Abstract

A spliced unit including a substrate, a circuit unit, and light-emitting units is provided. The substrate includes a first part having a first bottom surface and a first top surface opposite to the first bottom surface, and a second part having a second bottom surface and a second top surface opposite to the second bottom surface. There is a height difference between the first bottom surface of the first part and the second bottom surface of the second part. The circuit unit is disposed on the first top surface. The light-emitting units are disposed in the second part of the substrate. In a direction of a normal line perpendicular to the substrate, the first part of the substrate and the second part of the substrate are not overlapped, and the circuit unit and the light-emitting units are not overlapped. A spliced panel including the spliced units is also provided.

Claims (36)

1. A spliced unit comprising:

a substrate comprising:

a first part having a first bottom surface and a first top surface opposite to the first bottom surface; and

a second part having a second bottom surface and a second top surface opposite to the second bottom surface, wherein a height difference exists between the first bottom surface of the first part and the second bottom surface of the second part;

a circuit unit disposed at the first top surface;

a plurality of light-emitting units disposed at the second part of the substrate; and

a connection part connecting the first part to the second part,

wherein in a direction of a normal line perpendicular to the substrate, the first part of the substrate and the second part of the substrate are not overlapped, and the circuit unit and the light-emitting units are not overlapped, and

wherein a sidewall of the circuit unit is aligned with a sidewall of the connection part.

2. The spliced unit as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of signal lines disposed on the substrate, the signal lines respectively extending along the sidewall of the connection part from the circuit unit and electrically connecting the circuit unit to the light-emitting units.

3. The spliced unit as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:

a protection layer disposed on the first part of the substrate, the connection part, and the second part and covering a portion of the circuit unit and the light-emitting units,

wherein the protection layer has a first thickness T 1 on the first part and has a second thickness T 2 on the second part, and T 2 is greater than T 1 .

4. A spliced panel comprising:

a plurality of spliced units, each of the spliced units comprising:

a substrate comprising a first part having a first bottom surface and a second part having a second bottom surface, a height difference existing between the first bottom surface of the first part and the second bottom surface of the second part; and

a driver circuit board, the spliced units being disposed on the driver circuit board, and the first part being located between the second part and the driver circuit board,

wherein the spliced units comprise at least one first spliced unit and at least one second spliced unit,

wherein an accommodation space exists between the second part of the at least one first spliced unit and the driver circuit board, and the first part of the at least one second spliced unit is located in the accommodation space.

5. The spliced panel as recited in claim 4 , wherein in a direction of a normal line perpendicular to the substrate, the second part of the at least one first spliced unit and the first part of the at least one second spliced unit are overlapped, and the second part of the at least one first spliced unit adjoins the second part of the at least one second spliced unit.

6. The spliced panel as recited in claim 4 , each of the spliced units further comprising:

a circuit unit disposed at the first part; and

a plurality of light-emitting units disposed at the second part;

a connection part connecting the first part to the second part; and

a plurality of signal lines disposed on the substrate and electrically connecting the circuit unit to the light-emitting units.

7. The spliced panel as recited in claim 6 , wherein the circuit unit comprises a plurality of internal bonding pads electrically connected to the signal lines and a plurality of external bonding pads electrically connected to the driver circuit board.

8. The spliced panel as recited in claim 6 , wherein in a direction of a normal line perpendicular to the substrate, the light-emitting units of the second part of the at least one first spliced unit and the circuit unit of the first part of the at least one second spliced unit are overlapped.

9. The spliced panel as recited in claim 4 , wherein the number of the at least one second spliced unit is plural, and in a direction of a normal line perpendicular to the substrate, the second part of the at least one first spliced unit and the first parts of the second spliced units are partially overlapped.

10. A spliced unit comprising:

a substrate comprising:

a first part having a first bottom surface and a first top surface opposite to the first bottom surface; and

a second part having a second bottom surface and a second top surface opposite to the second bottom surface, wherein a first height difference exists between the first bottom surface of the first part and the second bottom surface of the second part;

a circuit unit disposed at the first top surface;

a plurality of light-emitting units disposed at the second part of the substrate; and

a connection part connecting the first part to the second part, wherein a second height difference exists between the first top surface and the second top surface,
