- amounts of light-emitting elements connected in parallel in each of the light-emitting elements subunits are random, thus some numbers (such as 1, or 14) cannot be performed by the combinations, and it cannot completely provide the control of lightening one to the number of the whole light-emitting elements in series.
- the amounts of the light-emitting elements connected in parallel with each switches are set to be the powers of 2, thus it can satisfy any one number from 1 to N1, and the sum of the amounts of the light-emitting elements of each of the light-emitting element subunits is 2 n ⁇ 1, such that the combinations of the switches in the on state or in the off state can light light-emitting elements from 0 to N1.

That is, the amount of lighten light-emitting elements is subtracted by 4. If the fifth switch S5 is in the ON state simultaneously, the sixteen light-emitting elements connected in parallel with the fifth switch S5 are shorted.
- the five light-emitting element subunits are connected in series, thus it does not limit the first light-emitting element subunit L1 must be connected to the second light-emitting element subunit L2 in sequence, and then connected to L3, L4, L5 in sequence.
