Abstract

A flexible light emitting array includes a flexible substrate, pluralities of first wires, second wires and light emitting components. The flexible substrate has a first surface and an opposite second surface. The first wires and the second wires penetrates across the first surface and the second surface to form pluralities of first conductive wire segments and second conductive wire segments on the first surface side and the second surface side. The light emitting components are arranged on the first surface side and electrically connected to the first conductive wire segments and the second conductive wire segments. The flexible light emitting array not only increases the reliability of bonding between the light emitting component and the flexible substrate but also drives the light emitting components with programmable control to achieve the dynamic effects.

Claims (22)

1. A flexible light emitting array comprising:

a flexible substrate, comprising a first surface and a opposite second surface, and comprised of an insulating material;

a plurality of first wires, penetrating across the first surface and the second surface to respectively form a plurality of first conductive wire segments on the first surface and the second surface;

a plurality of second wires, penetrating across the first surface and the second surface to respectively form a plurality of second conductive wire segments on the first surface and the second surface, wherein the first conductive wire segments and the second conductive wire segments mutually crossing each other are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the flexible substrate; and

a plurality of light emitting components, arranged on the first surface and electrically connected to the first conductive wire segments and the second conductive wire segments.

2. A flexible light emitting array according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible substrate comprises a plurality of holes, and the holes that two ends of the first conductive wire segments and the second conductive wire segments mutually crossing each other penetrate through are respectively arranged in a diagonal configuration.

3. A flexible light emitting array according to claim 1 , wherein the light emitting components are arranged in a matrix.

4. A flexible light emitting array according to claim 1 , further comprising a controller, electrically connected to the first wires and the second wires, for programming the ON/OFF of specific light emitting components.

5. A flexible light emitting array according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the second conductive wire segments and the same first conductive wire segments are mutually and alternately arranged.

6. A flexible light emitting array according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the first conductive wire segments and the same second conductive wire segments are mutually and alternately arranged.

7. A flexible light emitting array according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible substrate comprises a textile fabric, a knitted fabric, a leather, or any combination thereof.

8. A flexible light emitting array comprising:

a flexible substrate, comprising a first surface and a opposite second surface, and comprised of an insulating material;

a plurality of first wires, penetrating across the first surface and the second surface to respectively form a plurality of first conductive wire segments on the first surface and the second surface;

a plurality of second wires, penetrating across the first surface and the second surface to respectively form a plurality of second conductive wire segments on the first surface and the second surface, wherein the first conductive wire segments and the second conductive wire segments mutually crossing each other are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the flexible substrate; and

a plurality of light emitting components, arranged on the first surface and electrically connected to the first conductive wire segments and the second conductive wire segments;
