[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of embodiments of this application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design solutions. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains. The terminology used in this application's specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. It should be understood that "and / or" in this application is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, and B alone. "At least one" means one or more. "More than one" means two or more. For example, at least one of a, b, or c can represent: a, b, c, a and b, a and c, b and c, and a, b, and c (seven cases).

[0032] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described below can be combined with each other.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, this application provides an electric bicycle 100, which includes a frame 11, a body cover 12, a running system 13, a suspension system 14, and a power system 15.

[0034] The body panel 12 at least partially covers the frame 11. The running gear 13 is at least partially located under the frame 11, and the suspension system 14 is used to connect the running gear 13 to the frame 11. The power system 15 is supported by the frame 11 and is used to drive the running gear 13.

[0035] For ease of description of the technical solutions in this application, the following are also defined: Figure 1 The directions shown are front, back, left, right, up, and down. It should be noted that the directions defined in this embodiment are the directions when the vehicle is on a horizontal plane; where front and back refers to the length direction of the electric bicycle 100, left and right refers to the width direction of the electric bicycle 100, and up and down refers to the height direction of the electric bicycle 100.

[0036] Furthermore, the electric bicycle 100 also includes an electrical system 16; such as Figure 2 As shown, the electrical system 16 includes an instrument 161, a sensor 162, a control module 163, and a switch button 164.

[0037] Sensors 162 are distributed on the electric bicycle 100 to acquire relevant information about the electric bicycle 100 itself and / or its surroundings. In the embodiments of this application, the sensors 162 may be front and rear radars, six-axis accelerometers, and cameras, etc. In this embodiment, the specific type and installation location of the sensors 162 are not limited, and those skilled in the art can freely select and combine the sensors 162 according to their needs.

[0038] The control module 163 is communicatively connected to the instrument cluster 161 and the sensor 162 to receive relevant information collected by the sensor 162 and display it on the instrument cluster 161. In the embodiments of this application, in addition to the vehicle's own relevant information obtained by the sensor 162, such as acceleration information, other relevant vehicle information, including vehicle speed information and equipment fault information, can also be obtained via the CAN (Controller Area Network) bus. The sensor 162 can also obtain relevant information about the vehicle's surroundings, such as information about obstacles in front and behind, and blind spot information. This application does not specifically limit the relevant vehicle information collected; those skilled in the art can choose according to their needs. The sensor 162 sends the obtained vehicle-related information to the control module 163, and the control module 163 drives the instrument cluster 161 to display the corresponding information.

[0039] The control module 163 can be composed of integrated circuits, such as a single packaged integrated circuit or multiple integrated circuits with the same or different functions, including one or more central vehicle controllers (CPUs), micro vehicle controllers, digital processing chips, graphics vehicle controllers, and combinations of various control chips.

[0040] The switching button 164 is electrically connected to the control module 163. For example, the switching button 164 can be set on the handlebar side of the electric bicycle 100 for easy operation by the user. The user sends an electrical signal of "switching command" by operating the switching button 164, and the control module 163 executes the corresponding switching action according to the current vehicle status.

[0041] The function of the switching button 164 varies depending on the scenario in which the electric bicycle 100 is in use. For example, when the electric bicycle 100 is connected to a mobile phone via Bluetooth, the switching button 164 can be used to switch songs. When not connected to Bluetooth, it has a custom button function. When the electric bicycle 100 is parked and the user enters the game, the user can control the direction in the game through the switching button 164. When riding the bicycle, the switching button 164 can switch the driving mode of the vehicle.

[0042] The instrument panel 161 is located at the top front of the vehicle. The instrument panel 161 includes a display interface 1611 and a display circuit 1612. The display circuit 1612 contains several LEDs. By controlling the on / off states of different LEDs, the display circuit 1612 displays different information on the display interface 1611. Specifically, the display circuit 1612 is connected to a control module 163, receives signals from the control module 163, and illuminates or extinguishes corresponding LEDs in the display circuit 1612, thereby displaying relevant vehicle information to the user on the display interface 1611. This relevant vehicle information includes real-time speed, mileage, lighting information, and equipment malfunction information.

[0043] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the display interface 1611 includes at least two interactive display areas 1611b and driving display areas 1611a distributed horizontally along the width direction of the instrument 161. The interactive display areas 1611b and driving display areas 1611a adopt a pixel display method.

[0044] The display interface 1611 can be any of the following: Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), Light Emitting Diode (LED), or Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED). In this embodiment, the display interface 1611 uses LCD technology. The pixel display methods of LCD technology include dot matrix LCD, segment LCD, thin film transistor (TFT) LCD, super twisted nematic (STN) LCD, etc.

[0045] The display interface 1611 adopts a pixel display method composed of several pixel units. Each pixel unit is presented as a geometric shape with a clearly defined boundary. For example, a pixel unit can be a regular geometric shape such as a square, rectangle, or circle, or it can be a custom irregular geometric shape. In this embodiment, no specific geometric shape is limited. When the pixel units are displayed on the display interface 1611, the boundaries between each pixel unit can be visually distinguished by the naked eye, i.e., the gaps between each pixel unit can be seen intuitively. In this embodiment, the interactive display area 1611b is displayed in a dot matrix manner, that is, the pixel units are distributed in an array and are located on the left side of the display interface 1611. The driving display area 1611a is displayed in a segment code manner and is located on the right side of the display interface 1611. The interactive display area 1611b is configured to display interactive information, and the driving display area 1611a is configured to display driving information. Specifically, the driving information includes at least real-time vehicle speed information; the interactive information includes interactive animations, external device connection animations, or device fault animations, etc. Furthermore, the interactive information can be interactive animations customized according to different scenario modes.

[0046] In this embodiment, the interactive display area 1611b displays interactive information in the form of a dot matrix. Users can set custom interactive animations in different scenario modes according to their actual needs. The dot matrix display makes it easier and cheaper to expand the interactive animations.

[0047] The LCD instrument 161 provided in this application embodiment has a driving display area 1611a on the right and an interactive display area 1611b on the left. Since most users' dominant eye is the right eye, what the dominant eye sees will be received by the brain first. Therefore, arranging the driving information on the right side of the display interface 1611 is in line with the user's visual intuition and helps the user obtain driving information and ride safety.

[0048] As another implementation of this embodiment, the size of the driving display area 1611a ranges from 77mm*35mm to 99mm*55mm, that is, the area of ​​the driving display area 1611a ranges from 2695mm². 2 ~5335mm 2 The dimensions of the driving display area 1611a are between 35mm and 55mm in height and between 77mm and 99mm in width. Preferably, the dimensions of the driving display area 1611a are between 3.5 inches * 1.5 inches and 4 inches * 2.5 inches, which translates to approximately 89mm * 38mm to 101.5mm to 63.5mm in millimeters.

[0049] It should be noted that the height dimension range of the driving display area 1611a refers to the maximum projected distance between the highest and lowest points of the driving information in the height direction; the width dimension range of the driving display area 1611a refers to the maximum projected distance between the leftmost and rightmost points of the driving information in the width direction. It can be understood that the rectangular area formed by the height and width dimension ranges of the driving display area 1611a is the size range of the driving display area 1611a.

[0050] The size of the interactive display area 1611b ranges from 30mm*32mm to 48mm*50mm, meaning the area of ​​the interactive display area 1611b is approximately 960mm². 2 ~2400mm 2 The interactive display area 1611b has a height range of 32mm to 50mm and a width range of 30mm to 48mm. Preferably, the interactive display area 1611b has a size range of 1.5 inches * 1.5 inches to 2 inches * 2 inches, which is approximately 38mm * 38mm to 51mm * 51mm in millimeters.

[0051] It should be noted that the height dimension range of the interactive display area 1611b refers to the maximum projection distance between the boundary points of the uppermost and lowermost pixel units within the interactive display area 1611b in the height direction; the width dimension range of the interactive display area 1611b refers to the maximum projection distance between the boundary points of the leftmost and rightmost pixel units in the width direction. In essence, the rectangular area formed by the height and width dimension ranges of the interactive display area 1611b constitutes the size range of the interactive display area 1611b.

[0052] Furthermore, the area ratio of the driving display area 1611a to the display interface 1611 ranges from 0.55 to 0.75; the area ratio between the driving display area 1611a and the interactive display area 1611b ranges from 1.1 to 5.6, preferably from 1.7 to 3.5. This application distributes the driving display area 1611a and the interactive display area 1611b horizontally within the display interface 1611 of the instrument cluster 161. Specifically, the size and area ratio of the driving display area 1611a and the interactive display area 1611b are optimized to highlight the driving content in the right-hand driving display area 1611a, which is more in line with the user's eye habits, helps the user obtain driving information, and ensures the user's driving safety.

[0053] In one embodiment provided in this example, an indicator light display area 1611c is provided on the upper side of the display interface 1611. The indicator light display area 1611c is configured to display indicator lights that indicate the vehicle status. Specifically, the indicator lights include functional indicator lights such as turn signal indicators, high / low beam indicators, and automatic headlight indicators, as well as fault indication indicator lights such as blind spot warning indicators, tire pressure warning indicators, and power limit indicator lights. In this embodiment, there is no specific limitation on the number and type of indicator lights; they can be selected and set according to actual needs.

[0054] In one embodiment provided in this example, an additional information display area 1611d is provided on the lower side of the display interface 1611. The additional information display area 1611d is configured to display at least one type of vehicle information, including total mileage information, trip mileage information, and battery level information. In this embodiment, the numerical information in the additional information display area 1611d is displayed in the form of segment codes. Furthermore, the additional information display area 1611d is a long strip-shaped display area, and its size ranges from 120mm*3.5mm to 140mm*7.5mm.

[0055] It should be noted that the height dimension of the supplementary information display area 1611d refers to the maximum projection distance between the highest and lowest points of the supplementary information in the height direction; the width dimension of the supplementary information display area 1611d refers to the maximum projection distance between the leftmost and rightmost points of the supplementary information in the width direction. It can be understood that the rectangular area formed by the height and width dimensions of the supplementary information display area 1611d is the size range of the supplementary information display area 1611d. Indicator lights and other supplementary information are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the display interface 1611, respectively. These displayed information have a lower priority than the driving information in the driving display area 1611a and the interactive information in the interactive display area 1611b, and require less area. Therefore, the upper and lower areas of the display interface 1611 can be utilized to make full use of the limited display area, with each display area arranged in a hierarchical manner.

[0056] In one embodiment provided in this example, a driving mode display area 1611e is further provided between the interactive display area 1611b and the indicator light display area 1611c. The driving mode display area 1611e is configured to display the current driving mode information, which may include NORMAL mode, SPORT mode, and ECO mode, etc. In this embodiment, the driving mode display area 1611e is displayed in the form of segment codes. Furthermore, the driving mode display area 1611e is a long strip-shaped display area, and its size ranges from 34mm*2.5mm to 40mm*7.5mm.

[0057] It should be noted that the height dimension of the driving mode display area 1611e refers to the maximum projected distance between the highest and lowest points of the current driving mode information in the height direction; the width dimension of the driving mode display area 1611e refers to the maximum projected distance between the leftmost and rightmost points of the current driving mode information in the width direction. In essence, the rectangular area formed by the height and width dimensions of the driving mode display area 1611e constitutes the size range of the driving mode display area 1611e.

[0058] The driving mode display area 1611e is located between the interactive display area 1611b and the indicator light display area 1611c, making full use of the limited space of the display interface 1611. It uses segment code display, which makes the display clearer and simpler, and the hardware cost is low.

[0059] As another implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, an auxiliary information display area 1611f is provided to the right of the driving display area 1611a. The auxiliary information display area 1611f is configured to display other driving information and / or interactive information. For example, when simple navigation information is displayed in the interactive display area 1611b, an incoming call notification pop-up window needs to appear. At this time, the incoming call notification pop-up window will appear in the auxiliary information display area 1611f. Other interactive information or driving information is supplemented and displayed without affecting the original display information in the interactive display area 1611b or the driving display area 1611a.

[0060] Furthermore, the indicator light display area 1611c and the supplementary information display area 1611d can be positioned above / below at least one of the interactive display area 1611b, the driving display area 1611a, or the auxiliary information display area 1611f. That is, the indicator light display area 1611c and the supplementary information display area 1611d can be positioned entirely above / below the interactive display area 1611b, the driving display area 1611a, and the auxiliary information display area 1611f; alternatively, the indicator light display area 1611c and the supplementary information display area 1611d can be positioned above / below the driving display area 1611a and the auxiliary information display area 1611f, with the interactive display area 1611b extending from the upper side of the display interface 1611 to the lower side of the display interface 1611. This configuration allows for a larger interactive display area 1611b and more interactive information.

[0061] Furthermore, the display areas mentioned above in the display interface 1611 can be spliced ​​together from different display circuit boards 1612, or they can be integrated on the same display circuit board 1612. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0062] In one embodiment of this invention, the interactive display area 1611b displays or switches corresponding interactive information according to the vehicle's operating status and the selected scenario mode.

[0063] Specifically, vehicle operating status includes whether the vehicle is in operation; such as Figures 5a to 5f As shown, the scenario modes include device status mode, multimedia mode, and interactive mode. When the electric bicycle 100 is not in motion, the display interface 1611 enters the switching page for selection; when the vehicle is in motion, the scenario mode can be switched using the switching button 164.

[0064] As one implementation, the device status mode is configured to indicate the connection status and health status of vehicle devices or external devices.

[0065] In device status mode, the interactive display area 1611b can switch to display icons of external devices connected to the electric bicycle 100. These external devices may include mobile phones, tablets, desktop computers, laptops, and other devices.

[0066] When a vehicle device malfunctions, a fault warning for the corresponding device is displayed in a pop-up window in the interactive display area 1611b. For example, such as... Figure 5a The side brace shown is a reminder and Figure 5b The system provides fault alerts. When the side stand is not in the designated position, such as not being fully lowered or retracted, a side stand reminder will be displayed in a pop-up window in the interactive display area 1611b. The side stand reminder will be canceled when the side stand is in the designated position. When the vehicle's own equipment malfunctions, a fault alert will be displayed in a pop-up window in the interactive display area 1611b. For example, if a tire is punctured and leaks air during driving, a corresponding tire leak animation will be displayed in a pop-up window in the interactive display area 1611b.

[0067] As one implementation, the multimedia mode is configured to display the state of multimedia applications.

[0068] In multimedia mode, the interactive display area 1611b can display animations including music, navigation, or social message prompts. For example, such as... Figure 5d Music playback animation in Figure 5e WeChat message notifications Figure 5f For example, when playing music on the car's infotainment system or an external device connected to the vehicle, the interactive display area 1611b displays a music playback animation; when a WeChat message arrives on an external device connected to the vehicle, a pop-up window on the interactive display area 1611b displays a WeChat message notification, which disappears after the message has been read; when a call comes in from an external device connected to the vehicle, a pop-up window on the interactive display area 1611b displays a call notification, which disappears after the call is disconnected.

[0069] As one implementation method, the interaction mode is configured to display human-computer interaction animations.

[0070] In interactive mode, the interactive display area 1611b can display human-computer interaction animations, enabling human-computer interaction through physical buttons, virtual buttons, or remote control. For example,... Figure 5c The game features holiday Easter eggs that, in interactive mode, allow users to remotely control the playback of holiday animations via physical buttons, virtual buttons, or external devices connected to the vehicle.

[0071] Furthermore, the human-computer interaction animation is a custom graphic and text format. The content of the custom graphic and text, as well as the human-computer interaction actions, are set through an external device connected to the electric bicycle 100. The interactive display area 1611b can display a variety of customized display content, and new content can be updated via OTA to keep the content fresh and improve the user experience.

[0072] Furthermore, the interaction mode also includes a game mode. When the electric bicycle 100 is not in motion, it can be selected to enter the game mode; when the real-time speed of the electric bicycle 100 exceeds a preset safe speed threshold, it automatically exits the game mode. On the interactive display area 1611b, the user can play simple games, such as Snake or Air Combat, by using the switch button 164 on the handlebars.

[0073] Furthermore, the interactive display area 1611b can also display more interactive information, such as simple navigation, weather reminders, birthday reminders, achievement badges, and car pets. The interactive display area 1611b provides users with the ability to add functions through dot matrix, which can add rich interactive functions while ensuring low hardware costs.

[0074] As one implementation of this embodiment, the display interface 1611 covers the display circuit 1612 to display relevant information about the electric bicycle 100 on the display interface 1611.

[0075] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the display circuit 1612 includes at least one dot matrix region 1612e, which includes a plurality of LEDs distributed in a dot matrix pattern to present an array of pixel units on the display interface 1611. The array range of the LEDs is between 20*20 and 30*30, and in this embodiment, it is a 24*25 array of LEDs. It should be noted that the number of LEDs in the array can be set according to requirements, and this application does not limit it. The gaps between adjacent LEDs in the dot matrix region 1612e are basically equal, and at least some of the LEDs in each row / column of the dot matrix region 1612e are collinearly connected by connecting lines in the gaps adjacent to the LEDs. Further, the gap between adjacent LEDs is between 0.2mm and 0.4mm, preferably, the gap between each row of LEDs is between 0.32mm and 0.37mm, and the gap between each column of LEDs is between 0.30mm and 0.35mm.

[0076] In the embodiments of this application, at least some of the LEDs in each row of the dot matrix region 1612e are connected collinearly. The dot matrix region 1612e is divided into a left region and a right region along the center line in its width direction. The arrangement of LEDs in the left region and the right region is substantially symmetrical about the center line in the width direction of the dot matrix region 1612e.

[0077] Specifically, in the left region, the connecting lines of the LEDs extend to the left to the common point 1612a; in the right region, the connecting lines of the LEDs extend to the right to the common point 1612a. The left region is divided into a first sub-region 1612f and a second sub-region 1612g along its width-direction centerline; the right region is divided into a third sub-region 1612h and a fourth sub-region 1612i along its width-direction centerline; the LEDs in the first sub-region 1612f and the second sub-region 1612g are substantially symmetrical about left and right with respect to the width-direction centerline of the left region; the LEDs in the third sub-region 1612h and the fourth sub-region 1612i are substantially symmetrical about left and right with respect to the width-direction centerline of the right region.

[0078] In the first sub-region 1612f, the LEDs are collinearly connected with respect to the centerline in the width direction of the first sub-region 1612f; some LEDs in the first sub-region 1612f and the second sub-region 1612g are collinearly connected, and the arrangement of the connecting line between the first sub-region 1612f and the second sub-region 1612g is basically symmetrical with respect to the centerline in the width direction of the left region.

[0079] Within the same sub-region, the connections between LEDs are in an "Ω" shape; the connecting lines between LEDs in the same row are connected through the gaps above the LEDs or between adjacent LEDs; the connecting lines between LEDs and LEDs in common point 1612a or other sub-regions are connected through the gaps below the LEDs.

[0080] Through the above connection settings, the points in the dot matrix array can maintain basically the same vertical and horizontal spacing, allowing users to have a better visual experience.

[0081] As another implementation, at least some of the LEDs in each column of the dot matrix region 1612e are connected collinearly. The dot matrix region 1612e is divided into an upper region and a lower region along the center line in its width and height directions. The arrangement and wiring of the LEDs in the upper and lower regions are basically symmetrical with respect to the center line in the height direction of the dot matrix region 1612e.

[0082] Specifically, the connecting lines of the LEDs in the upper region extend upwards to the common point 1612a; the connecting lines of the LEDs in the lower region extend downwards to the common point 1612a. The upper region is divided into the fifth and sixth sub-regions along its height-direction centerline; the lower region is divided into the seventh and eighth sub-regions along its height-direction centerline; the LEDs in the fifth and sixth sub-regions are basically symmetrical with respect to the height-direction centerline of the upper region; the LEDs in the seventh and eighth sub-regions are basically symmetrical with respect to the height-direction centerline of the lower region.

[0083] In the fifth sub-region, LEDs symmetrically connected along the centerline in the height direction of the fifth sub-region are collinear; some LEDs in the fifth and sixth sub-regions are collinearly connected, and the arrangement of the connecting lines between the fifth and sixth sub-regions is basically symmetrical with respect to the centerline in the width direction of the upper region.

[0084] Within the same sub-region, the connections between LEDs are generally in an "Ω" shape; the connections between LEDs in the same column are set through the gaps on the right side of the LEDs or the gaps between adjacent LEDs; the connections between LEDs and LEDs in common point 1612a or other sub-regions are set through the gaps on the left side of the LEDs.

[0085] Through the above connection settings, the points in the dot matrix array can maintain basically the same vertical and horizontal spacing, allowing users to have a better visual experience.

[0086] As one implementation method, such as Figure 6 As shown, the display circuit 1612 also includes a first segment code area 1612b, a second segment code area 1612c, and a third segment code area 1612d, which are respectively disposed around the dot matrix area 1612e. Specifically, the first segment code area 1612b is used to display the speed information of the electric bicycle 100, the second segment code area 1612c is used to display the driving mode of the electric bicycle 100, and the third segment code area 1612d is used to display additional information of the electric bicycle 100.

[0087] The dot matrix area 1612e is located on the left side of the display circuit 1612, and the first segment code area 1612b is located on the right side of the display circuit 1612. The second segment code area 1612c is located above the dot matrix area 1612e; and the third segment code area 1612d is located below the display circuit 1612.

[0088] Furthermore, the gap between the dot matrix region 1612e and the first segment code region 1612b is between 2mm and 10mm, preferably between 6.5mm and 8.5mm; the gap between the dot matrix region 1612e and the second segment code region 1612c is between 1mm and 10mm, preferably between 1.5mm and 3.5mm; and the gap between the dot matrix region 1612e and the third segment code region 1612d is between 2mm and 10mm, preferably between 7.5mm and 9.5mm.

[0089] A reasonable gap is set between each area to ensure that the wiring of all lines is not interfered with within a limited space, while also ensuring that the LEDs are arranged in an orderly manner. The dot matrix area 1612e and each segment code area can be set on different display circuits 1612 respectively, which facilitates the adjustment of the gap between each area, reasonable distribution, and easy wiring of each circuit area; or they can be integrated on the same display circuit 1612, making installation and layout more convenient.

[0090] As one implementation method, such as Figure 8 As shown, in the dot matrix area 1612e of the display circuit 1612, several adjacent LEDs in the same column are grouped together, and the LEDs in the same group are connected collinearly. The number of LEDs in each group on the same row is equal. In this embodiment, four adjacent LEDs in the same column are grouped together and connected collinearly; the connecting line of the LEDs in the same group is connected from above or below the group of LEDs to the common point 1612a.

[0091] In the dot matrix area 1612e, the connecting lines of each group of LEDs in at least the bottom row are connected from below to the common point 1612a, and the connecting lines of each group of LEDs in the top row are connected from above to the common point 1612a. This wiring method reduces the gap between LED groups within the same dot matrix array and also decreases the gap between groups of LEDs in the same row, thus reducing the space required for the dot matrix area 1612e and facilitating wiring.

[0092] As one implementation, in the dot matrix area 1612e of the display circuit 1612, several adjacent LEDs in the same row are grouped together, the LEDs in the same group are connected collinearly, the number of LEDs in each group in the same column is equal, and the connecting line of the LEDs in the same group is connected from the left or right side of the LEDs in the group to the common point 1612a.

[0093] In the dot matrix area 1612e, the connecting lines of each group of LEDs in the leftmost column are connected to the common point 1612a from their left side; the connecting lines of each group of LEDs in the rightmost column are connected to the common point 1612a from above. This wiring method reduces the gap between LED groups within the same dot matrix array and also decreases the gap between groups of LEDs in the same column, thus reducing the space required for the dot matrix area 1612e and facilitating wiring.
