  • Patent number: 9599767
    Abstract: A light emitting assembly, a backlight module having the light emitting assembly, and a liquid crystal display (LCD) apparatus having the backlight module are provided. The light emitting assembly includes a rigid circuit board, a plurality of light emitting diode (LED) devices, and a flexible circuit board. The rigid circuit board has a plurality of external circuits isolated from one another. The LED devices are disposed on the rigid circuit board, and each of the external circuits is connected to a corresponding one of the LED devices. The flexible circuit board has a plurality of connecting lines, and each of the connecting lines is connected to at least two of the external circuits, so as to serially connect the LED devices that are connected to the external circuits.

  • Patent number: 8746925
    Abstract: A circuit board circuit apparatus and a light source apparatus including a substrate, a circuit layer, and at least one electronic component are disclosed. The circuit layer is formed on a surface of the substrate. The circuit layer includes a first circuit and a second circuit which are coplanar-disposed. The at least one electronic component is disposed on the circuit layer and connected with the circuit layer. Each electronic component has a first contact and a second contact. At least a part of the second circuit is disposed between the at least one electronic component and the first circuit. The at least one electronic component crosses over the second circuit, so that the second circuit penetrates through the bottom of the electronic component between the first contact and the second contact.
