  • Patent number: 8587001
    Abstract: An LED light module free of jumper wires has a substrate and multiple LED chips. The substrate has a positive side circuit, a negative side circuit, multiple first chip connection portions and multiple second connection portions. The first and second chip connection portions are respectively connected to the positive and negative side circuits, and are juxtaposedly and alternately arranged on the substrate so that a width between each first chip connection portion and a corresponding second chip connection portion is smaller than a width of each LED chip. Each LED chip can be directly mounted on corresponding first and second chip connection portions to electrically connect to the positive and negative side circuits. Accordingly, jumper wires for connecting the LED chips and the positive and negative side circuits can be removed to avoid broken jumper wires occurring when the LED light module is shipped or assembled.

  • Patent number: 8553173
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display (LCD) is disclosed. The LCD comprises a front frame, a panel, a plastic frame and an optical film assembly. The panel comprises a display region and a non-display region, and the plastic frame and the front frame cooperate with each other to sandwich the non-display region of the panel therebetween. The plastic frame is formed with a V-groove(s) on a surface thereof that faces towards a light exiting surface of the optical film assembly. In this way, light rays traveling through the optical film assembly to the lower surface of the plastic frame are reflected by the V-groove(s) so as to be mostly concentrated onto the non-display region of the panel and then gradually attenuated to disappear. This can reduce the bright lines appearing in the display region of the panel and, consequently, improve the displaying effect of the whole LCD.
