  • Patent number: 9903553
    Abstract: A light-guiding pillar used in a vehicle lamp includes a major structure and a light-guiding structure. The major structure has a light incident surface, a light outgoing surface, an upper surface, and a bottom surface. The upper surface and the bottom surface are disposed between the light incident surface and the light outgoing surface, in which the upper surface and the bottom surface are opposite to each other. The major structure is configured to guide a portion of a light beam entering the major structure through the light incident surface to the light caving surface. The light-guiding structure is disposed on the upper surface and configured to guide another portion of the light beam entering the major structure through the light incident surface from the upper surface to the bottom surface with passing through the bottom surface.

  • Patent number: 9895550
    Abstract: In a flexible LED pad for use in phototherapy treatment of humans or animals, the PCBs in the pad are securely linked together with electrical connectors and ribbon cables to prevent the connections from being broken as the flexible pad is bent or otherwise deformed during the treatment. In one embodiment, low-profile socket connectors are mounted to the PCBs and mate with plug connectors at the ends of the ribbon cables. For similar reasons, the LED pad may be connected to an LED control unit by means of an electrical connector (e.g. a USB socket) mounted to a PCB in the LED pad. The PCBs, on which the LEDs are mounted, are fitted into a downset in the flexible pad to prevent the LEDs from becoming misaligned with openings in the flexible pad.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a manufacturing method of a curved circuit board which includes the following steps. The first step is to provide a flexible substrate. The next step is to form a patterned catalyst layer on the flexible substrate. The next step is to deposit metal on the patterned catalyst layer by electroless plating to form a wiring substrate, wherein the wiring substrate includes a planar wiring structure. The last step is to place the wiring substrate into a mold having a molding surface with a three-dimensional design, and then execute a heating process to shape the planar wiring structure to a three-dimensional wiring structure, wherein the heated wiring substrate is laminated to the molding surface of the mold. The present invention further provides an electronic product using the curved circuit board.
