[0042] The following description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the present disclosure, its application, or uses. It should be understood that in all the figures, corresponding reference numerals represent the same or corresponding components and features.

[0043] Figure 1FIG. 0 shows a vehicle 10 according to a non - limiting example. The vehicle 10 extends along a longitudinal axis AxL and defines a forward direction F and a rearward direction R along the longitudinal axis AxL. The vehicle 10 includes a body 12 supported on a plurality of wheels 16. The body 12 partially defines a passenger compartment 20 in which a driver's seat 21 and a steering wheel 23 may be provided. One or more of the plurality of wheels 16 may be steered by the steering wheel 23. The body 12 also partially defines a prime mover compartment 14 that houses a prime mover. For example, in a hybrid configuration, the prime mover may be an engine, a motor, or both an engine and a motor. The body 12 may also include a front door 18 and a rear door 19. A front windshield 30 is provided in front of the passenger compartment 20. The front windshield 30 may include a first light - emitting structure 31. For example, the first light - emitting structure 31 may be, for example, a head - up display (HUD) that irradiates towards the passenger compartment 20, or may be other types of lighting that irradiate towards the passenger compartment 20. Alternatively, the first light - emitting structure 31 may be a type of lighting that irradiates away from the passenger compartment 20. The front windshield 30 may be an example of a vehicle window.

[0044] Figure 2 FIG. 4 shows a rear perspective view of the vehicle 10 according to a non - limiting example. As Figure 2 shown, the vehicle 10 may also include a rear window 40, a pair of front side windows 50, and a pair of rear side windows 60. The rear window 40 may include a second light - emitting structure 41. The second light - emitting structure 41 may be, for example, functional lighting, information display, or decorative display. The second light - emitting structure 41 may be used as, for example, a taillight, a brake light, a turn signal, or other types of rear - irradiating lights of the vehicle 10. The rear window 40 may be an example of a vehicle window.

[0045] Figure 3 FIG. 10 shows a side cross - sectional view of the front windshield 30 having the first light - emitting structure 31 according to one or more embodiments. The first light - emitting structure 31 forms an angle θf with the longitudinal axis AxL of the vehicle 10. At least a portion of the first light - emitting structure 31 may be curved such that the angle θf may vary according to the position within the first light - emitting structure 31. The first light - emitting structure 31 is configured to emit light 101f towards the passenger compartment 20 in the rearward direction R of the vehicle 10. The angle θf may be an example of a first angle θ.

[0046] Figure 4 FIG. 14 shows a side cross - sectional view of the rear window 40 having the second light - emitting structure 41 according to one or more embodiments. The second light - emitting structure 41 forms an angle θr with the longitudinal axis AxL of the vehicle 10. At least a portion of the second light - emitting structure 41 may be curved such that the angle θr may vary according to the position within the second light - emitting structure 41. The second light - emitting structure 41 is configured to emit rearward light 101r in the rearward direction R of the vehicle 10. The angle θr may be an example of a first angle θ.

[0047] Figure 5 FIG. 1 shows a schematic orthogonal view of a light-emitting assembly 100 according to one or more embodiments. The light-emitting assembly 100 may be part of a first light-emitting structure 31 or a second light-emitting structure 41. As part of the first light-emitting structure 31, the light-emitting assembly 100 may face the rearward direction R of the vehicle 10 (see Figure 1 and Figure 3 ). As part of the second light-emitting structure 41, the light-emitting assembly 100 may face the rearward direction R of the vehicle (see Figure 2 and Figure 4 ). Figure 6 FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of a light-emitting element taken at section 6-6 in Figure 5 . The light-emitting assembly 100 includes a substrate 130, a light-emitting element package 110 and an electrode 120 mounted on the substrate 130. A connector 125 may electrically connect the light-emitting element package 110 to the electrode 120. The electrode 120 may supply power to the light-emitting element package 110. The substrate 130 may be, for example, a thin-film transistor backplane. The thin-film transistor backplane may be mounted on a underlying substrate.

[0048] As shown in Figure 5 , one or more electrodes 120 may electrically connect a plurality of light-emitting element packages 110. The light-emitting element package 110 may include one or more light-emitting elements 119 (see Figure 8 ). The light-emitting element 119 may be, for example, a micro light-emitting diode (i.e., a micro-LED). The light-emitting element package 110 may be formed by a single light-emitting element 119. Each light-emitting element package 110 may include a body 111 having a first light-emitting surface 113 and a second light-emitting surface 114. Although Figure 6 shows a light-emitting element package 110 having a first light-emitting surface 113 and a second light-emitting surface 114, according to one or more embodiments, the light-emitting element package 110 may have only the first light-emitting surface 113. According to one or more embodiments, the light-emitting element 119 may be disposed on top of the light-emitting element package 110.

[0049] The electrode 120 may include a reflector 121 at least in a portion facing the light-emitting element package 110. That is, the reflector 121 may be formed on or coated on at least a portion of the electrode 120 facing the light-emitting element package 110. Alternatively, the reflector 121 may be formed along the entire length of the electrode 120. As a non-limiting example, the reflector 121 may be formed by depositing a metal layer on the electrode 120 or by removing a metal layer from the electrode 120.

[0050] The reflector 121 of the electrode 120 may include a reflective surface 123 facing the first light-emitting surface 113 of the light-emitting element package 110. The electrode 120 is connected to the first light-emitting surface 113 via a connector 125. The second light-emitting surface 114 of the light-emitting element package 110 faces away from the reflective surface 123.

[0051] As Figure 6 shown, the substrate 130 may include a mounting surface 131, on which the light-emitting element package 110 and the electrode 120 are mounted. The connector 125 may be mounted on or formed within the substrate 130. The light-emitting element package 110, the electrode 120, and / or the connector 125 may be directly or indirectly mounted on the mounting surface 131 of the substrate 130. The reflective surface 123 may be inclined with respect to the mounting surface 131 of the substrate 130 so as to form an acute angle α with the mounting surface 131. The acute angle α may be an example of a second angle.

[0052] Figure 7 A schematic cross-sectional view of a second light-emitting structure 41 of a light-emitting assembly 100 including one or more embodiments is shown. Although Figure 7 the light-emitting assembly 100 shown is configured as part of the second light-emitting structure 41 of the rear window 40 (see Figure 2 and Figure 4 ), this structure can be provided on the first light-emitting structure 31 of the front windshield 30 by rotating (i.e., flipping) the light-emitting assembly 100 (see Figure 1 and Figure 3 ). The light-emitting assembly 100 may be provided between a first glass layer 151 and a second glass layer 159. The light-emitting assembly 100 may be further embedded between one or more support layers 153, 155, 157, which provide hardness to prevent excessive deformation of components that may damage the light-emitting assembly 100.

[0053] As Figure 7 shown, the second light-emitting structure 41 forms an angle θr with the longitudinal axis AxL, and the reflective surface 123 of the reflector 121 forms an acute angle α with the mounting surface 131 of the substrate 130. According to one or more embodiments, the reflector 121 may be configured such that the acute angle α satisfies the equation α = 90° - θr / 2. According to one or more embodiments, if the light-emitting assembly 100 is part of the first light-emitting structure 31 of the front windshield 30 (see Figure 1 and Figure 3 ), then the reflector 121 may be configured such that the acute angle α satisfies the equation α = 90° - θf / 2. The light 101d emitted from the first light-emitting surface 113 of the light-emitting element package 110 may be reflected by the reflective surface 123 towards the rearward direction R, such that the light-emitting assembly 100 can emit rearward light 101r.

[0054] Figure 8 Shows a schematic orthogonal view of a light-emitting component 100 according to one or more embodiments. Figure 8 The light-emitting component 100 in may include a substrate 130, and a light-emitting element package 110 having a plurality of light-emitting elements 119 and electrodes 120 may be disposed on the substrate 130 similar to one or more of the above-described embodiments. The light-emitting component 100 may further include an additional electrode 220. The additional electrode 220 may extend in a direction different from that of the electrode 120. The additional electrode 220 may extend orthogonally to the electrode 120. A connector 125 may extend between the light-emitting element package 110 and the electrode 120, and an additional connector 225 may extend between the light-emitting element package 110 and the additional electrode 220.

[0055] Figure 8A Shows at Figure 8 A schematic cross-sectional view of the light-emitting component 100 taken at 8A-8A in, Figure 8B Shows at Figure 8 A schematic cross-sectional view of the light-emitting component 100 taken at 8B-8B in. The electrode 120 may include a reflector 121 as shown in Figure 8A , and / or the additional electrode 220 may include a reflector 221 as shown in Figure 8B . The electrode 120 may include a reflector 223a in a portion facing the light-emitting element package 110. The additional electrode 220 may include a reflector 223b in a portion facing the light-emitting element package 110. According to one or more embodiments, the reflector 221 may be formed on the additional electrode 220 rather than on the electrode 120. The electrode 120 may be an example of a first electrode extending in a first direction, and the reflector 121 may be an example of a first reflector. The additional electrode 220 may be an example of a second electrode extending in a second direction. The reflector 221 may be an example of a second reflector.

[0056] The substrate 130 may include an insulating layer 170 and a second electrode layer 218 for connecting to the electrode 120 below the insulating layer 170 of a part of the light-emitting component 100 shown in Figure 8A . The substrate 130 may include an insulating layer 170 and a first electrode layer 118 for connecting to the additional electrode 220 below the insulating layer 170 of a part of the light-emitting component 100 shown in Figure 8B .

[0057] Figure 9 And 10 Shows a schematic orthogonal and side cross-sectional view of the light-emitting component 100 according to one or more embodiments. Although Figure 9 And Figure 10 The light-emitting component 100 shown is configured as part of a second light-emitting structure 41 of a rear window 40 (see Figure 2 And Figure 4), but by rotating (i.e., flipping) the light-emitting component 100, this structure can be disposed on the first light-emitting structure 31 of the front windshield 30 (see Figure 1 and Figure 3 ). As Figure 9 and 10 shown, the light-emitting component 100 may include a collimator 160 optically coupled to the light-emitting element package 110. The collimator 160 may be configured to converge the light emitted by the light-emitting element package 110 coupled thereto and emit the converged light to the reflector 121. Accordingly, the collimator 160 can improve the optical efficiency of the light-emitting element package 110.

[0058] Figure 11 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a light-emitting component 100 according to one or more embodiments. Although Figure 11 the light-emitting component 100 shown is configured as part of the second light-emitting structure 41 of the rear window 40 (see Figure 2 and Figure 4 ), but this structure can be disposed on the first light-emitting structure 31 of the front windshield 30 by rotating (i.e., flipping) the light-emitting component 100 (see Figure 1 and Figure 3 ). As Figure 11 shown, the light-emitting component 100 may include an integrated circuit 175 integrated into the light-emitting element package 110. The integrated circuit 175 may replace the substrate 130. Although in one or more of the above embodiments, the thin-film transistor backplane of the substrate 130 may drive the light-emitting element package 110, Figure 11 the light-emitting component 100 shown may use the integrated circuit 175 to drive the light-emitting element package 110. The light-emitting element package 110 including the integrated circuit 175 may allow the light-emitting element package 110 to be mounted on an electrical bus directly printed on or in the first glass layer 151. Accordingly, the structure of the light-emitting component 100 can be simplified. In addition, the manufacturing of the light-emitting component 100 can be simplified.

[0059] Figure 12 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a light-emitting component 100 according to one or more embodiments. Although Figure 12 the light-emitting component 100 shown is configured as part of the second light-emitting structure 41 of the rear window 40 (see Figure 2 and Figure 4 ), but by rotating (i.e., flipping) the light-emitting component 100, this structure can be disposed on the first light-emitting structure 31 of the front windshield 30 (see Figure 1 and Figure 3 ). As described above, the front windshield 30 and / or the rear window 40 may include a curved portion. Accordingly, as Figure 12As shown, if the substrate 130 is disposed at the bent portion, the inclination of the substrate 130 with respect to the longitudinal axis AxL may be different at the positions where the light-emitting element packages 110 and the reflectors 121 are disposed on the substrate 130. According to one or more embodiments, the light-emitting assembly 100 may include reflectors 121 having different shapes such that the acute angle α formed between the reflecting surface 123 of the reflector 121 and the mounting surface 131 of the substrate 130 may be different for different reflectors 121. According to one or more embodiments, the reflector 121 may be configured such that if it is disposed on the rear window 40 (see Figure 2 , 4 and 7), then the acute angle α at each position satisfies the equation α = 90° - θr / 2; or if it is disposed on the front windshield 30 (see Figure 1 and 3 ), then it satisfies the equation α = 90° - θf / 2.

[0060] Figure 13 FIG. shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a light-emitting assembly 100 according to one or more embodiments. The substrate 130 may include an insulating layer 170 under the light-emitting element packages 110 and the reflectors 121 of the electrodes 120. The connector 125 may be embedded in the insulating layer 170 and extend between the light-emitting element packages 110 and the electrodes 120.

[0061] Figure 14 FIG. shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a light-emitting assembly 100 according to one or more embodiments. Although Figure 14 the light-emitting assembly 100 shown is configured as part of the second light-emitting structure 41 of the rear window 40 (see Figure 2 and Figure 4 ), by rotating (i.e., flipping) the light-emitting assembly 100, such a structure can be disposed on the first light-emitting structure 31 of the front windshield 30 (see Figure 1 and Figure 3 ). The light-emitting assembly 100 may include a substrate 130 having a light-emitting element package 110 and a reflective layer 180 disposed on its mounting surface 131. The light-emitting element package 110 has a light-emitting surface 114 configured to emit light toward the reflective surface 181 of the reflective layer 180. The reflective surface 181 is configured to reflect the light emitted from the light-emitting surface 114 along the rearward direction R of the vehicle 10 as rearward light 101r.

[0062] Figure 15 FIG. shows a schematic orthogonal view of a light-emitting assembly 100 according to one or more embodiments, Figure 15A FIG. shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the light-emitting assembly 100 taken at 15A-15A. Figure 15 and 15A the light-emitting assembly 100 shown is similar to Figures 5 - 6The light-emitting component shown, but further includes a color conversion material 191 covering the light-emitting element package 110 on the substrate 130. The color conversion material 191 may also cover at least a portion of the reflective surface 123 of the reflector 121. The color conversion material 191 can convert the color of light from the light-emitting element package 110. The reinforcement structure 190 can surround at least a portion of the color conversion material 191. The reinforcement element 190 can provide hardness to the light-emitting element package 110 and / or the color conversion material 191 to reduce or prevent deformation.

[0063] The light-emitting component 100 according to one or more embodiments can be integrated into the front windshield 30 or the rear window 40, and can eliminate the need for some lighting systems provided in the body 12 of the vehicle 10.

[0064] The light-emitting component 100 according to one or more embodiments includes a reflector 121 disposed on the electrode 120. The reflector 121 can redirect the light from the light-emitting element package 110 to a desired direction, thereby improving the light-emitting efficiency of the light-emitting component 100, and the reflector 121 disposed on the electrode 120 can avoid or minimize the additional space occupied by the reflector 121 in the light-emitting component 100. In addition, by increasing the light-emitting efficiency of the light-emitting component 100, the light-emitting element package 110 requires less power, so that the width of the electrode 120 can be reduced to achieve a similar brightness in a desired illumination area.

[0065] The terms "a" and "an" do not denote a limitation of quantity, but rather denote the presence of at least one of the referenced item. The term "or" means "and / or" unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. References throughout the specification to "one aspect" mean that a particular element (e.g., feature, structure, step, or property) described in connection with that aspect is included in at least one aspect described herein, and may or may not be present in other aspects. Additionally, it should be understood that the described elements can be combined in any suitable manner in the various aspects.

[0066] When an element such as a layer, film, region, or substrate is referred to as being "on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may also be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on" another element, no intervening elements are present.
