Figure 2 An exploded diagram of a multi-light-emitting area surface light source according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the multi-light-emitting area surface light source provided by the present application includes an LED lamp 1, a reflector grille 2, a diffusion film 3, a shell 4, a circuit board 5 and a flexible board connector 6, wherein the LED lamp 1 and the flexible board connector 6 are fixedly mounted on the circuit board 5, and the circuit board 5 is connected to the external power supply through the flexible board connector 6. The reflector grille 2 is arranged on the circuit board 5, and includes a plurality of areas 21 thereon, and the plurality of areas 21 are separated from each other. Preferably, an LED lamp 1 is correspondingly installed at the geometric center of each area 21, and each LED lamp is independently controlled. The diffusion film 3 is installed on the reflector grille 2 and covers the LED lamp 1, so that the light emitted by the LED lamp 1 is reflected by the reflector grille 2 and scattered by the diffusion film 3 to become a more uniform light. The shell 4 is connected to the circuit board 5, so as to encapsulate the LED lamp 1, the reflector grille 2 and the diffusion film 3, and at the same time enable the diffusion film 3 to be tightly pressed on the reflector grille 2 to enhance its scattering effect on light. When choosing the model of LED lamp, it is necessary to choose a type with strong light intensity around and weak light intensity in the center, and its light intensity distribution needs to refer to Figure 3 The light intensity distribution diagram of the selected LED lamp of the multi-light-emitting area surface light source of one embodiment of the present application is shown. In addition, the selection of the size of the LED lamp is preferably less than or equal to 2mm×2mm LED lamp beads to minimize the size of a single pixel of the surface light source, making the display pixel smaller and more refined.

[0034] Furthermore, a plurality of positioning holes 52 are provided on the circuit board 5. The positioning holes 52 are small mechanical holes without electrical polarity. The positioning holes 52 are used to position and install the reflector grille 2.

The support columns 22 are perpendicular to the plane where the circuit board 5 is located, and the length of the support columns 22 is greater than the thickness of the circuit board 5 by 1mm-2mm. The plurality of support columns 22 are aligned with the positioning holes 52 on the circuit board 5 and inserted into the positioning holes 52. After the support columns 22 pass through the circuit board 5, the ends of the support columns 22 extend out of the circuit board 5 by a certain length. The ends of the support columns 22 are riveted and fixed to the circuit board 5 by hot stamping.

[0035] Further, the circuit board 5 is provided with a plurality of connection parts circumferentially along the plane where the circuit board 5 is located, and the connection parts are used to be matched and connected with the housing 4. Preferably, the connection parts are protrusions 511 and grooves 512 staggeredly arranged along each edge of the circuit board 5, and correspondingly, the housing 4 is provided with a clamping joint 411 and a clamping groove 412 staggeredly arranged along each edge of the circumferential side opposite to the circuit board 5, the protrusion 511 on the circuit board 5 is matched and connected with the clamping groove 412 on the housing 4, and the groove 512 on the circuit board 5 is matched and connected with the clamping joint 411 on the housing 4, so that the LED lamp 1 is confined in the assembly composed of the housing 1 and the circuit board 5. Preferably, the height of the housing 4 is designed to be the sum of the heights of the diffusion film 3 and the reflector grille 2, so that the top surface of the housing 4 is zero-fit with the diffusion film 3 and the reflector grille 2.

[0036] It should be noted that the assembly of the housing 4 and the circuit board 5 is completed by the protrusion 511 on the circuit board 5 and the card slot 412 on the housing 4, and the groove 512 on the circuit board 5 and the card joint 411 on the housing 4. This is only a preferred embodiment of the present application. This method can tightly confine the diffusion film 3 between the reflector grid 2 and the housing 4 to achieve the purpose of tight fixation. However, other types of connection methods are allowed by the present application as long as they can realize the assembly of various components of the multi-light-emitting area surface light source and make the diffusion film 3 fit tightly on the reflector grid 2.

[0037] Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of a multi-light-emitting area surface light source according to an embodiment of the present application, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the reflector grid 2 divides the entire outer frame into multiple areas 21 with equal areas according to a certain special pixel shape. Each area 21 is independent of each other. The independent area 21 contains an LED lamp 1. Preferably, the optical center of the LED lamp 1 coincides with the geometric center of the bottom surface shape of the independent area 21. The size of the area 21 needs to be larger than the size of the LED lamp 1 and leave enough wiring margin. The LED lamp 1 in each area 21 can be controlled independently. Figure 4 As shown, the optical center distance between two adjacent LED lamps 1 is L, the angle of the light emitted by the LED lamp 1 after passing through the diffusion film 3 is defined as the light output angle δ, and the height H of the reflector grille 2 and the distance L satisfy the following formula relationship: L / H=tan(δ / 2), thereby ensuring that the light emitted by the LED lamp 1 forms a better and uniform surface light source after being reflected by the reflector grille 2 and scattered by the diffusion film 3.

[0038] Preferably, the thickness of the diffusion film 3 is between 0.1 mm and 1 mm, and its constituent materials include but are not limited to PC (polycarbonate), PET (polybutadiene glycol ester) and PE (polyethylene plastic). The diffusion film 3 is welded to the upper surface of the reflector grid 2 by laser welding to achieve the effect of zero adhesion and zero fixation between the diffusion film 3 and the upper surface of the reflector grid 2. Preferably, the transmittance of the diffusion film 3 is between 85% and 96%. The diffusion film 3 is designed with extremely small optical patterns to diffuse the light emitted by the LED lamp 1 to achieve the effect of uniform light. It should be noted that a hard thin plastic sheet made of PC (polycarbonate) or PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) material mixed with a scattering agent (diffuser) can also replace the role of the diffusion film with an optical pattern. After passing through the diffusion film 3, the light will pass through the medium with different refractive indices, causing many refractions, reflections and scattering phenomena of the light, thereby correcting the light into a uniform surface light source to achieve the effect of optical diffusion.

[0039] Further, Figure 5The schematic diagram shows the relationship between the light-emitting angles of the multi-light-emitting area surface light source of an embodiment of the present application. Assume that the chamfer of the tiny pattern on the surface of the diffusion film 3 is defined as the diffusion film angle α, the light-emitting angle of the LED lamp 1 itself is defined as the light source angle β, and the angle of the light emitted by the LED lamp 1 after passing through the diffusion film 3 is defined as the light-emitting angle δ. The above three angles satisfy the following relationship: α 2 +β 2 =δ 2 In order to make the reflector grille 2 have better grille concealment when the LED lamp 1 is not turned on, that is, the outline of the reflector grille 2 cannot be seen by naked eyes, a shielding texture for shielding the outline of the reflector grille 2 can be provided on the surface of the diffusion film 3. The shielding texture includes printing the corresponding outline shape according to the cross-sectional shape of the reflector grille 2 with ink, and filling the outline shape with solid color. The color of the outline shape is the same as the color of the circuit board 5, so as to provide better shielding for the reflector grille 2.

[0040] The diffusion film provided in the present application adopts a thin and light micro-patterned diffusion film, which realizes light diffusion through micro-patterns. It does not require additional diffusers or internal light distribution mirrors mixed with diffuser materials, and can achieve better light uniformity effect. The transmittance of the diffusion film is much higher than that of the internal light distribution mirrors mixed with diffuser materials, and it makes more efficient use of light energy, saves energy and reduces emissions. Diffusion films designed with different patterns can achieve different light diffusion angles, which are suitable for different application scenarios.

[0041] Figure 6 The figure shows a common cathode circuit connection diagram of each LED lamp in a multi-light-emitting area surface light source according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 The common anode circuit connection diagram of each LED lamp in a multi-light-emitting area surface light source according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the circuit board 5 is provided with a soldering pad of the LED lamp 1 and a soldering pad of the soft board connector 6, and the LED lamp 1 and the soft board connector 6 are soldered on the circuit board 5. The anode and cathode of a single LED lamp 1 in each small light-emitting area 21 are respectively led out to each PIN of the soft board connector 6 through the routing designed on the circuit board 5. The electrical connection structure of n LED lamps 1 in n light-emitting areas can be adopted Figure 5 The common cathode circuit connection method shown is that all cathodes of n LED lamps are connected in parallel; you can also use Figure 6 The common anode circuit connection method shown is that all anodes of n LED lamps are connected in parallel, so as to realize independent control of each LED lamp. Further, the material of the circuit board 5 includes but is not limited to an aluminum substrate, an FR4 board (epoxy glass cloth laminate), and the color can be white, red, black, yellow, etc., designed according to actual needs.

[0042] Preferably, the wall thickness of the shell 4 is between 1 mm and 5 mm, and its constituent materials include but are not limited to PC (polycarbonate) or PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate). At the same time, according to the needs of its actual application scenario, the shell 4 of different colors can be selected, so that the lamp housing composed of the shell 4 has different colors, such as the tail lamp can be made of red, light pink, yellow or white transparent material, and the front lamp can be made of white or yellow transparent material.

[0043] Figure 8 A stereoscopic diagram of a reflector grid of a multi-light-emitting area surface light source according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, combined with Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, preferably, the reflector grid 2 evenly divides the entire surface light source area into n small light-emitting areas 21 of equal area, named S1, S2, S3, ..., Sn, and an LED lamp 1 is placed on the circuit board 5 at the bottom of each small light-emitting area 21, and the optical center position of the LED lamp 1 coincides with the geometric center of the shape of the area 21. It should be noted that the reflector grid 2 provided in the present application is preferably a regular hexagonal structure, and the multiple areas 21 distributed thereon are equilateral triangle structures, but it does not mean that the reflector grid 2 and the multiple areas 21 distributed thereon are limited to this structure. Other types of structures, such as triangles, squares, parallelograms, regular hexagons, etc., are all allowed by the present application, and technicians can set the appropriate reflector grid 2 and area 21 structure according to the actual effect required.

[0044] Preferably, the reflector grille 2 can be made of red, white, or black opaque PC material, and its side is covered with a metal coating. It should be noted that the end surface of the reflector grille 2 combined with the diffusion film 3 and the circuit board 5 is prohibited from being covered with a metal coating to maintain the raw material color of the reflector grille 2. On the one hand, it can prevent short circuits between the traces on the bottom circuit board 5; on the other hand, it cooperates with the diffusion film 3 to make the dividing line of the multiple light-emitting areas 21 unclear when the LED lamp 1 is not lit. Preferably, the metal coating is an aluminum layer, and the reflector grille 2 can be fully or partially aluminum-plated to enhance the reflection of the light of the LED lamp 1 in a single small light-emitting area 21. The inner sidewalls of each small light-emitting area 21 are all aluminum-plated, which helps to improve the reflection of the light of the LED lamp 1 in the area 21, enhance the brightness, and form a high contrast between the light-emitting area and the dark area of ​​the grid outline that is not lit.

The present application solves how to use traditional LED point light sources to economically and simply achieve beautiful surface light source effects, while enabling the surface light source to perform multi-region pixelated light-emitting area segmentation and independent control of each light-emitting area, so that it meets the interactive needs of users.
