using a micro-etching process, a welding process or an electroplating process.
In the method for manufacturing the light emitting module according to the first embodiment of the present invention, after the conductive ink pattern is printed on the substrate, baking is performed to form a circuit pattern, and then another conductive ink pattern is printed on the substrate and baked to form another circuit pattern, but not limited thereto. In the method for manufacturing the light emitting module according to the other embodiment of the present invention, after all the conductive ink patterns are printed on the substrate, baking is performed once again to form the circuit pattern.
The light emitting module of the second embodiment of the present invention is similar to the light emitting module of the first embodiment of the present invention in structure, and the manufacturing method thereof is also similar to the manufacturing method of the first embodiment. The difference between the manufacturing methods of the light emitting module of the first embodiment and the second embodiment is a process sequence exchange, and will not be described herein.
In summary, according to the printed conductive structure, the light emitting module including the printed conductive structure and the manufacturing method thereof disclosed in the invention, the first circuit pattern and the second circuit pattern printed by the first conductive ink are directly connected through the third circuit pattern printed by the second conductive ink, and the second resistivity of the second conductive ink is greater than the first resistivity of the first conductive ink, so that the third circuit pattern can be used as a resistive element in the printed conductive structure. Thus, a thin power supply circuit structure with a function of controlling the power supply voltage can be obtained without using a photolithography process, a soldering process or an electroplating process.
Of course, the present invention is capable of other various embodiments and its several details are capable of modification and variation in light of the present invention, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
