  • Publication number: 20210368630
    Abstract: A structure includes a first substrate film and a functional electronics assembly. The first substrate film comprises a recess defining a volume. The functional electronics assembly comprises at least a first substrate, at least one electronics component on the first substrate, and at least one connection portion. The functional electronics assembly is connected to the first substrate film via the at least one connection portion. The at least one electronics component is arranged at least partly into the volume. At least part of the at least one electronics component is embedded into a first material arranged into the recess.

  • Patent number: 10897196
    Abstract: An arrangement involving printed conductive traces includes at least a voltage source (Vsupply) and at least one target component, preferably a light-emitting component such as an LED. The arrangement is adapted to produce a current-controlled voltage (VOUT2, Vout) originating from the voltage source, the current-controlled voltage being coupled to the at least one target component, wherein said voltage is dependent on the current (IR,LED, ILED) that is being passed through the target component and said voltage is adaptable to a varying resistance of the arrangement and its features.

  • Patent number: 10849235
    Abstract: A method of manufacture of a structure includes obtaining or producing a functional electronics assembly including at least a first substrate, at least one electronics component on the first substrate, and at least one connection portion, providing the functional electronics assembly on a first substrate film, wherein the functional electronics assembly is connected to the first substrate film via the at least one connection portion, and providing first material to at least partly embed the at least one electronics component into the first material. The first substrate film is adapted to include a recess defining a volume, and the at least one electronics component is arranged at least partly in the volume.
