Abstract

A light module is provided and includes a main body and at least an LED. The main body comprises an outer surface and at least a bending portion protruding therefrom, wherein the LED is disposed on the bending portion. Specifically, the bending portion and the outer surface form an included angle θ therebetween, wherein 0°<θ<180°.

Claims (12)

1. A light module, comprising:

a substrate, comprising a first surface, a first bending portion connected to the first surface, and a first slot formed on the first surface to form the first bending portion; and

a flexible printed circuit connected to the substrate, comprising a second surface, a second bending portion connected to the second surface and adhered to the first bending portion, and a second slot formed on the first surface to form the second bending portion, wherein the first and second bending portions protrude from the second surface and form an included angle θ therebetween, wherein 0°<θ<180°.

2. The light module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first slot is substantially U-shaped.

3. The light module as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the substrate further comprises a connection portion formed between two opposite sides of the first slot to connect the first bending portion and the first surface, wherein width of the connection portion between the two opposite sides of the first slot is smaller than that of the first bending portion between the two opposite sides of the first slot.

4. The light module as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the second bending portion has a hole located corresponding to the connection portion.

5. The light module as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the connection portion is exposed by the hole.

6. The light module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second slot is substantially U-shaped.

7. The light module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the substrate is made of metal.

8. The light module as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the substrate is made of aluminum.

9. The light module as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the first slot is formed on the first surface by punching.

10. The light module as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the second slot is formed on the second surface by punching.
