Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A 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 composed of a direct bandgap semiconductor material. When current flows through it, electrons and holes recombine at the PN junction, releasing photons, thereby generating light. These photons pass through a microlens array to enhance brightness and contrast, forming an image.

[0003] Currently, Micro LED modules often experience display failures caused by chip damage during manufacturing and end-use applications, which impairs the user's overall visual experience. Conventional solutions to these issues include manual repair and complete module replacement.

[0004] Manual repairs often rely on professional technicians using soldering techniques to replace damaged chips. This process not only requires a repair specialist to be present on-site, but is also time-consuming and requires specialized skills, making it difficult to master. On the other hand, directly replacing the entire module can incur even higher costs. To address this, we offer a hot-swappable MicroLED module. Utility Model Content

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

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

[0007] A hot-swappable MicroLED module comprises a PCB board; a male connector head, which is arranged on a 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 via the female connector head to complete an electrical connection with the PCB board. With this structural design, the chip of the MicroLED module can be hot-swapped. If a terminal encounters a chip problem, professional maintenance personnel are not required. On-site personnel only need to plug in and replace the problem chip to solve the problem. This can reduce maintenance costs, does not require professional personnel to operate, and has a low learning cost. Problems with the terminal can be quickly solved 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 assembled on the top of the connecting plate, and contact wires are provided on the sides of the inserting strips.

[0009] Preferably, the female connector includes an inserting plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the chip, and two inserting cavities are provided at the bottom of the inserting plate, and contact wires are provided inside the inserting cavities.

[0010] Preferably, the two inserts are integrally formed by connecting a 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, a rubber column is installed inside the socket. When installing the insert strip, a 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 socket, thereby restricting the connector female head, increasing the stability of the connection between the connector female head and the connector male head. At the same time, the rubber column can be squeezed and contacted with the socket, further increasing the stability of the two after insertion.

[0015] In summary, the present invention has 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 insertion strips, and the contact wires on the insertion strips will contact the contact wires in the cavity, thereby completing the electrical connection between the chip and the PCB board. When a single chip has an abnormality, the staff only needs to pull out the chip and replace it. Through this structural design, the chip of the MicroLED module can be hot-swapped. If the terminal encounters a chip problem, no professional maintenance personnel are required. On-site personnel only need to plug in and replace the problem chip to solve the problem, thereby reducing maintenance costs and eliminating the need for professional personnel to operate. The learning cost is low, and problems with the terminal can be quickly solved 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. At the same time, the rotating sleeve can be plugged into the socket, 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 socket, further increasing the stability of the two after plugging.
