Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional light-emitting modules face challenges in stable and reliable mounting due to the orientation of their main emission direction, which can lead to instability when connected to mounting boards in electronic devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the light-emitting module uses a conventional base design with installation surface only, then the structure is simple, but the mounting reliability and stability are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The base is divided into two distinct surfaces: an installation surface for mounting the light-emitting element and a mounting surface for attaching to the circuit board. This segmentation allows each surface to be optimized for its specific function, improving overall mounting reliability while maintaining structural clarity
Solution Approach 2:
The base structure transitions from a single-plane installation surface to a multi-dimensional configuration with installation surface and mounting surface oriented at right angles to each other. This dimensional change enables simultaneous optimization for both element installation and board mounting, resolving the reliability-complexity contradiction
2Stability of the object's composition
If the light-emitting module uses a base with mounting surface perpendicular to installation surface, then the mounting stability improves, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Mounting recesses are pre-formed on the mounting surface before final assembly. These recesses preliminarily position the mounting-surface electrodes, ensuring stable mounting orientation and preventing rotation during subsequent assembly steps, thereby improving mounting stability without requiring complex post-processing
3Strength
If the wiring pattern includes mounting-surface electrodes covering recesses, then the mounting strength increases, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting recesses serve as pre-prepared cushions or guides that accommodate the mounting-surface electrodes. By beforehand creating these recesses with appropriate dimensions and positions, the design compensates for potential positioning variations, allowing robust solder joint formation without requiring extremely tight electrode positioning tolerances

AI summary
A light-emitting module is provided with a light-emitting element, a base, and a wiring pattern. The base includes an installation surface facing in a first direction and a mounting surface facing in a second direction which is at right angles to the first direction. The light-emitting element is installed on the installation surface. The wiring pattern is formed on the base and is in electrical contact with the light-emitting element. The base includes a pair of mounting recesses recessed from the mounting surface and spaced from each other in a third direction which is at right angles to both the first direction and the second direction. The wiring pattern includes a pair of mounting-surface electrodes respectively covering at least a part of the pair of mounting recesses.
