Solution Overview

Problem

Existing light emitting devices face challenges in reducing inductance between the light emitting element array and the wiring substrate, which affects the efficiency of high-speed and high-frequency operations required for three-dimensional sensing applications.

Innovation Solution

A light emitting device configuration with a conductive pattern extending beyond the facing region of the light emitting element array, including a plurality of penetrating members through the base material to connect with the wiring substrate, reduces inductance by increasing the area of connection and utilizing a heat dissipation base material to manage heat efficiently.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a conductive pattern is arranged only at a position facing the light emitting element array along the alignment direction, then the device complexity is reduced, but the inductance between the light emitting element array and the wiring substrate increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconductive pattern arrangementVSAvoidinductance
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The conductive pattern is extended from a one-dimensional alignment direction arrangement to a two-dimensional configuration that includes both the facing region along the alignment direction and the side surface region. This dimensional expansion allows the conductive pattern to connect with multiple penetrating members distributed across different locations, thereby reducing inductance without significantly increasing device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The conductive pattern is divided into multiple segments: a first facing region connected to the light emitting element array along the alignment direction, and a first side surface region connected to a side surface of the light emitting element array. This segmentation allows the conductive pattern to establish multiple connection paths through different penetrating members, reducing overall inductance while maintaining manageable complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the conductive pattern is extended beyond the facing region to include side surface regions, then the inductance is reduced, but the area of the base material increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The conductive pattern is strategically placed in specific local regions: the first facing region along the alignment direction and the first side surface region along a side surface. This localized placement ensures that the conductive pattern extends only to the extent necessary for reducing inductance, avoiding unnecessary expansion of the base material area while achieving the desired electrical performance
