  • Patent number: 8550662
    Abstract: The light source module provided by the present invention includes a base plate and a plurality of LED lights arranged on the base plate. These LED lights are distributed on the base plate in such manner that all of the light centers of the LED lights define together a triangle shape. An angle of 50-70 degree is defined between a LED light and two adjacent LED lights. The present invention has many advantages. For example, because the LED lights are distributed in a triangle arrangement, the dark regions are reduced effectively. Moreover, alternative dark and bright strips are eliminated. In addition, the base plates can be assembled quickly by means of the connective members.
