Abstract

An electronic illuminating device includes an illuminating area, a routing area and a control area. The illuminating area includes multiple light-emitting blocks and multiple illuminating area power-supply lines. Each the light-emitting block employs at least one light-emitting element as light source, and further is electrically coupled to a corresponding one of the illuminating area power-supply lines. The routing area includes multiple routing area power-supply lines, and each the routing area power-supply line is electrically coupled to a corresponding one of the illuminating area power-supply lines. The control area provides powers to the routing area power-supply lines. A width of at least one of the illuminating area power-supply lines and the corresponding routing area power-supply line or a length of at least one of the routing area power-supply lines is adjusted, such that differences among resistances between the light-emitting blocks and the control area are within 20%.

Claims (26)

1. An electronic illuminating device, comprising:

an illuminating area comprising:

a plurality of light-emitting blocks, each of the light-emitting blocks using at least one light-emitting element as a light source; and

a plurality of illuminating area power-supply lines disposed in the illuminating area, and each of the illuminating area power-supply lines being electrically coupled to a corresponding one of the light-emitting blocks;

a routing area comprising a plurality of routing area power-supply lines, each of the routing area power-supply lines being electrically coupled to a corresponding one of the illuminating area power-supply lines; and

a control area electrically coupled to the routing area power-supply lines to supply powers to the routing area power-supply lines,

wherein a width of at least one of the illuminating area power-supply lines and the corresponding routing area power-supply line or a length of at least one of the routing area power-supply lines is adjusted, and thereby differences among resistances between the light-emitting blocks and the control area are within 20%.

2. The electronic illuminating device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the width of one of the illuminating area power-supply lines and the corresponding routing area power-supply line together given a longer total length is larger than the width of another of the illuminating area power-supply lines and the corresponding routing area power-supply line together given a shorter total length.

3. The electronic illuminating device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the differences among the resistances between the light-emitting blocks and the control area are adjusted to be within 5%.

4. The electronic illuminating device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the length of the routing area power-supply line electrically coupled to the corresponding light-emitting block having a shorter linear distance from the control area, is larger than the length of the routing area power-supply line electrically coupled to the corresponding light-emitting block having a longer linear distance from the control area.

5. The electronic illuminating device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one light-emitting element each is a light-emitting diode.

6. The electronic illuminating device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein each of the illuminating area power-supply lines is electrically coupled to a terminal of the at least one light-emitting element.

7. The electronic illuminating device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the illuminating area power-supply lines are not alternately arranged with the light-emitting blocks along a first direction, and the illuminating area power-supply lines are alternately arranged with the light-emitting blocks along a second direction.

8. An electronic illuminating device, comprising:

a plurality of light-emitting blocks, each of the light-emitting blocks using at least one light-emitting element as a light source;

a plurality of power-supply lines respectively electrically coupled to the light-emitting blocks; and

a control area electrically coupled to the light-emitting blocks through the respective power-supply lines;

wherein linear distances of the light-emitting blocks with respect to the control area are different,

wherein widths of the power-supply lines as well as lengths of the power-supply lines are different such that differences among resistances between the light-emitting blocks and the control area are within 20%.

9. The electronic illuminating device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the differences among the resistances between the light-emitting blocks and the control area are within 5%.

10. An electronic illuminating device, comprising:

a plurality of light-emitting blocks, each of the light-emitting blocks using at least one light-emitting element as a light source;

a plurality of power-supply lines respectively electrically coupled to the light-emitting blocks; and

a control area electrically coupled to the light-emitting blocks through the respective power-supply lines;

wherein linear distances of the light-emitting blocks with respect to the control area are different,

wherein widths of the power-supply lines are substantially the same, and lengths of the power-supply lines also are substantially the same.
