  • Patent number: 10991666
    Abstract: A location displacement of an electrode of a device relative to an electrode pad of a semiconductor element is detected based on a conduction state between the electrode pad of the semiconductor element and the electrode of the device. The electrode pad of the semiconductor element is segmented into multiple portions and a first pad through a fourth pad uniformly arranged. A location displacement detector determines that no location displacement has occurred when the electrode pad of the semiconductor element is conductive to the electrode of the device, and determines that a location displacement has occurred when the electrode pad of the semiconductor element is non-conductive to the electrode of the device.

  • Patent number: 10797032
    Abstract: In a light-emitting element module, at least two or more first electrodes of a first substrate that includes a circuit element are joined to at least two or more light-emitting elements. The first substrate includes a first wiring line to an n-th wiring line (n is an integer of 2 or more) that are formed into layers in order from the at least two or more light-emitting elements in a thickness direction of the first substrate. The first wiring line that is located in one of the layers of the first substrate nearest to the at least two or more light-emitting elements is formed at least in an interelectrode region between the adjacent first electrodes of the first substrate in a plan view.
