Abstract

A lamp including a carrier and a plurality of light source modules stacked to the carrier is provided. Each light source module includes a circuit board and a plurality of light-emitting diodes, wherein the light-emitting diodes are disposed on at least one side of the circuit board and electrically connected to the circuit board.

Claims (44)

1. A lamp, comprising:

a carrier; and

a plurality of light source modules stacked to the carrier, and each of the light source modules comprising:

a circuit board; and

a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), disposed on at least one side of the circuit board and electrically connected to the circuit board,

wherein the carrier comprises a pillar and a base, and the pillar is disposed on the base whereas the plurality of light source modules are stacked to the pillar,

wherein a power required by the plurality of LEDs is provided by the pillar.

2. The lamp as claimed in 1 , wherein the circuit board has a through hole and the pillar passes through the through hole so as to retain the circuit board on the pillar.

3. The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of LEDs surround the pillar.

4. The lamp as claimed in claim 2 , wherein each of the light source modules has a plurality of protrusions disposed on one side of the circuit board, and the plurality of LEDs surrounds the through hole while the plurality of protrusions is disposed between the plurality of LEDs and the through hole.

5. The lamp as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the through hole is circular, elliptical, or polygonal in shape.

6. The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an outer contour of the circuit board is circular, elliptical, or polygonal in shape.

7. The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of LEDs is surface mount device (SMD) LEDs.

8. The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the LEDs comprises a side view LED having a light-emitting side facing outward of each circuit board.

9. The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the carrier has a set of first electrodes and is electrically connected to the circuit board via the set of first electrodes.

10. The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the LEDs comprises a set of second electrodes and is electrically connected to the circuit board via the set of second electrodes.

11. The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the light source modules comprises a set of third electrodes and is electrically connected to the circuit board via the set of third electrodes.

12. The lamp as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the set of third electrodes is a pair of conductive protrusions.

13. The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an optical lens disposed on optical paths of lights emitted by the plurality of LEDs.

14. The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a connector disposed on the carrier and electrically connected to the circuit board.

15. The lamp as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the connector has a pair of electrode rods protruding away from the carrier from a surface of the connector.

16. The lamp as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the pair of electrode rods is in a shape of a cylinder, a quadrangular prism, or a pillar of other forms.

17. A lamp, comprising:

a carrier; and

a plurality of light source modules stacked to the carrier, and each of the light source modules comprising:

a circuit board; and

a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), disposed on at least one side of the circuit board and electrically connected to the circuit board,

wherein the carrier comprises a pillar and a base, and the pillar is disposed on the base whereas the plurality of light source modules are stacked to the pillar,

wherein the circuit board has a through hole and the pillar passes through the through hole so as to retain the circuit board on the pillar,

wherein each of the light source modules has a plurality of protrusions disposed on one side of the circuit board, and the plurality of LEDs surrounds the through hole while the plurality of protrusions is disposed between the plurality of LEDs and the through hole.

18. The lamp as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the plurality of LEDs surround the pillar.

19. The lamp as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the through hole is circular, elliptical, or polygonal in shape.

20. The lamp as claimed in claim 17 , wherein an outer contour of the circuit board is circular, elliptical, or polygonal in shape.

21. The lamp as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the plurality of LEDs is surface mount device (SMD) LEDs.

22. The lamp as claimed in claim 17 , wherein each of the LEDs comprises a side view LED having a light-emitting side facing outward of each circuit board.

23. The lamp as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the carrier has a set of first electrodes and is electrically connected to the circuit board via the set of first electrodes.

24. The lamp as claimed in claim 17 , wherein each of the LEDs comprises a set of second electrodes and is electrically connected to the circuit board via the set of second electrodes.

25. The lamp as claimed in claim 17 , wherein a power required by the plurality of LEDs is provided by the pillar.

26. The lamp as claimed in claim 17 , wherein each of the light source modules comprises a set of third electrodes and is electrically connected to the circuit board via the set of third electrodes.

27. The lamp as claimed in claim 26 , wherein the set of third electrodes is a pair of conductive protrusions.

28. The lamp as claimed in claim 17 , further comprising an optical lens disposed on optical paths of lights emitted by the plurality of LEDs.

29. The lamp as claimed in claim 17 , further comprising a connector disposed on the carrier and electrically connected to the circuit board.

30. The lamp as claimed in claim 29 , wherein the connector has a pair of electrode rods protruding away from the carrier from a surface of the connector.

31. The lamp as claimed in claim 30 , wherein the pair of electrode rods is in a shape of a cylinder, a quadrangular prism, or a pillar of other forms.
