Method for forming a light-emitting case and related light-emitting module
View Patent ↗A method for manufacturing a light-emitting case includes forming a PLED (Polymer Light Emitting Diode) device, disposing the PLED device into a mold, and utilizing the mold to sheathe the PLED device with transparent plastic material in an injection-molding manner. Since the mold has a cavity corresponding to a predetermined shape, the formed transparent plastic material has a geometric appearance corresponding to the predetermined shape.
1. A method for manufacturing a light-emitting case comprising:
providing a PLED (Polymer Light Emitting Diode) device, the PLED device at least having a light-emitting layer and an electrode set formed on the light-emitting layer;
disposing the PLED device into a mold, the mold having a cavity corresponding to a corrugated shape, and the shape of the PLED device corresponds to the corrugated shape due to the flexibility thereof; and
utilizing the mold to sheathe the PLED device with transparent plastic material in an injection-molding manner;
wherein the formed transparent plastic material has a geometric appearance corresponding to the corrugated shape and us formed as a case structure;
wherein the PLED device is sheathed in the case structure to form the light-emitting case.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the PLED device at least having the light-emitting layer and the electrode set formed on the light-emitting layer comprises providing the PLED device at least having a plurality of light-emitting blocks.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein providing the PLED device at least having the plurality of light-emitting blocks comprises providing the PLED device at least having the plurality of light-emitting blocks, each emitting light of one specific color.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the PLED device at least having the light-emitting layer and the electrode set formed on the light-emitting layer comprises providing the PLED device at least having the light-emitting layer arranged in a specific pattern.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein disposing the PLED device into the mold having the cavity corresponding to the corrugated shape comprises disposing the PLED device into the mold having the cavity corresponding to a curved-surface shape.
6. The method of claim 1 further comprising utilizing the electrode set to control brightness of the light-emitting layer.
7. A light-emitting case having a PLED, the light-emitting case comprising:
a PLED device comprising:
a light-emitting layer; and
an electrode set electrically connected to the light-emitting layer, the electrode set used for controlling the light-emitting layer to emit light or not; and
a case structure formed with the PLED device in a mold by an injection molding method, the mold having a cavity corresponding to a corrugated shape, the shape of the PLED device corresponds to the corrugated shape due to the flexibility thereof, the formed case structure sheathing the PLED device and having a geometric appearance corresponding to the corrugated shape:
wherein the PLED device is sheathed in the case structure to form the light-emitting case.
8. The light-emitting case of claim 7 , wherein the light-emitting layer comprises a plurality of light-emitting blocks.
9. The light-emitting case of claim 8 , wherein each light-emitting block emits light of one specific color.
10. The light-emitting case of claim 7 , wherein the light-emitting layer is arranged in a specific pattern.
11. The light-emitting case of claim 7 , wherein the corrugated shape has a curved-surface.
12. The light-emitting case of claim 7 , wherein the case structure is made of transparent plastic material.
13. The light-emitting case of claim 12 , wherein the case structure is made of ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene) material.
14. The light-emitting case of claim 7 , wherein the electrode set is further used for controlling brightness of the light-emitting layer.
