Abstract

A light-emitting module includes a carrier, a plurality of light-emitting units, and a protection layer. The carrier has a lighting portion and an extending portion. The plurality of light-emitting units is disposed on the lighting portion. The protection layer covers the plurality of light-emitting units and the lighting portion, and exposes the extending portion.

Claims (21)

1. A light-emitting module, comprising:

a carrier comprising a lighting portion and an extending portion;

a plurality of light-emitting units disposed on the lighting portion, wherein the lighting portion is transparent to light emitted from the light-emitting unit; and

a protection layer covering the plurality of light-emitting units, and the lighting portion,

wherein the extending portion is exposed from the protection layer.

2. The light-emitting module according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier has a flexible structure.

3. The light-emitting module according to claim 1 , wherein the extending portion has a length longer than that of the lighting portion.

4. The light-emitting module according to claim 1 , wherein the lighting portion and the extending portion are formed in one integrated piece.

5. The light-emitting module according to claim 1 , wherein the protection layer has a surface temperature not higher than 50° C. during operation.

6. The light-emitting module according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of light-emitting units has a dimension less than 150 μm×150 μm.

7. The light-emitting module according to claim 1 , wherein the protection layer comprises biomedical grade elastomer, or biomedical grade silicone rubber.

8. A light-emitting module, comprising:

a carrier comprising a top surface;

a first light-emitting unit and a second light-emitting unit disposed on the top surface; and

a protection layer comprising a first inner layer covering the first light-emitting unit, a second inner layer separated from the first inner layer and covering the second light-emitting unit, and an outer layer continuously covering the first inner layer and the second inner layer,

wherein the first inner layer and the second inner layer have a refractive index larger than that of the outer layer.

9. The light-emitting module according to claim 8 , wherein the outer layer comprises a biomedical grade elastomer, or a biomedical grade silicone rubber.

10. The light-emitting module according to claim 8 , wherein the first inner layer has a dome shape.

11. The light-emitting module according to claim 8 , wherein the first inner layer and the outer layer have different hardnesses.

12. The light-emitting module according to claim 8 , wherein the first inner layer has hardness larger than that of the outer layer.

13. The light-emitting module according to claim 8 , wherein the carrier has a flexible structure.
