Integrated LED Module with On-Board Light-Adjusting Circuit
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional LED lamps have complex manufacturing processes due to the separation of the light-adjusting circuit and knob from the LED module, increasing manufacturing costs.
Innovation Solution
An LED module design where the LED units and light-adjusting units are directly mounted on a circuit board with a conductive trace for electrical connection, integrating the components for simplified manufacturing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the light-adjusting circuit and knob are separated from the LED module, then the light-adjusting function is achieved, but the manufacturing process becomes complex and manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the light-adjusting circuit and the LED module into a single integrated unit. The light-adjusting circuit is mounted directly on the circuit board of the LED module, combining previously separate components (LED module, light-adjusting circuit, and knob) into one unified structure. This integration simplifies the manufacturing process by reducing the number of separate components that need to be assembled and connected, directly addressing the contradiction between manufacturing simplicity and device functionality.
2Device complexity
If the light-adjusting circuit is integrated on the same circuit board as LED units, then manufacturing cost is reduced, but electrical connection complexity may increase
Solution Approach 1:
The light-adjusting circuit and LED units are merged onto the same circuit board, sharing common electrical connections. The circuit board serves as a unified platform that provides both LED driving circuits and light-adjusting circuits with integrated power supply connections, reducing the need for separate wiring and connection components.
Solution Approach 2:
The circuit board is designed to serve multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as the mounting substrate for LED units, provides power supply connections for both LEDs and light-adjusting components, and facilitates electrical connections between different circuit elements. This multi-functional design simplifies the overall electrical connection structure.

AI summary
A light emitting diode module includes a circuit board, a light-emitting-diode (LED) unit, a light-adjusting unit and a conductive trace. The LED unit is directly mounted on the circuit board. The light-adjusting unit is directly mounted on the circuit board at a position distinct from a mounting portion of the LED unit on the circuit board, and is operable to adjust electric current flowing through the LED unit. The conductive trace is disposed on the circuit board for electrically connecting the LED unit to the light-adjusting unit.
