Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and more specifically, to a MicroLED module supporting hot plugging. Background Art

[0002] Micro LED module is a display module manufactured using Micro LED technology. Micro LED, or micro light-emitting diode, is a new type of self-luminous display technology that uses micron-sized (less than 100 microns) inorganic LEDs as pixels, each of which can emit light independently; the technical principle of the Micro LED module is based on the self-luminous properties of LEDs. Each Micro LED pixel is a semiconductor device made of direct bandgap semiconductor materials. When current passes through, electrons and holes recombine at the PN junction, releasing photons to generate light. These photons pass through a microlens array to increase brightness and contrast and form an image.

[0003] Currently, Micro LED modules often face display failures caused by chip damage during manufacturing and terminal application, which damages the overall visual experience of users during use. For such problems, conventional solutions include manual repair and overall module replacement.

[0004] Manual repair often relies on professional technicians to use soldering technology to replace damaged chips. This process not only requires maintenance specialists to be on site, but also comes with a high time cost. It also requires maintenance personnel to have certain professional skills, which is difficult to learn and master. On the other hand, if you choose to directly replace the entire module, it means that you will incur a higher economic cost. Based on this, we provide a MicroLED module that supports hot swapping. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the problems raised in the above background technology, the present invention provides a MicroLED module supporting hot plugging.

[0006] The present invention provides a hot-swappable MicroLED module that adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A MicroLED module supporting hot plugging comprises a PCB board; a male connector head, which is arranged on the side of the PCB board; and a chip, wherein a female connector head is arranged on the side of the chip; the chip is plugged into the male connector head through the female connector head to complete the electrical connection with the PCB board. Through this structural design, the chip of the MicroLED module can be hot plugged. If a terminal encounters a chip problem, no professional maintenance personnel are required. The problem can be solved by on-site personnel plugging and replacing the problem chip, thereby reducing the maintenance cost, and no professional personnel are required to operate, so the learning cost is low. If a problem occurs in the terminal, it can be solved quickly with less time consumption.

[0008] Preferably, the male connector includes a connecting plate fixedly connected to the side of the PCB board, a pair of inserting strips are mounted on the top of the connecting plate, and contact wires are arranged on the sides of the inserting strips.

[0009] Preferably, the connector female head comprises an inserting plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the chip, the bottom of the inserting plate is provided with two inserting cavities, and contact wires are arranged inside the inserting cavities.

[0010] Preferably, the two inserts are integrally formed by a connecting plate.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting plate is assembled on the top of the PCB board through fastener threads.

[0012] Preferably, the fastener comprises a screw rod, a rotating sleeve is fixedly connected to the top of the screw rod, and a cross groove is provided inside the rotating sleeve.

[0013] Preferably, a socket is provided at the bottom of the female connector.

[0014] Preferably, the interior of the jack is equipped with a rubber column. When installing the insert strip, the screw can be passed through the connecting plate and threadedly connected to the PCB board 1, thereby completing the assembly of the connector male head on the PCB board. At the same time, the rotating sleeve can be plugged into the jack, thereby restricting the connector female head, increasing the stability of the plugging of the connector female head and the connector male head. At the same time, the rubber column can be squeezed and contacted with the jack, further increasing the stability of the two after insertion.

[0015] In summary, the present invention includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0016] 1. By plugging the female connector into the male connector, the two cavities will be plugged into the corresponding plug strips, and the contact wires on the plug strips will contact the contact wires in the cavities, thereby completing the electrical connection between the chip and the PCB board. When a single chip is abnormal, the staff only needs to pull out the chip for replacement. Through this structural design, the chip of the MicroLED module can be hot-swapped. When the terminal encounters a chip problem, no professional maintenance personnel are required. The problem can be solved by on-site personnel by plugging and replacing the problem chip, thereby reducing the maintenance cost, and no professional personnel are required to operate, the learning cost is low, and problems with the terminal can be solved quickly with less time consumption.

[0017] 2. By setting fasteners, when installing the insert strip, the screw can be passed through the connecting plate and threadedly connected to the PCB board 1, thereby completing the assembly of the connector male head on the PCB board, and the rotating sleeve can be plugged into the socket, thereby restricting the connector female head, increasing the stability of the plug-in connection between the connector female head and the connector male head, and at the same time, the rubber column can be squeezed and contacted with the socket, further increasing the stability of the two after insertion.
