Standardized photon building blocks are used to make both discrete light emitters as well as array products. Each photon building block has one or more LED chips mounted on a substrate. No electrical conductors pass between the top and bottom surfaces of the substrate. The photon building blocks are supported by an interconnect structure that is attached to a heat sink. Landing pads on the top surface of the substrate of each photon building block are attached to contact pads disposed on the underside of a lip of the interconnect structure. In a solder reflow process, the photon building blocks self-align within the interconnect structure. Conductors on the interconnect structure are electrically coupled to the LED dice in the photon building blocks through the contact pads and landing pads. The bottom surface of the interconnect structure is coplanar with the bottom surfaces of the substrates of the photon building blocks.

A printed circuit board (PCB) structure and mounting assembly for joining two PCBs. A first PCB has a top and bottom surface faces and a peripheral end face separating the top and bottom surface. The first PCB has one or more conductive wire ends exposed at a surface of the peripheral end face; the exposed conductive wire ends forming multiple separate electrical contacts across the thickness and length of the PEF surface. A second PCB has a top surface face and one or more conductive pads exposed at the top surface at locations corresponding to locations of the multiple electrical contacts. A surface mount solder material is disposed on one or more exposed conductive pads for electrically connecting with corresponding the multiple electrical contacts. The disposed solder material stably joins the PEF surface of the first PCB to the top surface of the second PCB in a relative perpendicular orientation.

An edge connector includes a first row of golden fingers and a second row of golden fingers. The first row of golden fingers is adjacent to a plugging end of the edge connector, and the second row of golden fingers is adjacent to the first row of golden fingers. In a plugging direction of the edge connector, each golden finger in the first row of golden fingers has a first end proximate to the plugging end and a second end opposite to the first end. A first end of a grounded golden finger in the first row of golden fingers is protruded from other golden fingers, and second ends of two or more than two golden fingers in the first row of golden fingers are not aligned with each other.

A semiconductor device including a semiconductor chip disposed on a substrate having a conductive pattern, an insulating plate and a metal plate that are sequentially formed and respectively have the thicknesses of T2, T1 and T3. The metal plate has a plurality of depressions formed on a rear surface thereof. In a side view, a first edge face, which is an edge face of the conductive pattern, is at a first distance away from a second edge face that is an edge face of the metal plate, and a third edge face, which is an edge face of the semiconductor chip, is at a second distance away from the second edge face. Each depression is located within a depression formation distance from the first edge face, where: 0<depression formation distance≤(0.9×T1.sup.2/first distance), and/or (1.1×T1.sup.2/first distance)≤depression formation distance<second distance.

A first stackable printed circuit board with at least a two sets of set of male and female connectors each arranged inline with each other, and each configured in a mirrored pin configuration is arranged along opposing sides of an equilateral geometric shape on both the top and bottom face of the first board in order to attach, by the connectors, to a second stackable printed circuit board with the same male and female connector configuration and arrangement as the first board on at least one face regardless of the axial rotation of first stackable printed circuit board about the X or Y axis by 180 degrees and/or by axial rotation about the Z axis by n/360 degrees where n is the amount of sides of the geometric shape which contain a connector set, thereby allowing for up to n*2 different connection configurations between the first and second printed circuit boards.

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) may include embedded lateral connectors. The embedded lateral connectors may be configured to enable components to quickly couple to or plug into a PCB, thus saving time to form connections. The embedded lateral connectors may also reduce weight and/or size by avoiding need for bulky tradition collections with conventional components (e.g., solders, external pin connectors, etc.). The connectors may include male connectors, female connectors, and/or mounting connectors. The connectors may be configured to connect multiple PCBs together, such as using a stacked configuration, which may enable reducing a volume of space needed in a housing for the PCBs.

A display device includes a base film including a first region and a plurality of second regions having the first region therebetween; an inorganic insulating film on the base film, the inorganic insulating film being in contact with the plurality of second regions of the base film; a plurality of first pixels overlapping the first region; and a plurality of second pixels overlapping the plurality of second regions with the inorganic insulating film being between the plurality of second pixels and the plurality of second regions. The inorganic insulating film is divided by the first region and is discontinuous between the plurality of second regions.

A stripline radio-frequency (RF) connection interface is provided and includes first and second printed circuit boards (PCBs). The first PCB includes a first trace, ground planes at opposite sides of the first trace, dielectric material interposed between the first trace and the ground planes and a first end. The first end is formed as a first rabbet at which the first trace is exposed. The second PCB includes a second trace, ground planes at opposite sides of the second trace, dielectric material interposed between the second trace and the ground planes and a second end. The second end is formed as a second rabbet, which is substantially identical to the first rabbet, at which the second trace is exposed. The first and second ends are mated in a shiplap joint to electrically couple the first and second traces.
